Hello guys recently I posted a screenshot of my KDE Plasma workflow on UnixPorn on Reddit , I got more than 700 upvotes, people seemed to like it and they also had a lot of questions about theming, active window control , global menus ..etc...
So I decided to make this video to show you how I customize my KDE Plasma.
Enjoy

I know this video is old, but using "Application Title" for showing the app name in the panel is better IMO, It will automatically adjust the width of the widget so that the whole name is shown instead of always being a fixed width and cutting off the name if it is longer than the fixed width of the widget.

@namitarana268 4 года назад

The dock is not availble on BackBox

@anursetiawan 4 года назад

But there's no window control on Application Title.

@MyurrDurr 4 года назад

@@saf9310 You can do it all from the "get new widget" button for the panel. You need "application title" and "active window control"

@@MyurrDurr I don't recommend Active Window Control anymore 'cause it's outdated. You can download Window Title, Window Buttons and Window Appmenu widgets from psifidotos who's Latte Dock's creator. It's really good and the effects are the same.

@@oldlonecoder5843 if you think KDE is too much customizable, please go away (to some other DE)... or just don't enter the settings menu and ignore those options. (I have been through KDE3.5, KDE4 and KDE5 ... and the loss of customization in KDE4 was the worst time ever, I even did use forked KDE3.5 for some time instead of regular KDE4 ... so if voices like this ever get to the ears of KDE devs and they will start to remove the options, I'll be not happy)

this has the potential to be better than gnome if someone makes an activities overview plasmoid because of its customization and speed the only thing its missing is gestures

@@binbashchannel you should use 3 widgets from Psifidotos (at the KDE store) which are very actively maintained and using more up-to-date APIs. These are: 1) Window Title Applet 2) Window Buttons Applet 3) Window AppMenu Applet I use Latte are both my dock and top panel. Latte has an option inside the Layouts configs to allow the removal of title bars when the window is maximized. Also, theming the buttons is much easier with these applets. One question, though. How did you enable the global menu on GTK apps? Enjoy!

@MysteryMan159 4 года назад

I accidentally installed KDE manjaro once and immediately went back to gnome but ... this is honestly making me want to give it another run ... I just love how you don’t need to download anything from a fandom website to get your themes etc. that’s one of the things that makes Linux so much more safe feeling ... also it just looks great and I love KDE’s desktop widgets.

@noellewastaken 3 года назад

I remember when I saw this video 2 years ago and this is what made me drop Windows over to Linux. Customizability. As someone who used to tweak Windows XP and 7 a lot, I got put out by Windows 10 and the removal of (good) 3rd party custom themes; and even with a custom theme you still needed a lot of extra 3rd party software to tweak every single thing. When I saw this video and saw that you can just right click and change stuff in KDE, I basically fell in love. Never looked back to Windows since.

I'm having so much fun watching and pausing your video so I can customize my Kubuntu as you explain how to do so. I love Linux even more every time I learn how to operate in it. I have a Windows PC, and late 2012 mac mini with macOS. But the more I learn about Linux the more I love it as an operating system, and even more than Windows or macOS. I enjoy Windows and macOS but Kubuntu is free and has "magic" to me as new fresh OS.

I did this simple vídeo to show you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cg1vrSeweJk.html I used the Materia theme and Papirus icons. The two panels are Latte, the menu is Simple Menu from the KDE Store, and I installed the applet-window-title and the applet-window-buttons from github.com/psifidotos/ to merge the windows titles bars to the top panel. I didn't find themes to get something like the Ubuntu 19.04 look yet. I know there are these icons: www.opendesktop.org/p/1238162/, but I've not tried them yet. I'm thinking about making a tutorial, but I'm quite busy with other projects I'm working on. If you have any questions, just ask. :)

That's my weapon of choice on my workstation and laptop, couldn't be happier. The combination of Arch philosophy and community with the flexibility of KDE is the perfect match for me. And it isn't too resource heavy; I run two Activities each with two virtual desktops full of Chromium tabs, and on top of that I was running a virtual Windows domain with two servers and two clients simultaneously, all on a mediocre i5 and 8GB of RAM (plus SWAP of course), and KDE remained butter smooth and responsive.

This is awesome! One thing. I like to have the clock/calendar in the centre. When I have tried this in the past along with a global menu and trying to set two spacers either side of the clock everything's gonna screwy. The clock would dynamically shift depending on the global menu even though there was plenty of space. If you or anyone could think up a way around this I'd be a lot more likely to use KDE. Until then, it's Gnome for me. It's closest to how I like my desktop out of the box.

@quidpanic7095 4 года назад

Thanks man love it

@realpatrik 5 лет назад

This is a workaround for anyone being annoyed that you cannot double click anywhere in the top bar to unmaximize windows. (which is a result of Active Window Control's global menu not working) Simpy use another AWC instead of a spacer between the global menu and whatever comes to the right. For this instance, disable the application icon, name and buttons. Also, enable the fill width option.
