--- Comment #4 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> --- (In reply to Douglas Beach from comment #3) > Ok... what's the use case for having the wallpaper change? It's simply a side effect of having the underlying desktop move over to the new primary screen. The desktop has icons, a panel, a wallpaper, etc. So the wallpaper simply comes along for the ride. > Or to turn that > around, how can I configure my laptop so that I don't have to change my > wallpaper every time I plug in my external monitor? Use the same wallpaper on both the laptop screen and the external screen. >I don't feel like it's > especially niche to have a laptop that's sometimes does not have the > built-in screen as the primary. Not niche at all; I and many others do it too. The current UX of moving the entire desktop (wallpaper included) to the new primary screen is something many people asked for, and is much much simpler and more comprehensible than what we had before. Overall it's been well-received since we introduced it a year and a half ago in Plasma 5.27 (or was it 5.26? I forget. But as you observed, this isn't new to 6.0). > On the flip side I'm struggling to figure > out why anyone would *ever* want a screen's wallpaper to change unless he > changed it directly. I'm afraid so far you're the first person I'm aware of to complain about the wallpaper specifically. So far no one else has called this specific thing out as a problem, independent of everything else that gets moved over when you switch which screen is primary. So while I'm sympathetic to the fact that this isn't what you expected, I think it would be a good idea to see if you can learn to accept it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
