--- Comment #2 from alene...@mailbox.org --- (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Thanks for the ideas, but these effects aren't planned for the Plasma panel, > sorry. Our intention is not to create a visual clone of macOS. Sorry, but you have misunderstood, what I wanted to propose. Not a widget for the plasma panel, but a widget for the panel dock, or shortly, simply for a dock, like it was in latte dock. Because latte dock will not be ported to Plasma 6 , most developers of Mac Global Themes have introduced docks built from the floating panel or from a second panel in the lower part of the screen. But these docks are rigid and inflexible like taskbars in a Windows layout, unlike latte dock. The only thing that I want, is create a widget to animate that dock with bouncing and zooming effects. That has nothing to do with the upper control panel. You could code that widget such, that these effects should only work in docks, not for taskbars. In Gnome there is an extension called "Dash2Dock Animated" for the dock, to animate that dock. Besides I think that KDE is totally Windows charged and does less for those who love the MacOs style. These category menus all over these distributions, I find them boring, greedy and complicated. I love the simplicity of Macos. A visual clone? Then why such widgets exist like kpple menu, Launchpad Plasma or Klaunch, Global Menu and latte dock. In Plasma 5 I realized a perfect layout for me, similar to that in MacOs, but with partly other dark themes than in MacOs. And I'm aware that this is not a visual clone of MacOs and that Mac uses other apps than in KDE and Linux. That's not a problem for me. The only thing, that's important for me, is this wonderful simple layout inherited from MacOs. So, that's not a visual clone, as you wrote. The one user loves the Windows layout, another the default layout of KDE or other possible layouts. That's Ok! But I love the Mac layout, because it is simple and unique in the computer world. If you want to do nothing for a dock, then port latte dock to Plasma 6 or create a new dock, or even create a Qt version of Cairo Dock for example. And: "Our intention is not to create a visual clone of MacOs". You don't have to create a clone of MacOs, it's ME that creates that MacOs layout, not KDE. KDE delivers only the elements to create whatever you like. That's why KDE is ideal, full of possibilities to do that. That's why I chose KDE as my DE, a few years ago. And, when you want to do nothing at all, then I must leave KDE forever and probably also Linux. It's now your turn, to do something or not. You decide! I must apologize, but I'm always clear in what I have to say, as I also do in my everyday's live, without offending someone. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
