[Plasma] To demonstrate the power of Flex Tape…
I sawed this panel in half!
I’ve never seen anyone do this. It seemed like a good idea & it was. It’s very nice. It’s not very fancy besides the split bottom panel & the status bar on the left. I’m using Smart Video Wallpaper Reborn for the wallpaper & the Plasma style, application style, & window decorations are Oxygen. The audio visualizer on the right bottom panel is Panon. The comic is Freefall by Mark Stanley.
Sorry if I formatted this badly, I’m using Mastodon & I’ve never made a Lemmy post.

@checksout I missed this!
I got the split panel & side bar by just making two more panels. Plasma lets you add extra panels & put them on whichever side of the screen you want. For the two bottom panels I had to manually adjust their sizes so they would only fill the left half or the right half of the bottom. You can probably do this with other desktops that have panels or if you only have a window manager & a bar there’s probably a way to duplicate that bar. I think I’ve seen similar things done with Waybar but I don’t know if it’s really two bars or if it’s just visual. I’m only familiar with Plasma so I have no idea how to do this with anything else.
