It animates its contents by using parabolic zoom effect and trys to be there only when it is needed. 'Art in Coffee' Screenshots. Installation Requirements. We recommend to use at least: Plasma = 5.15.0 Qt = 5.12. While this dock is nice for OS X users coming to Linux, if you're coming from the Windows world, you have to try out the Icon-only taskbar.

Animation
Here's an GIF showing Latte Dock in action! I take this on my Kubuntu 17.10 'Artful Aardvark' Beta 1 using Peek Recorder.
Overview
The bottom panel is Latte Dock in this picture. Some of its main features:
- Compatible with Plasma Desktop & the widgets
- Autohide
- Parabola-like animation while hovering
- Movable to any of 4-edges of screen
- Custom layouts (including Unity style), user can save their own
- Highly configurable & easy to understand
- Modern look with translucency ala Plasma
Unity Layout
Latte has a Unity layout! This reminds me to MATE 1.18 on Artful MATE. It puts a thin panel on top with a thick vertical panel of left edge of screen. This is potential for you distro developers if you want to make Unity-like interface for your Plasma distro.
The Four Positionings
Latte can be positioned on all four screen edges. And you can have two docks or more on different edges simultaneously.
Adding Plasma Widget!
Yes, you can put any Plasma widget on Latte! This is a new feature you wouldn't had in AWN dock because Latte is developed using the same KDE Framework as Plasma. For example, here's system tray widget I put on my Latte.
The Settings
The configuration window is reachable via right-click > Latte Settings. Many things on Latte you can adjust to your needs:
- Location
- Alignment
- Delay
- Change & save new layout
- Enabling tooltip & preview popup
- . and many more!
By default, it shows only basic settings. If you enable Advanced Mode toggle on top it shows more settings and plus a hidden 'Tweak' tab! Personally, what is amusing and I like about this small window is its translucent appearance. A really kool job by audoban & psifidotos!
About Latte Dock

Edited April 2019: As now Latte is under KDE Project umbrella, you can donate to Latte Development via KDE Donations instead (previously via Pledgie, now inactive).
We can make Plasma desktop to look like macOS. This tutorial uses Mojave-CT Theme Pack (including Aurorae, Plasma, Kvantum, and icon themes) as the I explain here the requirements and step by step instructions to configure everything. It is surprisingly easy, the steps are very clear, but it takes a bit long time to finish them all.

