 What is your favorite panel arrangement for Kiri Plasma? Now this one here is just up all, although it has eight hundred votes, and its options are a bit weird. Like we have Kiri Plasma, and then we have Mekitench like, and then Windows 11 like with centered icons, which is also technically speaking Chrome OS like, and then a very generic others. But I'm sure the most interesting part is the others. So there is actually a whole thread with 62 comments, which disappeared in front of my eyes, because thank you Reddit. And I think it is interesting to see what those are. Because in my opinion, the default layout of Kiri Plasma is really simple, but if we wanted to there, there might be some better layouts. It's not like I'm sure there's a layout that's better for everyone, but it may be interesting. So let's see. The first comments actually let's sort by top. So we know what's the most upvoted one, which is indeed the same one. This one says that configurability is key. And I mean, I fully agree with that. And actually I think that being able to customize panels should be like the basis of a desktop. I can understand some desktops not offering that, but personally speaking, if you have a panel, maybe not like GNOME, which is a bar, which is different, but a panel, you should allow the user to customize the size. I'm looking at you Windows 11. Panel at the left is actually a rather common one. There's even a screenshot somewhere. No, what is this? After a bunch of panels at the bottoms. Okay, so there is a link, but I'm slightly confused what content this link points at. Well, there's no screenshots, so I don't know. Having a panel on the left is actually rather common. And for a while, there were proposals to ask any to switch to a left side panel by default. And personally speaking, I wasn't even like fully against that. I was a bit, I had my doubts, but I wasn't against. Surely one thing that you do notice is that many outlets do not fit well a left aligned panel. As an example, the clock becomes so small. And a simple solution is to use like the hour and the minutes, one on top of another. And we should just implement that, I guess. There's third party plus might doing that. And if we were to switch to a left side panel by default, too, I mean, help us distinguish from Windows too. Well, in that case, those widgets should be adapted to work very well on a left side panel. Obviously. Next one is a top panel. I've never understood the appeal of having a dock. I can understand top panel is I think slightly more rare compared to bottom panel and left panel. Although I might be completely wrong. Who knows from developers, let's say that I've seen more developers with left panels compared to top panels. And I do fully see the appeal of a top panel and me myself, I've used a top panel for years. And until I switch to the kid is default. And I think the gnome layout particularly works really well, just having as an example the time to be at the center. It's so nice. And then there is dock at the bottom, including this tray, which I think is very close to Latidock default. This is actually Latidock. This looks at the dock. But it's actually very interesting as a Latidock configuration. I wonder where the panel actually is because you do see all of the icons at the center. And then there is actually the system tree on the bottom right. But there is nothing that actually connects the dock and the system tree. For all we know, this could actually be two separate panels. And that would kind of help as an example. If you have a window, you would be able to click in this area here and actually click the window instead of a transparent panel. It's interesting. I'm like not against it. And I don't know, let's see the next one. It's the first one, which is very original. So thank you for that. Without a bar, you only need horizontal mouse prediction to select a tab. With a bar, you require horizontal and vertical precision. I'm confused. Event calendar at the bottom right also makes it possible to move the mouse to the bottom right and change the volume with your mouse wheel. Yes, that's possible with the system tree. And it's pretty cool. Without ever removing your eye focus from whatever you're doing. So that's actually pretty smart. So the idea is you've got the clock on the bottom right. And if you just move the mouse all over bottom right and start scrolling, it will change the volume because that is event calendar and scrolling on event calendar actually changes the volume. So you don't even have to seek for the volume buttons or the volume applet in the system tree. That's actually pretty smart. I like it. Next one, I have a floating mini taskbar with icons and system tree icons plus time. Then a second top bar with global menu that how to hide, which sounds very Macintosh is, isn't it Macintosh, a floating mini taskbar with icons and system tree. Okay, I guess system tree, the system tree is on the top and Macintosh, but in this case, it's in the panel. So that's the difference. And we've got a screenshot. This wallpaper seem to be very nice. Let's zoom in. Yeah, it's a nice wallpaper. I like it. I gotta say that the position of the clock is amazing. Great job on that. It looks pretty cool. I did totally did not expect the top panel to not fill with. And it's an interesting concept. To be honest, I like it. It's both floating, both are floating. Now, right now, this doing this panel, this is surely latter. Doing this with default plasma panels isn't possible, but hopefully it will soon be. Just give me a little bit of time. I've done a merge request to actually make panels be able to float. And hopefully, hopefully, it will soon be ready for five dot 25. So nicely out. And I just love the time here. There's also a clock here. I wonder if it could have been, I don't know, maybe some thing. Then there is unity style with without latte. And there's even instruction on how to do this one. So unity style is interesting. And it's actually the style that I first encountered because my first desktop was actually unity. Both times that I started using Linux as a children and then as a teenager. I started with unity. It's interesting. I especially liked the start menu that