Sweet mother of scripting victory!!!

I am seeing how much GUI control I can achieve on Kubuntu v25.10 KDE/Plasma 6/Wayland. The answer is lots.

Here is what I have done since last post:

\- created a pair of directories one for .desktop files of my networked drives in purple icons, one in bronze icons

\- created a pair of scripts to swap on desktop these sets based on workspace number

\#!/bin/bash

DESKTOP="$HOME/Desktop"

SOURCE="/home/logansfury/Documents/network-workgroup-bronze"

FILES=(

"M11AD-E"

"M11AD-H"

"Bedroom PC2"

"M51AD"

"OptiPlex5040"

"HP-Z220-SF-WorkStation"

)

\# Remove old shortcuts

for f in "${FILES\[@\]}"; do

\[\[ -f "$DESKTOP/$f" \]\] && rm "$DESKTOP/$f"

done

\# Copy new shortcuts

for f in "${FILES\[@\]}"; do

if \[\[ -f "$SOURCE/$f" \]\]; then

cp "$SOURCE/$f" "$DESKTOP/"

chmod +x "$DESKTOP/$f"

else

echo "WARNING: $SOURCE/$f not found!"

fi

done

\# Small delay to let Plasma refresh desktop

sleep 2

\# --- Move icons vertically using kdotool ---

\# Note: adjust starting X/Y coordinates and spacing

START\_X=50

START\_Y=50

SPACING=100  # vertical spacing between icons

for i in "${!FILES\[@\]}"; do

ICON="${FILES\[$i\]}"

Y\_POS=$(( START\_Y + i \* SPACING ))

\# Focus desktop and move icon

kdotool mouse move $START\_X $Y\_POS click 1

sleep 0.2

done

echo "Network desktop shortcuts replaced and aligned vertically."

\- Then I got really deep, and created a pair of custom panel colorizer panels colored blue and bronze. I was necessary to downgrade from v6.9.4 to v4.2.0 for the scripting to work, but I have a pair of scripts to change the panel boarder colors based on workspace

\#!/bin/bash

\# 1. DEFINE THE SPECIFIC PATH

TARGET\_PATH="/home/logansfury/.config/panel-colorizer/presets/LGN\_Bronze"

\# 2. EXECUTE THE SWITCH

\# This sends the signal to all panel instances at once

dbus-send --session --type=signal /preset luisbocanegra.panel.colorizer.all.preset string:"$TARGET\_PATH"

echo "Panel Colorizer set to: LGN\_Bronze"

Here is a shot of it in action:

Awesome fun scripting color control
