I really love(d) my Rainmeter Swissclock on Windows:
I know there is the fine attempt:
But, well, you see the difference…
More important than views Rainmeter letst you put stuff floating on top of everything, make it semitransperant and let it move it out of the way directly or with some mouse/key combination.
Is this something that the designers of Wayland did not think of or is there a similar thingy for Fedora 43 KDE - Plasma? (or should I vibe -code one?)
It’s not really a Wayland thing to solve - it’s something for an application to provide.
You could take a look at conky, eww or some of the KDE Widgets, which I assume is providing the clock in your second screenshot.
Exactly! and it sits there where it is the least useful for me: at the bottom behind the pile of windows I have open.
Cairo-Dock has all sorts of eye candy widgets like that.[1] I haven’t tried it in decades though and I have no idea if it works with KDE Plasma apparently it now works with KDE Plasma.[2]
It looks like there is a cairo-dock package available in the Fedora repos, but you should probably experiment with it on a spare computer if you want to try it.
That’s why I thought “eww” might be useful for you.
I will check that out. Thanks!
