  It doesn't auto-hide by default in macOS. I decided to make it span the full width of the screen because not doing this is IMO one of the dumbest parts of that macOS dock, because it pointlessly  wastes the bottom-left-most and bottom-right-most pixels, which are two of the four easiest to click pixels in the whole screen.

If Cupertino global theme switched to a light version of https://store.kde.org/p/1252328/, that would be, well, //extraordinary//. In such case, I'd also consider the addition of a Fluent theme. Still, I can see why this would be much harder.
  
  No, I explicitly did not want to do this with these themes. The idea is to mimic only the functionality of the targeted platforms, not their visual styles. There are already dozens of theme packages on https://store.kde.org that try to mimic the entire look-and-feel of macOS, Windows, Unity, GNOME, etc. We don't need more of those IMO. :)
