I absolutely hate this stupid floating rounded corners trend.
The whole point of corner/edge buttons is so that you can just jam your cursor in that direction and click without the need to carefully aim. KDE's choice to ship this as default for their taskbar was dumb af.
It gives the same vibe as the stupid freestanding baths trend in interior design, where the bathtub is disconnected from the wall, but also not far away enough for you to easily mop the gap properly.
I'm not sure whether i like the rounded corners on everything, but KDE implemented it properly. Clicking/scrolling while hovering the cursor over the panel gap will interact with the closest thing on the panel.
