Therefore, each Dock, Panel, Sidebar and each widget, are placed and tested to be intuitive and useful while still having a cyberpunk, modern and simple appearance.

> Description of use.
Upper Section.
At the top are three docks, left, center and right.
In the right Dock there is an application menu, an application title widget and the global menu.
Running applications are located in the central Dock.
In the right Dock are the system tray icons.
Bottom section.
At the bottom there are three other Docs, distributed in the same way as the Upper Docks.
The left Dock contains only shortcuts for pinned applications.
The Central Dock contains the audio spectrum analyzer, "Panon", and two sidebar launchers.
The Right Dock contains the "Netspeed Widget", clock with date and the "User Switcher" widget.
Side Bars.
The sidebars are two, of course, the left sidebar contains all the information about CPU and Memory usage.

> 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

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.

> Widgets or Plasmoids NEDDED!!
You need to install these Widgets to the Neonwave Layout work perfectly.
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:
- Simple Menu
- Application Title
- Netspeed Widget
- Better Inline Clock
- Latte Spacer
- Latte SideBar
- Panon
- Dash to Panel Indicator
- Media Controler Plus
These are the external widgets that are needed, the others are already by default in KDE Plasma.

Well, regarding what you mention, I have been doing the tests and rebuilding the layout and there is nothing wrong with the Panon Widget, maybe you have forgotten to install the dependencies that the widget needs. In the KDE Store, in the Widget description, the widget creator says which dependencies are needed for Panon to work perfectly, I have installed everything necessary and everything has worked perfectly, I have done tests on Arch Linux, Manjaro, KDE Neon, Kubuntu and POP_OS KDE version and everything works fine; remember that you should always update all widgets and their dependencies.
And it is not necessary to resort to TimeShift, all you need is, when you are in the login screen, press "CTRL + ALT + F1", this leads you to obtain a shell, you log in and then navigate through the directories to the path: "~ / .config / latte /", then you delete the cyberpunk Layout and reboot the system with "sudo reboot" and that's it, you don't need to use TimeShift to go back to a recovery point and lose the changes you made after the recovery point with TimeShift, after deleting the Layout you can log in again and Latte, not finding the Layout of the configuration, shows the Layout by default.
Either way, the Layout is up to date and tested on various distros and works very well, thank you for your comment };-]

at first: i love your theme.
But since i updated from Plasma 5.19.5 to 5.20. i have a weird problem. Latte Dock crashes for some reason. i tested it with a few other themes with similar fuctions and they work flawlessly. So i try to ask you if may you or someone else may find a way to make it work again. OS is Manjaro with KDE Plasma 5.20.
If i start Latte-Dock in the terminal and change the layout to yours i get the following output in the terminal:
KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/bin/latte-dock
KCrash: crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2
KCrash: Application Name = latte-dock path = /usr/bin pid = 7761
KCrash: Arguments: /usr/bin/latte-dock
Icon theme "ubuntu-mono" not found.
Icon theme "Mint-X" not found.
Icon theme "elementary" not found.

Well, lately I have been working on some things for Gnome and forgot to turn on and update my machine with Manjaro KDE, by the way, thanks for the news that the update to KDE 5.20 is ready}; -] so I will check the error you report to fix them and update the Layout soon.
Thanks again for your vote, friend };-]

Regarding the wallpapers, I will try to find them again, since I had a small problem with a data disk of one of my machines and I have lost some files.
And yes, the rounded corners used to depend on the global KDE theme, but recently Latte Dock has added the rounded corners feature and now you can set the level of roundness from within Latte.
And I am sorry for the delay in replying.
