@rozodru You’ll have to put Doom music in your next preview video!

@rozodru It looks really good!

How did you come up with the name? I know the NEDM meme but I wasn’t sure that was it since I can’t see how it applies.

@Sunsofold Oh ok! I’m pretty sure that’s another widget, but I forgot what it’s called. The menu bar can be hidden by setting a window rule, then you can add the widget to the desktop or a panel.

@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.

@jjba23 Is the code machine generated like their profile picture, or is this a real thing?

@checksout I missed this!
I got the split panel & side bar by just making two more panels. Plasma lets you add extra panels & put them on whichever side of the screen you want. For the two bottom panels I had to manually adjust their sizes so they would only fill the left half or the right half of the bottom. You can probably do this with other desktops that have panels or if you only have a window manager & a bar there’s probably a way to duplicate that bar. I think I’ve seen similar things done with Waybar but I don’t know if it’s really two bars or if it’s just visual. I’m only familiar with Plasma so I have no idea how to do this with anything else.

@yaslam This looks really nice!! Solarized dark is always good.
I had been trying to do this on Plasma 5 & Plasma 6, only to find out it’s only possible in earlier versions of Plasma. Eventually I started working on making it look glassy like Android Holo instead since that is kind of doable.

@crashdoom I’m not optimistic about the situation after seeing their repeated use of transphobic slurs & threats against transgender people, but I hope that tenforward.social users find out about their admin’s behavior & are able to move before everything collapses. :(
