    Create 3 panels - top left (left aligned) - top center (center aligned) - top right (right aligned) Widgets on Panels: - Top Left - Corner Menu (if you know kpple, it's an enhanced version of it) - Application Title - Global Menu - Top Center - Any clock widget of choice (I use Better Inline Clock) - Top Right - Window Buttons (Download in kde.org, you will not find it if you will only click "Get New Widgets" I think) - System Tray - Volume - Any battery widget of choice - Bluetooth - Network - Ditto Menu - Notifications - Show Desktop Widget on Desktop: - Fancy Clock Packages: - Latte Dock - Add-on: mcOS-BigSur-small layout - download through ping or kde.org - Kvantum - Add-on: WhiteSur-Dark Kvantum Theme - download through ping or kde.org Global Theme: Edna Application Style: kvantum-dark (apply once kvantum is fully configured with the add-on theme) Plasma Style: WhiteSur-Dark (To have the curved or transparent panel) You can also try ROUNDED, it's somehow similar I think Window Decorations: - Window border size: No Borders Icons: Papirus-Green-Dark Cursors: FossaCursors Desktop Effects: (modify on your on liking) - Blur - Translucency (you can make inactive windows trasparent and more) KWin Scripts: Force Blur Window Rules: To remove title bar, follow steps on this link with a very little difference.

Run it through krunner. Yes, krunner. Because if you run it through terminal and close the terminal, the effects will also be gone. Well, that's how it worked for me at least. Last step: Logout (I prefer restart) just to make sure everything is all good

    1 project | /r/kde | 30 Jun 2021
    I don't think it's possible to round the bottom corners with KDecoration but there is a KWin effect called ShapeCorners that will round the corners of borderless windows. There is a fork which can also draw a thin translucent border inside the window called LightlyShaders

    Hi! I want to install the LightlyShaders kwin effect on my laptop. This seems to be a complex effect that I need to compile instead of just go to the "Install new effects" button. I followed the compiling instructions (using nix-shell to get all the dependencies) but the effect doesn't appear on the configuration window. I think this is related to how nixos directory tree works. So, any idea of how I can install this? Thanks!
  • Removing this window boarder

    I tried installing Lightlyshaders curved window border. But it didn't turn out like the pictures. Was wondering if there is a way to remove the rectangular box the window seems to have so I can have nice-looking curved windows. I looked everywhere and didn't see a solution maybe I was using the wrong search terms.
