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?

Going to give KDE Plasma a real try, any "essential tweaks" or distro suggestions?
5 projects | /r/kde | 11 Sep 2021

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 can applications be translucent?
1 project | /r/kde | 5 Jan 2022

openSUSE Tumbleweed. I see a lot of themes and I want my applications (globally) to be translucent, but I don't know how to apply them for other than the bottom bar and the menu. Dolphin and Konsole are shown examples of app translucency but I only get the menu. Look at this examples: https://github.com/prateekmedia/Menu11

Is there a way to make Menu 11 do an animation from the bottom of the screen instead of just fading in and out of existence?

My second experiment with KDE to make pun of some OS 11, then realized KDE can do so much more and tweaked it to my liking.
