Watching a promotional video for KDE Plasma 5.18 (https://vimeo.com/384051225),
the user "KonqiDragon", proposed and demonstrated several possible layouts in
Plasma, thanks to you and the Latte Dock, the specific layout of the image 01
(https://imgur.com/nV26cSR), it caught my attention, it makes use of the
floating feature present in the latest version of the Latte Dock, both in the
lower dock and in the upper panel.
I liked the floating design of the top panel, I don't know any Operating System
that adopts this same concept, in the bottom dock there are several, it is a
trend.
There is a downside to using this design on the top panel today, you lose
useful screen space both vertically and horizontally, as shown in image 02
(https://imgur.com/3wrJVpz).
To get around this, I propose two new options to the Latte Dock.
The first one, would be when a window was maximized, the panel would be
automatically positioned at the edge of the screen, with this option, the
vertical screen waste is resolved, however the horizontal remains, as shown in
image 03 (https: // imgur.com/9i4oQyi).
The second option would have the same behavior as the first, but it would
extend the panel on both sides of the screen, as shown in image 04
(https://imgur.com/xwk7lGi).
Undoubtedly the second option (image 04), is the one that has the best use of
the screen, however users with large screens can choose to preserve the rounded
corners, possible with the option of image 03.
Both options are very important especially for people who have notebooks with
small screens, as is my case. :)
