Description Wolfgang.W 2025-03-21 18:01:39 UTC

Activities in KDE allow you to place many different icons (application launchers) across multiple layers (Activities). This makes the screen much clearer and less cluttered. It used to be possible to place icons on these Activities as application launchers, giving each layer a specific focus (appearance). Now, these placeable "icons," which you could drag onto the layers with a right mouse click, have been replaced by "shortcuts." These shortcuts apparently only recognize one layer, meaning all the new layers I create look the same. Is there a way to "trick" this, or is this a bug?
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
