[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.

    Well that’s certainly interesting. Is there a particular usecase or reason you wanted a setup with a split pannel?

    I’ve had the same issues with “cross-posting” to lemmy, not really sure why additional media doesn’t show up properly 😅

      @Cris_Color I usually tile windows to each half of the screen or each quarter of the screen, which either can’t happen all the way if the bottom panel doesn’t hide or hides the whole bottom panel if it does. This way I can still see the opposite half if one window is tiled on one half. It’s also something weird that I’ve never heard of & I like unique interfaces, even if this one is still pretty close to a common interface.

        Ahhhh, interesting, when using a pannel I never use autohide so I hadn’t considered that

        I also enjoy unique interfaces- thanks for sharing, it’s a neat setup! 😊
