Hi there!

I plan to release v2.0 version of this script with support for Plasma 6, as well as new animations and improvements from the dev channel, which I never got time to finish and release on KDE Store.

However, I don't have enough time these days, and can't promise when I get on this.

Great to hear that there are plans for this. It's unfortunate that an extension is even required for this, I believe this should be a native feature of Plasma. I wish the KDE team would merge your script into the main project or at least sponsor your amazing work.

Hi, I would love to see this extension ported to Plasma 6 😊
Thanks for your work!

Sorry for lack of updates.

Unfortunately, I still don't have time nor physical capability to work on it right now. I'm currently going through a difficult period in my life, moved to another country and trying to get things back together... I'll get back to working on 2.0 update of this script as soon as I could.

If you are willing to help me, please feel free to consider donating to my Kofi – although I can't promise it will speed things up, it will definitely show your love and appreciation for this project, and increase my spirit and motivation in the long run!

I'm sorry that it takes so long.
Best wishes, Max

Okay, so I took a first bite of Plasma 6 porting.
I changed project structure and metadata according to the documentation I found, and also replaced some deprecated code and components.

Currently the script doesn't work and fails silently, with no outputs in the developer console. The only indication of it running is that it swallows keyboard input on Wayland, as it was previously reported. It probably requires a deeper investigation on what exactly is not working.

I created a plasma6-wip branch, which could serve as a starting point for further porting efforts. Contributions are welcome!
