Wow it looks great !!!
Curious how you get the app’s menu bar to become separated like that. Is that normal for KDE? I haven’t used KDE for 20 years…
It’s always been an option (iirc called “Global Menu”), it only works with apps that specifically support it though (Either through Qt or custom support for GTK apps) so that’s why it’s not the default.
I created separate panels for the widgets at the top of the screen, giving them a separated appearance. I think it’s useful because they grow or shrink depending on the content, maximizing screen real-estate
Sorry, I meant how you get the menu separated from the app itself.
@victorz @Gemini24601 Do you mean the app icons on the bottom bar being separated from the launcher icon on the left? The task manager (which displays the app icons) & the launcher (which gives you a categorized list of all installed apps when couches) are different widgets in modern Plasma. You can put other widgets between them, such as a panel spacer like what’s shown here. A panel spacer is an invisible widget that takes up a certain amount of space on a panel or can be made “flexible”, which will cause it to take up all available space but allow other widgets to take that space back whenever they push against it. Two panel spacers are holding the task manager in the middle of the panel.
Pretty sure they mean the menu bar (file, edit, etc.) being separate from the content pane (the main center panel.
Exactly. 👍
