 Hello everyone and today I'm for the first time recording in GNOME as you can see and it's the very first time since I've started using OBS. Everything works and what I'm going to show you on GNOME is how to use KD Plasma outlets on GNOME which sounds crazy but you can actually do it and if you are asking why should I do that well I gotta say there are some widgets in KD Plasma that are very much useful and you might want to use a full-fledged Plasma panel in GNOME and of course to achieve that we're going to use Latidoc. If you don't know what Latidoc is it's a first-party dock but also a panel whatever you want it to be it's very customizable and you can use it usually in Plasma to replace your normal Plasma panel or complement it and it allows you to do pretty much everything but it also works on GNOME and you can see that I can you can install it with sudo apt-get in install Latidoc and then it will appear on your application list and you can launch it from here but just to show you I can also launch it from here with Latidoc without the replace because it's not actually running just default layout which tells it just use the defaults because I did customize it but like this you will see that it will appear on the bottom using its default which is a very simple dock with all of the applications and already if you use GNOME and you want a third-party dock well this is a good option it's the Plasma one and the good thing about it is that it's so customizable so let's right click and we can edit dock and we'll get this customization window with an advanced button which I would suggest you to click right away because so much is for stuff in it and if you're using Latidoc in GNOME you probably want you're probably an advanced user so lots of stuff but the main thing that we want to do is I think I don't remember where is it again but somewhere somewhere you should have a panel button somewhere as where it was here what if I do add a default panel like this let's give it a second to actually work oh it was here dock panel sorry about that and now we've got the default panel of Plasma in GNOME so we don't need this one anymore so let's take it off and we can see that our panel is cropping up with this activity button so let's move it to the bottom and is this Plasma GNOME we cannot tell anymore and it works with some caveats let's close the settings as an example well I can open kickoff and it will act as intended maybe it's no I thought it was a bit slow but it actually isn't it's very much not and you get all of the options that Latidoc has and some of the things is you don't get transparency and sorry the opposite you do get transparency but you don't get blur so you can see that windows that are beneath this applet as an example you can see through them it's probably not a big deal for most of you it's just might be slightly annoying you can absolutely customize the opacity and transparency of the panel I don't think you can off the actual widgets unless you change the plasma theme which you can I don't know how you would do it on GNOME but you can do that just install kdplasma and do it there I don't know how and you can install and run any third party widget and yes you can see that there's some issues that like if I click on the desktop this should disappear it doesn't have to click on an application for it to actually disappear animations are slightly off but it looks good anyway but I was as I was saying we can add any third party widget if we click on add widgets we get the kdplasma add widgets sidebar just like there and there's all of all of them like all of them let's pick one like a very simple one desktop nodes and we can add it here in latidoc and it's done and we can open it up and start typing and it's just like plasma just like that please get our apps back it did minimize okay and what else to say I think this is so cool like honestly it everything that you would expect expect to work actually works like the minimize button actually minimize the applications you can open and close applications through here of course the panel doesn't appear as it's on application in the overview you can switch between virtual desktops even though these are GNOME virtual desktops and not kdplasma ones so latidoc does actually recognize I don't know if it's latidoc or the actual kdplasma widget but something does work here which I don't know what that is you get all of the system tray which allows you to change the speakers if you don't like fully like this one you can install this one which has a bit more options if you're into that you can do if you don't like the full panel do just a dock with only the widgets that you'll actually need as as you saw at the beginning in the small dock you could actually add any kind of widget already you didn't then didn't need sorry to actually do the whole panel thing you can see that there is the microphone it's a bit high let's lower it to 96% do you still hear me yes there's wi-fi the clipboard everything works let me show you a bit more options you can of course change the alignment blah blah blah the visibility you can set it to auto hide or dodge the maximized application or all of them so many options like every time I open this menu there's more stuff in it it's awesome you can customize the actions that happen when you actually you know click on it like as an example if we use the left button on the panel we can actually drag the active application somehow and I don't know if it works honestly it did work of course on plasma but maybe it's only for maximized applications I don't remember as far as appearance go you can customize the items the size the margins you can like the background as well so that's even more transparent and of course you can pick the opacity whatever you want can you actually do blur does it support it it doesn't see told you it doesn't support blur obviously that's because of blur not being implemented in the queen sorry in the GNOME's window manager you can make it opaque only when touching a window so you know like the default top bar in like Ubuntu I think it's like transparent by default but when maximized becomes opaque you can do that effects the shadows I think these are off because CSD shadows don't work here but maybe I'm wrong I don't remember sorry about that is there actually any shadow I can tell let me change the background right away right away my computer is very slow this is very light I don't see any shadow but maybe I'm blind and I can't zoom in I'm so used to plasma but yeah green as far as shadow goes for kickoff you don't get shadows for applets either you can see that the positioning of kickoff is wrong it should be I can't move it I can't move it that's that it should be attached to the border without this weird empty line but honestly it's fine like if you wanted something cool to try out and all of the powers power off kitty applets and everything that works there as far as I've seen works here as well so I think this is super nice like honestly the fact that you can just open this up and everything that works in kitty like works here isn't it amazing like honestly honestly let me honestly and I think that was enough for today I don't have anything else to say on the panel so let me just say bye to all of you and thanks to all of the patrons like honestly I've received even more messages which is like extraordinary I received a boom of view boom of views and I thought after that it would go back to normal it didn't so many of you are still watching this video super happy and there's also this special guest here and lastly I want to say is that my normal room where I usually record is currently three degrees here it's very cold so you will see me changing the room pretty often and that was it thank you for watching see you tomorrow
