OK I did not know the desktop could do that, that’s actually pretty cool. I assumed you were talking about virtual desktops but I didn’t realise the icon space on the desktop can spill of screen and then be scrolled.

That’s actually pretty useful - could keep some less used links of screen until you want and scroll them back into view

It does? Multiple desktops and activities or something else? (Link doesn’t load)

Nah, if you just put the file lower than the lowest part of the grid, it just snaps below that to create a NEW column and turns into a scroll-able, I accidentally did this and now Im in love with it lol

In the video: I had 2 files, I proceeded to then use the middle scroll to then scroll to another file at the very bottom of the desktop, and I was able to just scroll up and down like it was a window, not sure if its a bug, but I do NOT want it fixed lol

Thanks.

Works with my plasma6, too. It feels a bit like unintended behaviour. 🙂

It does because it doesnt feel intentional how it starts a new column, but I love it still. [It should just be a feature with starting columns easier]

The desktop is scrolling. Like a webpage.

Huh, interesting. I had no idea. Though for the most part I’ve generally come to enjoy the default of generally having no icons on the desktop anymore. All that sort of stuff relegated to a dodging panel.

But that’s also part of why I love KDE and plasma. And use it as my preferred desktop over gnome. The configurability.

It lets you do so many obscure things and I love it. You get treated like you are fully in charge.
