Add Activities Support #16

Closed ordric closed 3 months ago

ordric commented 7 months ago

Would it be possible to add support for activities, so that the pinned icons can change depending on which activity is selected.

For example, in my 'Work activity' I have:

Home, Chrome, Thunderbird, Write, Sheets, Impress etc.

When I change to my 'Novel Writing activity' It would automatically change to:

Home, Chrome, Thunderbird, Typora, Writing-Aids, Zim Notes etc.

And the same would go for my graphics, programming and music activities.

Would that be possible.

Hi,

It's possible. However, I feel it's a bit duplicate with Virtual Desktop. What's the difference if you set up 2 Virtual Desktops: Desktop 1 for Work, and Desktop 2 for Novel Writing?

Thanks, Viet

Because I use several virtual desktops per activity, with other configurations which work per activity, that I can't configure per desktop.

I could use a widget per activity, but they are less configurable and less stable than your dock.

I see.

Sure I will (re)add it in. (Re) because I actually did it in my previous dock (KSmoothDock). I will implement this in the next version of Crystal Dock.

Best, Viet

Thanks... I have been using Ksmoothdock since you started. Glad you have kept Quiet mode in it.
