Lightbulb Make Multiple Desktops In KDE like those in GNOME


This may be an odd request, but thanks for stopping looking and (hopefully) replying to this litter wonder of mine.

In KDE you have multiple desktops that function fairly well, but you still have the downbars (for lack of a better word) in the control panel. For example: if you're working in desktop one and you switch to desktop two, your program will still be visible in the KDE control panel.

In GNOME it's not that way - your programs stay entirely on the desktop to which they are assigned control panel and all. I was wondering if you could make KDE perform in a similar manner. Not high priority, but it would make my life a little easier - and I'd know it could be done.


Thanks Again!!

If I understand what you are saying:
1) Right click on the panel
2) Choose "Configure panel"
3) Click "Taskbar"
4) Untick "Show windows from all desktops"
5) Click OK.

Thank You!

I just came across how to do this on my own and then got online to see if anyone else knew how to do it. And, well, you beat me to it. Thanks for the reply. Yoyr are 100% correct.
