On Ubuntu 19.04 how do I make Ubuntu Dock show the labels of running programs like Windows does in the taskbar? Also not to group them with dots but separate labels (again as Windows does).
I am using KDE Plasma, Currently the taskbar panel is looking like Windows. Can we make it transparent ? If Yes, How ?
Is there any way to move Plasma Taskbar to the top of the screen? Currently it is at the bottom which makes it look like Windows.
I am having an issue with kde 5.9, task bar is not showing anymore. Desktop wallpaper is black. I can still open application with CTrl+F2. I tried few commands and get this:
Any idea on how to show task bar again ?
Thank in advanced

I am developing a module with Python, and I would like to figure out a way to get the monitor resolution minus the taskbar without any user interaction and preferably in a way that doesn't interfere with the visual interface. If I can just get the taskbar size and position, I can simply subtract it from the monitor resolution easily. However, I cannot seem to find a way.
In Windows, I am able to use the win32api module and use GetMonitorInfo to get the monitor resolution. However, I have yet to figure out some way to do this in Ubuntu, or Linux in general. If you also have a way to do this in macOS, that would be nice to know as well, but is not necessary for this question.
I would like to support as many desktop environments as possible, but I realize how difficult it would be to do so, since each one may have their own solution. Considering this, I would prefer to start with these desktop environments:
- KDE
- XFCE
- Gnome
- Cinnamon
If this requires some external programs to get it, I would prefer to use something that comes with the desktop environment or operating system.