was not full screen, but big enough. And it will, it had a pretty powerful search. I liked it. It was very nice. I personally prefer plasma, but still nonetheless interesting. None. Okay, this is not the thing that I expected. But now that you see it, it makes sense. There's a tiny how to hidden panel. Well, it's not none then at about 25% in on the bottom edge with since three o'clock and up launcher. I only have it there to put the system tray somewhere really its place. Yes, because if you don't have the system tray, you're going to have some issues as an example. I think notification might have some issues without any system tray. Maybe they don't even show up or they show up in the wrong spot. I don't remember something like that. Maybe also the clipboard. I think that if you don't have this report my issues, maybe not. It's placed there since most apps don't have any core actions on the spot, which is interesting. That's, that's a fair point. Okay, this is one I didn't expect truly. And then there is a Chrome OS layout with a bottom panel with the application launcher to the left centered tasks and system tray clock on the right, like this. Oh, I recognize the wallpaper. This is one of my favorite plasma wallpapers. Actually, I just love this wallpaper. I asked for this wallpaper to be the default, but it wasn't right at that given time. And it looks really nice. I really hope that the plasma theme is the default one because if so, then there is such a nice blur, like you can see here it has a green, yellowish tint whereas here it's purple. I just love it. And for such a wide monitor, I think this bottom panel is approved. So we've got a panel on the bottom with pager task manager panel on the top with application launcher, application icons, resource monitor, system tray and clock. That's interesting. A default panel on top with just centered icon. So Chrome OS but reversed, makes sense. Left panel, panel on the top, window dodging up icon dock at the right, window dodging non combining window lists at the bottom right, always on top panel at the top right, but offset to avoid window decoration buttons. Okay, this seemed to be so specific, but it has no screenshots. I gotta ask for a screenshot like this. I'm just too curious. So you've got like four panels. So one at the right with the dock, another one always in the bottom right, so bottom right. Okay. And then there's one always on the top. So even on top of windows at the top right, but offset to avoid window decoration, I totally need a screenshot on this one. Follow the thread because this one seemed to be very interesting. And then there is the KDE 1.x style with two panels. And wait a second KDE 1.x style with two panels. I don't remember. Was it the double? Let's see if I can find any screenshot because I totally don't remember it now where the second panel is in. Ah, yes. Yes. Yes. It was the double thingy. Where is it? Okay. So it's actually like this. So you've got on the top, the apps, opened apps, and on the bottom, the menu, the app icons, and the virtual desktops. Interesting layout. I totally had forgotten about that. Then we've got bottom set centered with auto hide, a ladder dock set up to look like unity, but with the trash can replaced by user switcher. User switcher makes sense. One right panel, a tiny top panel that displays the insistent tree on the left is only icons only task manager without any pins. Makes sense. And then crown kit, of course, for a tiny manager experience, if you've got another unity style here, which let's see, I gotta say though, a unity style to me is also a top panel. If you don't have a top panel, I don't think it's very unity style. With the full panel on the left, but no top bar. Yeah. Such a whist of space. I can understand that. I can understand not wanting to have a top panel. Let's see if there's any very interesting one. There is just this comment, vanilla kitty plasma. This is the first one actually saying, no, I don't change my panels. Thank you. Then what else? Kevantum iridescent with latte and beauty line icons. Okay. Very specific. I just love this comments. That makes no sense whatsoever. Like trying to be an insult, but not quite being able to. I love KDE, but baby lies just ugly. Sorry, poor baby lie, I guess. What else do we have? The first last one is no bottom dock or panel, no icons only task manager or anything. No title bars. A top panel with application menu bar and season tray. So, oh, interesting. What's, what's this? Okay. Let me analyze a second this week. So the, the first word we are weird. Sorry. Thing is that we've got windows open and half of the screen is just left open. Like, sorry, there's no window on the right part. Why is there any explanation that nope. The wallpaper seem to be interesting. It just has this pattern. I like it. It's very minimalistic. I wouldn't use it, but I, and then what's, what's really the reason for not having windows on? Is this like two monitors? I don't think so. It looks weird. And then the style of the applications. Okay. I can understand this one. I guess you achieve this. You can totally achieve a button free terminal. This application here, what is this? Is this like, I guess Spotify with custom CSS? This seems, yes, Spotify. Yeah. This is Spotify with custom, custom CSS, I guess. Very specific. The only thing in my opinion that doesn't work of this screenshot is this bottom here at top. Let me zoom in here. This bottom here is inconsistent with everything else. Everything else works, but this button doesn't. And that was everything. And before we go, one thing, I, from now on, all of the donations that I will receive on people will go towards, sorry, buying a new camera because as good as this one is, I think we can do better. I think we can do better. So I want to buy a new one. I'm investigating on which one to buy. And about that, there's one person that is quite helping me through email. So thank you a lot for that. And if you want to help me improve the quality of my videos truly, you can feel free to make donations. And also thank you for all of those people that already did and do have a Patreon account and are donating to me because that helps. Thank you and see you tomorrow.
