Share your desktop, what does it look like?

I have some painting based wallpapers that are similar except being for autumn.

How do you get that top statusbar like that? It looks great!

It looks great because it's KDE/Plasma :wink:

Thanks freshjeff:
I download a number of KDE plasma global themes and applied various parts of them. The panels are manually setup by me using the relax-light plasma style. Zorin uses the gnome DE, my old laptop is using Endevour OS KDE, because it installs easily on that old computer. I like learning different DE's also.

Which distro and which version of Plasma did you went for?
If you need some help setting stuff up I'll happily help.

I suspect. with the artwork, kde neonuser, but wait to be corrected. I am staying well clear of neonuser these days. Why? Update from 5.27 to 6.0 led to many users being unable to login. Then a major upgrade baulked the entire system leading to an install using updated .iso and when this got an update it turned into Ubuntu 22.04 with full Gnome Desktop. If you want a stable Plasma release I only recommend 2 distros. First choice PCLOS Debian (no bloatware of systemd, and Pipewire out of the box and no Pulse Audio), second choice is Q4OS, a Debian based rolling release and for noobs probably the better choice for its Look Switcher.

I actually still use Zorin and just installed the kde plasma desktop environment, the package name is kde-plasma-desktop, although there was some faffing around to be able to get to version 5.25+ so that i could get the floating panels working.

Found out days later that floating panels is a new feature

I noticed that plasma is now a separate package from kde-full myself recently. Both PCLOS Debian and Q4OS use 5.27 but the former uses a higher (Liquorix) kernel, Q4OS uses 6.1

May be off topic ... I hope not .... but here is my Brave Browser start up screen with a Wallpaper of one of the photos I chose from swarfs post about log cabins ..... I think it looks fantastic ....
