applet-window-buttons VS LightlyShaders

Panels (stock plasma panels): Top (left to right): - Default app launcher - applet-window-buttons - applet-window-title - Default Global menu - Default Clock between two Panel spacers - Netspeed Widget (sysfs) - System tray - Virtual desktops pager

My approach: $ git clone https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-buttons.git to my ~/Downloads and run install.sh script

Use this and this one for Windows buttons

- Window buttons

The guy who created latte dock maintains a trio of widgets (https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu, https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-buttons, https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-title) which are just PERFECT for that purpose. They don't require you to run latte, but it helps if you have more than one screen.

Window Buttons Applet

I did not know about Active Window Control. The scroll wheel to max/minimize feature is really handy. I am using another simple widget called Window Buttons though. It is not feature rich unlike Active window control but it looks good and serves my basic purpose.

There is a fork of LightlyShaders at https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders which sort of works on Wayland from git master but not as well as it used to on previous KWin versions.

Not so straightforward setup but here you go: - Plasma theme: Modified lightly-plasma - Application theme: this fork of Lightly - Window decoration: Klassy - Window rounded corners: (LightlyShaders KWin effect)[https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders/] - Wallpaper - Plasma and everything else colors: kde-material-you-colors

This is the best fork I think https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders

Well there are things like https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders which come close.

Check out https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders Currently using the v2.0 branch of that desktop effect in combination with https://github.com/kupiqu/SierraBreezeEnhanced and here is how my desktop looks right now: https://imgur.com/a/Mb52FkL

I use this Desktop Effect (Lightlyshader) for my rounded corners, the only problem is, it does not play nice with many other Desktop effects(Wobbly, Magic Lamp, etc), so test it and see what break or doesn't.

You may want to give LightlyShaders KWin effect a try and see how it compares to kde-rounded-corners effect.

how is it different from: https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders

I was using https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders for rounded corners and it appears to have stopped working after the update. Can anyone confirm or is it just for me?
