Thinking about adding a “Windows 11” layout to budgie-extras - themes & layouts. Probably just call the layout “Eleven”

Would like someone to have a go producing that layout - screenshot needed using one of the two default “purple” wallpapers showing the layout in action

e.g. “the one” layout

Once the layout is done - just create a screenshot of the budgie-desktop-settings panel applets list so that info can be converted into a budgie.layout file.

TIA

What I see above looks more like Unity than Win 11. Is that the example?

That’s an example of the kind of screenshot that is needed I.e. use the existing applets, rework the layout to whatever windows 11 looks like and then take a screenshot.

Ok, the screen-shot above is windows 11 as in the current release.It will come with menu centered by default, but the bottom left is optional.

My attempt with default themes and Icons. 😀  
Icon task-list, centered menu, and some applets. Could maybe do better with a third party theme.

Is the start menu really on the right of the icon list?

Showtime isn’t in that window 11 screenshot.

I can’t really tell from the win 11 screenshot if the logout button is in the system tray

Attached is the system tray layout. I was closer on my second attempt , but had include notifications and raven. One could just enable the power strip in the menu which is not right but left of center icons on Win 11. I just forgot to remove show time for my experiment.
