Screenshot showing desktop grid in plasma 6 without option to select number of
rows vs in plasma 5.27.
SUMMARY
In KDE Plasma 5.27, there was an option to specify the number of rows for
virtual desktops in the Desktop Grid effect (Settings → Desktop Effects →
Desktop Grid). This feature allowed for better use of screen real estate by
arranging virtual desktops across multiple rows.
In Plasma 6.1, this option has been removed, leading to all virtual desktops
being displayed in a single row in Desktop Grid Effect, which is less efficient
for window management.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Plasma 6.1 system settings.
2. Navigate to Window Management → Virtual Desktops and ensure multiple
desktops are enabled.
3. Open Desktop Effects and navigate to Overview (as Desktop Grid effect was
merged with Overview).
OBSERVED RESULT
The option to set the number of rows is missing, and all virtual desktops are
displayed in a single row in the Desktop Grid Effect.
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be an option to specify the number of rows for virtual desktops in
the Desktop Grid effect, as it existed in Plasma 5.27, allowing for better use
of screen space.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 40
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Desktop rid Effect was merged into Overview so this option should be in
Settings → Window Management → Desktop Effects → Overview.
