Latte Dock, amazing piece of software very customizable.
With the possibility of creating both, a top panel and dock, with everything you need to work.
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
It is not new that many of us like the visual aspect of Windows 10, thinking about that I created this Layout, with a Top Panel and a Dock.
I hope you enjoy it!! };-]
First of all, you need to install Latte Dock and a few Widgets or Plasmoids, to make it work properly.

> Installing Latte Dock
Warning: The version needed for these layouts to work properly is the Git version of Latte Doc; This Git version brings extra functions that the normal version does not have, such as floating dock, rounded corners, the Sidebar Widget, etc ...
So in the normal versions of the repositories, non-Git version, these functions will have no effect and the Layout will not work correctly, for this reason it is necessary to install the Git version of Latte Dock.
After researching a few ways to make it easier for you to install the Git version of Latte Dock, I have found some ways, but not for all distros, for example: The Manjaro community has in its AUR repositories a packaged version of the version Git de Latte, in OpenSUSE I have found a package of the Git version of Latte, not so for KDE Neon or Kubuntu, I mean, yes, I have found a package version in ".deb" of the Git version of Latte in Launchpad. net, but it is necessary to install dependencies, which makes the compilation process the most recommended option for the installation of Latte Dock Git Version.
So I will leave instructions for installation in Manjaro KDE and OpensSUSE KDE, and for installation in Kubuntu and KDE Neon I will leave the link for the Latte Dock repository on GitHub where the compilation instructions are.

> Installation of Latte Dock Git Version in Manjaro
There are two ways to install the Git version of Latte Dock in Manjaro.
1. Doing a search on "Pamac"
Open "Pamac" and do a search for "latte dock git", the results will be two versions, one to install and another to compile, so, choose the version to install, since the compilation way takes a little more time, and it is the second form of installation.
2. Doing a Compilation.
There are two ways to compile install the Git version of Latte Dock.
2.1 Open "Pamac" and do a search for "latte dock git", in the results you will find the option "Build" that will compile the version automatically, which will save you from doing the whole process.
2.2 Go to the GitHub repository of Latte Dock and go to the file "INSTALATION.md" there you will find the necessary dependencies that you must install before starting the compilation process.

> Installation of the Latte Dock Version Git in OpenSUSE KDE.
I have found a packaged version in a ".rpm" file ready to install just by running a command.
Packaged Latte Dock Git Version for OpenSUSE
Installing ".rpm" files
sudo zypper install name-of-latte-package.rpm
On this page there is also the alternative of adding a repository and installing directly from this added repository, so you can choose what way to use to install Latte Dock git version.
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
> For installation on Kubuntu and KDE Neon
In these distros the best way to install Latte Dock is to follow the instructions for compilation and installation of the official Latte Dock repository on GitHub, so, go to the link at the bottom and inside the repository look for the file "INSTALLATION.md" and follow the dependency installation and build instructions.

> Importing Themes
To import the themes into Latte Dock you must run Latte Dock and then right click on any part of the Dock, then "Layouts" and "Manage Layouts", when the window opens look for "Import" click and Search where you have saved your downloaded theme file; now double click on the "In Menu" part, so you have access from the menu without opening the "Manage Layouts" window at any time, and that's all. Now you can enjoy any theme you like.
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
> To export and apply the "Tiled Menu" settings:
- 1 Open the configuration file you have downloaded and select and copy all the configurations I have provided (ctrl + A, ctrl + C)
- 2 Right Click on the Tiled Menu icon
- 3 Click on "Configure Tiled Menu"
- 4 When the configuration window appears look for "Import / Export Layout" and click
- 5 Once in the "Import / Export Layout" window, click inside and delete the default settings (ctrl + A, delete), then paste the settings you have copied (ctrl + V)
- 6 Click on "Apply" and then "OK".
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
> Widgets or Plasmoids NEDDED!!
For Windows 10 Layout to work properly, you need to install these Widgets.
So right click on Plasma desktop and go to "Add Widgets", then "Get New Widgets" and then "Dowload New Plasma Widgets" and search for the next Widgets:

Other than that, absolutely great work! Only issue I see is that the font is bolder than the real W10 font is.

I got so focused on changing the widget part that I completely forgot the top part, Thanks } :-)
And yes, I am not using Microsoft Segoe UI fonts, if I remember correctly, I am using San Francisco Fonts.
You have the option of voting if you like this theme, your vote would be highly appreciated. Thanks again. friend } :-)
