Anyone else using short toolbars and/or more than 1 toolbar? [KDE] (lemmygrad.ml)

If anyone is wondering why I have an extra reboot/shutdown window, it's because the menu I use for apps doesn't have it and I don't like the menus which do. :D

steal my look:

2 toolbars, 1 on top centered, 1 on right adjusted to the bottom, both made as short as they can be with 20px thickness
top toolbar has Digital Clock and System Tray, bottom right toolbar has Icons Only Task Manager adjusted so new icons spawn on top and a "Minimal Menu" set to tux as the icon
top toolbar set to floating, bottom right not
both toolbars set to translucent and window go below (this is the most important for my setup to me)
Breeze app style
metadata toolbar ("Kanagawa KDE" in the store)
Breeze Dark DeepDark colour variant
Breeze window decoration
default KDE fonts
Keepin icons theme (I change it around a lot, but it's my current fav)
DeepinDark Cursors (alt: BreezeX-Black)
Compact Shutdown Settings for the window on my desktop to be able to conviniently turn off / restart my PC

I use Plasma with a similar concept as yours, with two bars serving the same purposes.

My vertical icons-only bar goes in the lower-left, has chunkier, more glance-able icons (since pixels on the x-axis are plentiful) and this bar reserves its space from maximized windows. Think part WindowMaker/NextStep and part Unity.

Then a fully-opaque longer horizontal bar in the top-right with tray icons, a clock and a few hardware toggle widgets. Critically, like yours this toolbar stays on top of all windows (to make better use of my y-axis pixels), and my window decorations have left-aligned buttons and titles so max-height windows rarely have their titles cut off by the bar.

fully-opaque

How did you achieve this? Custom code?

[–] everett@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Nope, just saying I don't use any transparency for my panels. I don't mind it overlapping and hiding part of the window bar because the important stuff is all on the left side of the bar.

Sorry, I'm just a dummy and my brain sometimes swaps the meanins of opaque and transparent in my head. xd

[–] everett@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

Hah! All good, I know exactly what that one feels like!

Idk I prefer one panel. Never been a fan of docks and that kind of stuff. Still that's a nice setup. Though -2 points for separate power menu. 7/10

My OCD can't stand the shutdown/reboot buttons just floating there. I would just use the terminal for reboot/shutdown.
