Mix window title bar and pannel

Thu Jan 21, 2010 10:50 am
Hello,
I would like to use the full space of the desktop. I just need on it a button to launch apps. When it's done, i would like to have in my window title bar the usual informations i have in the kde task bar (time, task manager, desktop manager, systray, etc.) Now they are plasmoids maybe it's possible to do.

I hope you will excuse my poor english.

Thanks and have a good day

Actually I would say it's not possible to do - window decorations and plasma is completely separate. You can't simply give somebody the ability to dump a plasmoid on a border.

Hi,
is it impossible to use that space? Making the window title bar like it's a window of its own and then putting in it what you want?

as ivan said something like this has been done for plasma-netbook.
With plasma-desktop something similar is also possible.
Look at this blog: http://majewsky.wordpress.com/2010/03/24/the-kwin-button-applet/

I don't think so.
The panel is a list of the window's titles. with a good theme , the panel will appear like samhy's view.

Though, Samhy's view is bad , because it will lose the flexibility of the panel, like chrome os , you couldn't add more panels to the desktop. If you want the effect ,you can diy the settings in system settings and keep the flexibility of the panel.
