Does not work with BSPWM Workspaces

5310 opened this issue 4 years ago · 5 comments

This widget cannot show BSPWM Workspaces; simply shows a blank widget (and the plus icon if it's enabled). While BSPWM is active the "stock" KDE pager widget can still list the BSPWM Workspaces.

Example screenshot on Kubuntu 20.04.1 with Virtual Desktop Bar as the second widget from the left (blank space with plus icon) and then the stock pager:

Thanks for reporting. I'll try to make it work again with other window managers.

Thank you very much. I read that it works with i3 so I was afraid I was doing something wrong with BSPWM, but even failed in a live install, so... I'll wait for any updates :D

Actually, your issue made me realize that, after the changes in the 1.0 version, the plasmoid doesn't work with any other window manager than KWin. It's just my stupidity that is in fault. I'll provide some fallback code paths, so it will work without KWin.

All right, it should be working now. Please check out the master branch and let me know if it is.

It works perfectly now! 🙌

I just ran the uninstall script, pulled, installed again and it worked after the re-log! Ofc the plus button doesn't work, but that's entirely to be expected (and I at least don't need it anyway:)

Thanks a lot for such a quick fix. Sorry to have ate up your Halloween with a bug, but I appreciate it a lot :]