A. Install Kvantum Engine
What you will do is to install Kvantum Manager program. It is a simple GUI to control many aspects of Qt toolkits.
First, install all required packages:
Second, download the Kvantum package (.zip) from Tsujan's GitHub and extract it to your Downloads directory. You will get a new directory name Kvantum-master.
Third, enter the Kvantum-master directory and perform all these command lines one by one:
Final messages showing if you successfully installed it are two lines:
Finally, go to start menu and find Kvantum Manager.
B. Install 'Applet Window Button' Widget
The 'AWB' is needed to show control buttons on top panel when a window is maximized. Download AWB at https://store.kde.org/p/1272871/ and extract it and you get a directory named applet-window-buttons-0.3. You will find in it a file named install.sh but don't touch it before doing these.
First, install all required packages:
Second, enter the extracted directory and do all commands below one by one:
If everything is OK, the last success messages will be:
Finally, you will find the widget named 'Window Buttons' on your widget selector.
1. Add Global menu, top panel
Create one top panel as Application Menu Panel. This will give you basic global menu panel.
Add System Tray widget onto it.
Add Digital Clock widget as well.
Add Find widget on the most right.
2. Add dock, bottom panel
Delete default bottom panel and create a new one, shorter in length, centered in position. Put some application icons + add Icons-Only Task Manager widget.
3. Get rid of all obstacles
First obstacle is the hamburger button thing on one of corners. Its name is desktop toolbox. Hide it. Right-click on desktop > Configure Desktop > Tweaks > uncheck desktop toolbox option > OK.
Second obstacle is the hot corner, when you push your pointer to an edge of screen suddenly all active windows got previewed in one screen. Disable it. Go to System Settings > Desktop Behavior > Screen Edges > click the enabled corner > select No Action > OK.
4. Desktop theme ('Plasma Theme')
Next, we need a Plasma Theme called 'Mojave CT Plasma Theme'. Download it from https://store.kde.org/p/1289021, and open it by clicking 'Install From File' button from System Settings > Workspace Theme > Plasma Theme. Enable it by selecting Mojave-CT and click OK.
5. Window decoration ('Aurorae Theme')
Next, we need window decoration theme called Mojave-CT Aurorae Theme. Download it from https://store.kde.org/p/1288318. This window decoration theme is classified as 'Aurorae Theme' as it uses Aurorae engine built-in KDE Plasma. Extract the .tar.gz file, and copy the folder into ~/.local/share/aurorae/themes/. Enable Mojave CT from System Settings > Application Style > Window Decorations.
Set the size to Normal.
6. Icon theme
Next, we mostly need icon theme that looks like macOS. As we use macOS Mojave version as model here, then download the Mojave-CT Icon Theme from here https://store.kde.org/p/1210856/. Extract the .tar.gz file, and copy the folder into ~/.local/share/icons/. Enable MacOs-sierra-CT from System Settings > Icons.
7. Kvantum Theme ('Widget Style Theme')
This is the most crucial part: we need to enable Mojave-CT Kvantum Theme to make all user interface toolkits look like macOS and translucent. The theme in question is Mojave-CT Kvantum Theme, download it from https://store.kde.org/p/1288051. Extract it, and you get a directory named mojave.
First, go to start menu > run Kvantum Manager > install theme > point it up to the extracted mojave directory > OK.
Second, still on Kvantum Manager, see Change Theme > select a theme > select mojave > select again
Macos Dock For Kde Plasma 2
MojaveLight > click use this theme.Third, still on Kvantum Manager, see Configure Active Theme > see Compositing . > and give about 30% and 30% for both Reduce window/menu opacity > Save. Close Kvantum Manager window.
Fourth, now go to System Settings > Application Style > Widget Style > set Widget style: to be kvantum and Apply.
Fifth, still on the Widget Style window, see Fine Tuning > set all options to No Text > Apply.
Up to this point, you should see your window being translucent like this:
8. macOS wallpaper
You can download many wallpapers from sources like 512pixels or OSwallpapers. Load the wallpaper from right-click on desktop > Configure Desktop > Add Image > select a wallpaper file or more > enable it. You see below as example I enabled Mac OS X Leopard version wallpaper.
9. Control Buttons on Left
Fortunately, Plasma is a very customizable desktop. Go to System Settings > Application Style > Windows Decorations > Buttons. There, you can easily rearrange your window outer frame components arrangement, including, position of the control buttons (close, maximize, minimize). Simply drag-and-drop them from right to the left position. Drag other icons to bottom to hide them.
10. Window Title Applet, Top Panel
Next, we need to show app name on global menu. To achieve this, we need Window Title Applet. Open the widget selection menu > find Window Title Applet > drag and drop it onto top panel. Try to run Dolphin and see if its app name 'Dolphin' looks right before the global menu. Try to run Gwenview or other applications to see whether the same app name shows correctly. I found good configuration like below:
- - Icon: checked, show when available
- - Font: bold
- - Length: unchecked, fill available space
- - Maximum: more or less 1000px
- - Spacing: 10px
- - Left & right margin: 10px
Kde Plasma Dock
Don't forget to add Spacer after the global menu widget so it won't 'run' too far away from Window Title Applet.Bonus! Alternatively, if you don't like this widget, you can use instead Application Title widget. It's without app icon and somewhat simpler.
11. Window Buttons Applet, Top Panel
Up to this point, when you maximize a window, the controls are still on the window's title bar and not joined onto top panel's global menu. It takes up more vertical space.
To join controls onto global menu, you add Window Buttons Applet onto it. I found good configuration like below:
- Decoration: Mojave-CT
- Show: is maximized
- Environment: checked, Disable borders.
- Metrics: checked, Use from decoration.
- Left margin: please test it up yourself
After setting it up right away, you need to re-login to see the correct result.
12. Finish It All
You may need some trials and errors up to this point so finally you can have desktop in full Mojave-CT style. Notice the icons on the toolbar now are 'icons-only' and not with text.
