With Latte Dock no longer being maintained, what's another good Dock to use for KDE?
there's a background extension called Vallpaper (not a typo) that can do that also.

KDE users of reddit. What would you say is something you DONT like about kde?
on my current install, activities are worse than worthless. every time I changed activity it reset almost all of my desktop settings and it never remembered anything. I simply wanted to use different wallpapers for each virtual desktop so I installed Vallpaper instead (1.4 because my Plasma is relatively old).

Different desktop backgrounds per virtual desktop in KDE Plasma - script included.
Hi, just wanted to mention this simple script i wrote to allow different desktop backgrounds for different virtual desktops in KDE plasma! I know that this is possible with activities but I miss the ability to lay out different activities in 2d, and the nicer widget (in my opinion) that you get with virtual desktops. Unfortunately Vallpaper seems to be defunct so I went ahead and wrote my own small script.

How to remove this transparent square that belongs to the icon taskbar plasmoid and also how to stop highlighting the selected window?
Fancy Tasks has options to disable indicators and stuff. Give that a try.

Fancy Tasks Update
This is pretty nice! IMO, this is a huge usability upgrade, as I can clearly tell at first-glance that a window is minimized or don't have focus. On the default task manager, a window's state is hard to tell apart. The indicators are a great add, something to fill the gap that Latte's Tasks left. What I would suggest, is probably link the animation speed with Plasma's Global speed (unless OG Task Manager doesn't do that...). Also, maybe brighten the indicator a bit more against the Task Manager's buttons, as grouped window indicators are difficult to see (even when the buttons and indicators use the 'dominant color feature). Maybe this effect would help: https://github.com/alexankitty/FancyTasks/issues/9 , but I think there was a discussion in the VDG about implementing this in Plasma's task manager.
