Hi everybody!
I’ve just installed Kubuntu and I’m using Linux gui for the first time.
I have 2 4K screens, one horizontal and one vertical. With Windows I divide the horizontal one in 4 equal parts and the vertical in 3 parts so that all are almost 16:9 and each have it’s own taskbar that’s so useful to me because I know what I’ve opened in every virtual screen and if in virtual screen there is Outlook, but I need to take in foreground Chrome that I know it’s there (but it’s also in other screens), I can click on Chrome on the virtual screen 1 taskbar. If there are no multiple taskbar, I would have to click on Chrome on the main taskbar and select which window I need (which can be problematic because not always it’s possible to see what’s going on in the small preview).
Is this or something similar possible with KDE plasma (I’m on 6.1.5).
Thanks!
So something like tiling, but with taskbars on each screen that only show the application/windows of that given screen?
I’ve had a look at tiling and yes, that with taskbar for each screen. I’ve been using that setup (with DisplayFusion) for years and now I can’t work without it!
for the taskbar part: you can just add an additional panel to your second screen, pull a window list on it that configure it so that it only shows windows of that active screen (I’m currently not on KDE so I can’t be of more assistance), kwin afaik has a tiling plugin/mode that you can activate.
The problem is that I need on for each virtual screen: 7, but thanks for the suggestion, I’ll look into it
