  Yes, apparently there is. See https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/10/diffs
  
  And on that subject, it seems like doing this for ultra-widescreen displays would have some benefit since there a horizontal panel is sort of absurd because it's like 90% empty space most of the time, and the things you want to click on are waaaaaay far away in the corners. See also T13156 <https://phabricator.kde.org/T13156>.
  
  However I still think this makes sense as the default for everything. It's notably better for certain use cases (touchscreen, ultra widescreen display) and IMO no worse for others.
