Yes it is. If you go into " System Settings > Colors & Themes " you can set up most of whats shown in the video.
I find the settings embed a bit clunky so i like to use this (https://store.kde.org/browse?cat=104)

To install additional Themes you can go into a category and in the top right of your settings there is a get new button pressing on that lets you download some user contributed styles.

On the desktop if you right click there will be an " Enter Edit Mode " once in Edit Mode you can Move around your panels (taskbar) and add or remove elements.
When it comes to console customization there is ghostly (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Dvv-LbYml0)

These are the basics with them you should be able to do most of the stuff in the video. Ricing Firefox is nothing i've done before.

Hope this helps

Whenever you run into issues regarding not being able to install packages from the AUR, you should really be looking at the AUR package page to see if the issue is documented.

In this case, both packages won't work for KDE6.

Don't create omnibus threads, open a new one for your conky problem and post your conky config and a description of the problem (what you want/get discrepancy) rather than a screenshot.

The please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
