   	Sd if you have a KDE Plasma 5 full install you should be able to create   
   new task panels to the left or right side of the display & at the top   
   and the bottom.  I use a process of addition and subtraction.   
   I add a panel at the top of the screen for the most used programs, main   
   menu, the icons only task manager, the System tray and Digital clock.   
   Then I add an empty panel to the right side of the display and it has my   
   phases of the moon display, my battery charge indicator, my calculator   
   handy for simple operations, my icon for the Console, 4 accessible   
   virtual desktops with number only, two games and the icons for lock,   
   shut down, reboot, and logout.  Once the new default panel is on top   
   and the Empty panel to my right I can remove the bottom panel.   
   I am working on notebooks and laptops so I appreciate the flexibility   
   of KDE's Plasma 5.  As it was from 3.9.x forward.   
      
   	I have it this way to resemble my Amiga OS Workbench, which I got used   
   to using long before Amiga(actually Commodore Business Machines) went   
   bankrupt so that the financier who stole it from Jack Tramiel could get   
   all his money back ASAP.  If you come to the forum (see below) I can   
   show you pictures of it.
