You always had an ability to put things on the desktop in Plasma, even in KDE 4.0. It just worked in a completely different way, unrelated to the "Desktop" folder in the filesystem.
Also, Alt+PPM works well for resizing the Plasma menus now. It was missing for some time due to architectural changes.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoPPM? Didn't realise it had been fixed, there's no affordance for resize on the menu ... Definitely wasn't a usable way for putting icons on the desktop when plasma rolled out.
- seba_dos1 9y agoSorry, RMB :) Used Polish name for some reason. There was, in a form of the icon plasmoid. It worked and behaved completely differently than Folder View does, but if you really wanted, you could have some icons on the desktop. It still works, by the way - it gets created when you drag'n'drop something into the non-Folder View based desktop. I think drag'n'dropping might have been added shortly after 4.0, but the icon widget was there from the beginning for sure.
