My custom HUD setup for plasma. Works with both GTK, Qt and electron app (everything with dbusmenu). Works on X11 and Wayland. Link- https://github.com/Zren/plasma-hud, Theme- https://github.com.cnpmjs.org/undiabler/nord-rofi-theme
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.

Can I combine Windows Title and Window Appmenu applets on Latte panel so that window title fills up available space but does not truncate the appmenu?
Yeah, I know, the other issue is here: https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-title/issues/33 , I hope that gets addressed evetually:-).

Going to give KDE Plasma a real try, any "essential tweaks" or distro suggestions?
If you want multiple panels in a Unity like layout, I found it easier to do that with latte dock than with the builtin panels. I also like using this Plasma applet to display window title in a plasma/latte panel.

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.
