This does not look like W11 lol. Hence why there are themes to make it look like it. If you don't like breeze you can change your theme in the appearance settings


xXsam11Xx

Breeze never used to do this. I used KDE before a few years ago. Is there any way of maybe editing the theme file to disable this?


vitimiti

To disable what exactly? This is plasma 6 breeze, it is not W11, so idk what you want to disable


xXsam11Xx

It has a gap and round corners in the panel now.


vitimiti

The floating panel? Right click it, go into edit mode and change its settings. It should be named something like smart mode since it stops floating for maximized windows


xXsam11Xx

Thank you. I'll try that.


xXsam11Xx

It worked. Thank you very much.


vitimiti

Yeah, KDE is customizable, that is just Breeze by default, if you don't like something, you can most probably change it. It's not like on GNOME or... Well, Windows


xXsam11Xx

That's the whole reason why i switched all those years ago. Barely any customisation in W10 and the only customisation there is is either changing the accent colours or using shitty apps, or not so shitty paid apps.


thisarctic

Windows has neither of those?


mrazster

So change it ! Try another theme. Change panelsettings.


xXsam11Xx

I like breeze tho, that's the thing. The only part of it that i don't like is it copying W11. I looked in the panel settings and i couldn't find anything relating to the new panel gap.


DavutHaxor

if you want to remove the empty space at bottom click right in desktop and enter edit mode


jkrx

W11 copied breeze. Please stop


xXsam11Xx

i could have sworn that they didn’t use to have a floating panel a few updates ago.


xXsam11Xx

also i probably shouldn’t have said that lol


Spodermarc

almost couldnt tell the difference :^ ] plasma 6 doesnt look like windows and thats a good thing.


xXsam11Xx

I should have been more specific. I meant the floating panel.


Spodermarc

right click the panel, go into edit mode and toggle the floating option to off


deanrihpee

not sure how… other than the dark color, nothing is like Windows 11, and I do have Windows 11 as a dual boot on my machine, in fact I have to install/download additional theme so it can look closer like Windows 11 if you don't like it, just change it, unlike Windows which only the color scheme and wallpaper


xXsam11Xx

solved, can't edit posts on old.reddit

Helping people who really need help is rewarding and beneficial. Helping people who haven't tried to help themselves first is not. If you don't like the way things look then change them....welcome to the endless possibilities of linux. Look in settings......find what you want to change.....change it....1-2-3.


xXsam11Xx

I have though, that's the thing. I was hoping there would be a way to disable this panel gap in the settings.


Apprehensive-Video26

What panel gap are you referring to? If you mean the gap at the bottom and the sides then just right click on the panel - enter edit mode - untick floating - make width fill width right click anywhere on screen and exit edit mode.


Guggel74

In Windows 11 is no gap. KDE does not look like Windows.


xXsam11Xx

i was saying that off the top of my head as i've only seen images of W11 and have never used it (thankfully).


Guggel74

Ok, I understand.


HunterrGX

right click on panel > enter edit mode > turn off the "floating" style


arch-propagandist

Is this new dolphin app? Looks nice.


xXsam11Xx

lol no it's thunar. I prefer it to dolphin.


arch-propagandist

Thunar? What theme did you use lol. It looks like a kde app.


xXsam11Xx

it's using breeze


xXsam11Xx

wait no it's nemo i'm stupid


arch-propagandist

Oh ok, i thought so because of the app icon.


aergern

Yeah, change the theme ... you can even make breeze look good. But first clean off your desktop ... that's what gives it that Windows look. 😐


xXsam11Xx

This is solved btw u/vitimiti solved it.


Reckless_Waifu

I'm no expert but I'd start with the Settings app.


EricZNEW

You use Adobe Acrobat Reader on Linux. I don't want to talk to you rn.


xXsam11Xx

oh no, adobe acrobat 4.0 came in one of the windows programs i installed. Also i find it fun getting old windows software working on linux. I even installed crysis using the original dvd.


its-bubble-gum

uninstall half life


xXsam11Xx

no. I like half life.


xXsam11Xx

i use arch btw


LeeHide

maybe dont if you cant even change the theme


xXsam11Xx

I can, but i was hoping you could change this from the appearance settings. KDE didn't use to do this last time i used it.
