How To Love Plasma Activities

KDE 4 has bought allot of new features to the modern linux desktop, however many people are only using a fraction of the desktop's full potential. One of the most useful and underused features is the plasma activities. Your desktop space is limited and with all those shiny new widgets how will you be able to use them all without cluttering the desktop. The answer is activities they allow you to specialise each desktop to whatever task you need to accomplish. To make a new activity you have to click on the cashew in the upper right hand corner, from there click zoom out. The desktop will zoom out then click add new activity under the small desktop. It will make a new desktop right next to it. now go click the zoom in button under the new desktop. with this desktop you can add whatever widgets to this desktop and it will not affect the other desktop. I like some web comics so I add my favorite web comics via the comics widget. now make a new panel at the top of the desktop and add the activity switcher plasmoid, this will make it easier to switch between activities. Here is my setup with my use cases.
