Not even remotely accurate. Sure some might experience one or more issues, but three OS’s here with the beta including the QT6 and not one issue.
What exactly is the point you are trying to make here? I think I'm missing it

I don’t even know how to reply. You say that I am “not even remotely accurate”, but then “some might experience one or more issues”.
What is it then? I am “not even remotely accurate”, but I may be accurate for some?
If you update to the qt6 beta, qt6 apps will break. If you don’t have qt6 apps, then nothing breaks.

Well, that's clear then. 
You damn well know I was calling you on telling peeps that they WILL have problems with QT6. That is not true. If you have experience issues because of QT6 I feel for you, but do not tell peeps everyone will have a problem with it.
I think what he is referring to is that currently, updating qt6 from kde-unstable repos will result in a lot of broken applications. Qt6 itself will of course not cause any issues by existing alone.

what @dr460nf1r3 said.
on kde-unstable, currently there is qt6 6.5.0beta1. updating to this, will break apps compiled for qt6 6.4.x

Ok I think things have been clarified about qt6 and Latte-Dock running Icons-Only Task Manager. Thanks.
Back on Plasma Panel improvements, for those who read the whole thread, first of all you are awesome! loll Cuz it's a long one. Secondly, you are aware of the launcher-hover feature.
This feature is not showcased (yet) in garuda-dr460nized-next package.
However I am working on something (using the git packages, which should also work using 5.26.90). I believe Garuda has a window of opportunity here to stand out as a pioneer (yet again).
That feature was added very quickly by the KDE developer and as far as I could search I did not see it documented somewhere other than the KDE bug report I opened, which was a wish list anyway but he did it right away. 462253 – Icons-Only Task Manager "glow icons on mouse hover for closed applications" alternatives
The KDE developer documentation does not show the launcher-hover element yet:
tasks.svg
- /tasks.svg: task item backgrounds for tasks. See the section on backgrounds above for information on the required elements in this file. The following element prefixes are required:
-
focus: background of focused task item -
hover: background when the pointer hovers the task item. Focus and hover can have ticker borders that will be painted outside the task button, useful to make a glow effect. -
attention: background when tasks item is trying to get attention -
normal: background of normal, unfocused task item -
minimized: background for minimized tasks - All the frames can be prefixed with
north-,west-,south-oreast-if the taskbar should have a different look at the 4 sides of the screen - The svg should contain elements of all five prefixes, if a prefix is missing that element will be not be drawn.
-
panel-north,panel-south,panel-west,panel-east: elements for the panel toolbox.
I was thinking "what if Dr460nized releases after 5.27 in order to include an implementation of its own, wrt (with regards to) launcher-hover?"
Hopefully and probably the only distro in the World to use it at first. 
I have designed a couple of launcher-hovers inline with Sweet Plasma Theme (now called Dr460nized as a fork from the garuda-dr460nized-next package).
Of course I am opened to suggestions or small fixes based on the above frames but I will not design 100s of quite different options and see which one is best. Let's stay simple.
Maybe I could start a poll on which above option seems best?
And most of all, I certainly want the opinion of the boss, here (dragonfire).

I like the bottom one the most. It looks awesome! Is there any possibility to make the highlight shape round, instead of square?
5 Likes
Yes there’s just something interesting about this one!
The 3rd one from top is the most consistent with Sweet theme, though, but stands out less! More conservative.
And just so everyone knows, I used color codes from the Sweet palette, I did not use something different.
Of course! But it diverges from the Sweet theme… Sweet uses square corners everywhere: view items, hover, lists, menus, etc.
So we would lose consistency.

I like that Idea. Would be a great first OS on a new 1 tb M.2 I got for Xmas.

Have to agree on this, the bottom one here.

Curious how the purple one looks while hovering over purple icons like Snapper Tools and System Settings. In your opinion, how is the contrast? I rather like that color of highlight, so I'm hoping it doesn't blend too much in.
There’s almost always a trade-off of some sort, cuz Beautyline icons have a lot of colorful colors, whatever the color chosen for the effects happening in the dock will not be 100% perfect on all.
The key is to play with opacity setting in the SVG.
In the above 2 shots, I have NOT changed the opacity value so we can compare apples with apples with the 4 shots in my other post.
Also the 2nd trick is to use a different color for the contour, the borders of the hover effect, so that it always stands out somehow no matter the icon color. But that depends if it fits well with the theme too.
Contrast seems best overall with the purple effect, I believe.

Looks pretty good for not even tinkering with the opacity values yet. I think I will have to agree that the purple is the best looking thus far to fit the theme and yet still stand out.

I do not understand anything of what is described here.
But, to be the first to bring something out requires that, in addition to the necessary know-how, no one knows about the project.
But that’s beside the point, in the FOSS system, the important thing is to be the first to have had the idea.
In the commercial field, it would be different.

Hello everyone,
I have changed to dr460nized-next and its cool. I know it does not offer much as compared to latte-dock but its not bad either.
I have only enabled the bottom panel as floating panel and it looks good.
Thanks @dr460nf1r3 for the customization.

The purple one certainly looks best! Though I’d rather make the shape more rounded than it is on the screenshot

The "Active Window Control" widget can replace "Window Buttons" fine with the correct settings. I have a totally different theme so window buttons (on top left) look awkward compared to the rest but should be fine w/ Dragonized.

That setting left the space blank for me with kde-git packages. Only the standard buttons could be used.
But I will try again this week.
Ok now that I am thinking about it, I can certainly round them off just a little so that it does not diverge too much from Sweet theme.
It seems the purple wins by far, I will tweak it a little and come back with a few opacity options.
