~/.kde/share/kde4/services/


USE

-remove your panels
-right button on the desktop
-add panel
-add MAC panel for example


-FOR MAC STYLE YOU SHOULD CLOSE ALL APPLICATION AND REOPEN THEM TO SEE THE MENU BAR


-MAKE SURE YOU HAVE KDE 4.7.4 or higher IF YOU HAVE NOT YOU COULD HAVE PLASMA CRASH, IT DOESN\'T MATTER BECAUSE YOU CAN RE-ADD YOU PANELS BUT IT NOT SO NICE SEE AN APPLICATION CRASH


I WANT CREATE MY OWN PANELS HOW TOO FOR SMART ONE
