I'm stumped! ![Eek! :o :o](/styles/smilies/google/eek.png)
For decades, I've set up each new computer in a very specific, predictable manner, i.e., giving it nine desktops, then individually configuring each of the nine to have its own wallpaper [and, when I used to feel like it, other stuff, like widgets, but my main desktop is always completely free of any stuff...just wallpaper]. Then I set up Desktop Cube as my method of seeing/switching desktops; I give it a wallpaper, different from any of the other nine, and make its end-caps transparent. The final product can be seen in this old 'desktop' post or here:
I'm running Kubuntu [as always] 20.04LTS on my new laptop. When I started to set up my nine desktops...something was wrong...different...
Some quick searching online led me to this thing I've avoided [as far as I can remember right now] forever: activities. It seems that you're no longer able to assign each virtual desktop its own wallpaper, and have to do it [somehow] using activities. Okay...
Would someone like to clue me in?! If I ever used activities, I don't remember doing so. Is there an idiot's guide to making your desktop look the way I want? I don't have the energy to do anything very labor- or learning-intensive. I've got my nine desktops set up, my Desktop Cube background image set, and that's where I'm stuck.
