“Upon installation, KDE Plasma Netbook begins just like a
regular KDE session. One of the good things about it is that it
actually is a full KDE installation. The only essential difference
is that the Plasma shell is catered for the smaller screens of
netbooks.

“The panel sits at the top of the screen with three primary
sections: (1)Window Picker (2)Activity Bar and (3)System Tray. The

out to show any running applications. The activity bar switches
between plasma activities. By default there are two: applications
and newspaper. The system tray functions as it normally does in
KDE.”
