I sawed this panel in half!
I've never seen anyone do this. It seemed like a good idea & it was. It's very nice. It's not very fancy besides the split bottom panel & the status bar on the left. I'm using Smart Video Wallpaper Reborn for the wallpaper & the Plasma style, application style, & window decorations are Oxygen. The audio visualizer on the right bottom panel is Panon. The comic is Freefall by Mark Stanley.
Sorry if I formatted this badly, I'm using Mastodon & I've never made a Lemmy post.

My Lemmy app (Voyager) shows the video, so at least some of us can see it.
@Deebster There are two pictures too. I know this is just one of those small differences between ActivityPub servers, but I thought there was some workaround I could do, I just forgot what it was.
Huh, so there is. I'm not 100% on how Voyager works - specifically I think (but don't know) that it's got the video because it's connected to the linked URL (your original post in this case) and pulled down data to make the link preview.
If that's right, it means Lemmy isn't handing the media at all.
+1 for Eternity. Video embedded correctly.
I have an ultrawide so I like splitting the panels WAY up. It's just so much wasted space, otherwise. Lumping it all together in the center makes it intrusive again, but pushing everything out to the side and along the bottom are the areas that are most out of focus but still at-a-glance.
The App Launcher is set to autohide. In order to get this to work, make sure you set the Visibility for the floating panels to "Windows go below", otherwise it stacks them out on separate rows and looks awful.
I also use multiple panels here and there. Not the most beautiful but it works for me
E: another link if first isn't working
Idk why my video doesn't show up where do you guys post videos to embed in comments?
Edit: Someone else can see the video?? How did i get upvotes if they can't see the video? Idk
I can see the first but not the second from Connect for Android.
I invite everyone that doesn't suck!
Nice, you have a lot going on there haha. How is the cpu usage?
Video plays fine in Boost btw.
@krimson It's usually at around 1% unless I do anything, then it might go to 4%. If I record a video with Spectacle it goes up to 11%, but with OBS it only goes to 6%. It only goes up to 75% when doing something very intensive like transcoding a video. I've never managed to get it to 100% & I think it thermal throttles before it can. It's a Ryzen 7700.
@krimson Actually it looks like it went to almost 40% when recording this video, which I did with Spectacle. Spectacle isn't very good at videos.
Well that's certainly interesting. Is there a particular usecase or reason you wanted a setup with a split pannel?
I've had the same issues with "cross-posting" to lemmy, not really sure why additional media doesn't show up properly 😅
@Cris_Color I usually tile windows to each half of the screen or each quarter of the screen, which either can't happen all the way if the bottom panel doesn't hide or hides the whole bottom panel if it does. This way I can still see the opposite half if one window is tiled on one half. It's also something weird that I've never heard of & I like unique interfaces, even if this one is still pretty close to a common interface.
Ahhhh, interesting, when using a pannel I never use autohide so I hadn't considered that
I also enjoy unique interfaces- thanks for sharing, it's a neat setup! 😊
@unixporn@lemmy.world @unixporn@lemmy.ml @unixporn@lemmy.sdf.org @unixporn@programming.dev I have absolutely no idea how to make my media attachments show up on Lemmy. I promise they are there. You may have to view the post from furry.engineer. If anyone knows how to fix this, please tell me.
Working fine in Arctic
Does not play in Jerboa or any of three different Firefoxes I have installed. 🤷♂️
@f4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4 View the original post on furry.engineer. I couldn't get the attachments to federate to any Lemmy servers properly.
is this the future ?
@Hadriscus The future is now.
How you got split bottom panel and that sidebar?? Plasma specific?
@checksout I missed this!
I got the split panel & side bar by just making two more panels. Plasma lets you add extra panels & put them on whichever side of the screen you want. For the two bottom panels I had to manually adjust their sizes so they would only fill the left half or the right half of the bottom. You can probably do this with other desktops that have panels or if you only have a window manager & a bar there's probably a way to duplicate that bar. I think I've seen similar things done with Waybar but I don't know if it's really two bars or if it's just visual. I'm only familiar with Plasma so I have no idea how to do this with anything else.
@unixporn@lemmy.world @unixporn@lemmy.ml @unixporn@lemmy.sdf.org @unixporn@programming.dev This is still a work in progress💔
I keep making very small changes. Panon now only goes through each color once & my terminal now has no window borders or a menu bar, it's just a sheet of glass. I wish I could make my terminal have rounded corners, but that seems like an every window or no window thing. I have also discovered Panel Colorizer & I might need to mess with it & see if I can make something cool out of it.
