--- Comment #221 from Caoimhín Ó Donnaíle <caoim...@smo.uhi.ac.uk> ---
Like the many many others who have commented here, I was devastated and rather
indignant that the different widgets, different wallpaper feature had been
removed from the Virtual Desktops. However, thanks entirely to the very useful
reply by an.in...@free.fr (Comment 214, on 2017-01-03), I am now personally
very happy, having replicated the functionality I require using Activities
instead of Desktops. The critical thing is to change the Destop Pager to an
Activity Pager and to change to just one Desktop per Activity, followed by a
bit of customisation of the Activities. Indeed, as far as I can see, Desktops
now, without the differnt widgets/wallpapers facility, are pretty useless and
just a misleading distraction.
I was "forced" to upgrade to OpenSUSE 42.2 (with Plasma 5) since OpenSUSE 13.2
is now supported, and as usual after each upgrade, one of the first things I
set about doing was changing the Desktops to use different widgets. I couldn't
believe it when I searched and searched and still couldn't find the facility
anywhere, and after a lot of Googling I found my way here. Although I am now
perfectly happy with the Activities solution, I think lots of other people will
have the same problem and it would be worth doing more to direct people to
Activities and tell them how to use them.
