The bespin theme (available in portage) comes with the “xbar” plasmoid which will allow you to get the unified menubar. But I personally don’t like the idea of a unified menubar so I’m not using it :)

It’s not an app, it’s actually the “Saber Tiger” plasma theme available on kde-look. The reason the rest of the plasmoids look like they’re from the Air theme is because they are – I mixed the two together from “Desktop Theme Details”. The task manager in use is STasks. Square border instead of rectangle, and removed the glow. I don’t get the parabolic zoom nor the dynamically scaling panel but it’s OK.

Looks great! What app are you using as bar?

The only thing I miss is the unified menubar at the top of the screen.

When this post is viewed from the homepage and not as an individual item it displays in such a way that it turns the entire “post” into a link. People aren’t meant to see these comments either, but I haven’t gotten around to finishing off this script yet.

Too bad there’s no way to make that URL clickable!
