It would be great if it was possible for someone to take a "snapshot" of their desktop as it currently is (desktop layout, theme, desktop containment type, panel layout, icons, used applets, etc) and package it in a standard way, so that another person could just download it and use it with no need to download each component separately and possibly customize.

A lot of people are not good with aesthetics (me too) and they never get to have those nice desktops in the screenshots found on kde-look

this should be combined with the first run wizard (another idea on brainstormkde) so you may have optional import old saved settings features

this is for sure a duplicated thread, related to managing plasma configs (save, load, import, export, set default, ..)

@ Mamonetti: Do you know which idea specifically it is a duplicate of? I couldn't find one.

The post is quite long, but the main idea is to provide a plasma config manager, which makes more sense once you have one activity per virtual desktop. In the end it's very similar to this. Maybe that post is more complex, but basically it's the same.

Anyway, keeping this "compact" idea is good for me.

Hello, I see this thread has been moved to the "Duplicate" category, but it seems the thread with the original idea does not get a lot of attention since it's a bit difficult to understand, while this already has 36 supporters. Maybe it would be better to let this idea be shown to users, since a lot of them seem to like it ?

We had a discussion about that, and the conclusion was that the original idea would always be the one shown.
