KDE

[Reposted because I got the title wrong]

So as the title explains, while this theme may be visually similar to others, it completely changes colours to match your user accent colour (I also have versions for text colour and solid colours because I could).

I wanted a theme where I could see my colours everywhere, so I made one. (Other reasons too, but this is the most important).

I’ve also made a bunch of playful little changes to help with accessibility like reworking the settings icons.

All icons are SVG files, single layer (a few exceptions), and have been simplified to load faster.

I hope you all enjoy it.

I will be regularly updating it to add more app icons and new actions/ icons as they show up in updates.

Do you use a drawing tablet with Linux? You can share your device info in two easy steps - no coding skills required! 💙

Just updated to Plasma 6.4.1 from 6.3.5 (or .4? I forget) on Arch and all of my custom keyboard shortcuts for the Wayland session got reset. Was this an Arch thing or did the maintainers decide it was a good idea to reset custom shortcuts for the new point release? Is there any way to prevent that from happening in the future?

So I recently redid a full system icon pack based on/ using the open source material design icons from google. I wanted to have an icon pack that could completely adapt my whole system to any colour I wanted, and ended up having to make my own.

I shared this recently here.

I’m releasing it very soon, and would love some ideas or tips I should consider in the last moments before I submit the finished first release?

So far I know I need many more app icons, but other than that would love some ideas/ tips. Thanks.

(I’d love a list of app names I need to name the app icons to so they automatically apply.)

Recently I have noticed that if I open some 'Get more global themes' the window that loads only a finite number of matches. If I want to check other options, I have to know and type its name.

Previously I could just scroll down.

Is this just me or works as intended?

So for the better part of the month I’ve been nose glued to my laptab working a custom icon set. It started as just some custom folders… but ended up becoming me redoing the entire breeze theme. I’m talking thousands of icons.

I based the theme on the google material design as I haven’t seen a proper full system theming for that, and for accessibility reasons alone I think it needs to exist… but I mainly wanted to do it like that so I can have EVERYTHING change with the system accent colour.

So after likely over a hundred (hundreds of?) hours, I’m reaching the finish line.

Anyway for selfish and selfless reasons I want to be able to have my theme reach as many people as possible. Some people in my life have suggested I contact some Linux news sites, but that feels a bit much, I don’t know. Any ideas?

Oh yah it’s free of course.

"This week in Plasma" brings the news that Discover's list views can now be navigated with the keyboard, and that we met another accessibility standard by improving the readability of graph axis labels, as well as of selected items in KRunner and Discover, among many other things.

Is Bazzite on Plasma 6.4 already?

I have a strange bug on my Steam Deck with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and I would like to know if it happens on other handhelds/distributions as well.

In Plasma Wayland 6.4 fullscreen windows shift up about half a screen when using gamepad input. They become normal again when I use mouse input. Happens with games as well as in VLC.

Edit: Can't take a screenshot of it, so here's a photo:

This kept me awake last night thinking about it.

Plasma Mobile News📳!

@NGIZero Core is funding work on the power management stack; the task switcher gets gestures back; the lockscreen and notifications were redesigned; KDE's very own convergent web browser, Angelfish, has been overhauled and now supports gestures; and look forward to improvements to Discover, Clock, Dialer and more.

The KDE community today announced the latest release: Plasma 6.4. This fresh new release improves on nearly every front, with progress being made in accessibility, color rendering, tablet support, window management, and more.

Plasma already offered virtual desktops and customizable tiles to help organize your windows and activities, and now it lets you choose a different configuration of tiles on each virtual desktop. The Wayland session brings some new accessibility features: you can now move the pointer using your keyboard’s number pad keys, or use a three-finger touchpad pinch gesture to zoom in or out. Plasma file transfer notification now shows a speed graph, giving you a more visual idea of how fast the transfer is going, and how long it will take to complete. When any applications are in full screen mode Plasma will now enter Do Not Disturb mode and only show urgent notifications, and when you exit full screen mode, you’ll see a summary of any notifications you missed. Now when an application tries to access the microphone and finds it muted, a notification will pop up. A new feature in the Application Launcher widget will place a green New! tag next to newly installed apps, so you can easily find where something you just installed lives in the menu. The Display and Monitor page in System Settings comes with a brand new HDR calibration wizard, and support for Extended Dynamic Range (a different kind of HDR) and P010 video color format has been added. System Monitor now supports usage monitoring for AMD and Intel graphic cards, it can even show the GPU usage on a per-process basis. Spectacle, the built-in app for taking screenshots and screen recordings, has much improved design and more streamlined functionality. The background of the desktop or window now darkens when an authentication dialog shows up, helping you locate and focus on the window asking for your password. There’s a brand-new Animations page in System Settings that groups all the settings for purely visual animated effects into one place, making it easier to find and configure them. Aurorae is a newly added SVG vector graphics theme engine for KWin window decorations.

You can read more about these and many other other features in the Plasma 6.4 anounncement and complete changelog.

I really shouldn't be astonished, but I am 😵.

This is, of course, utter abuse of user data, but what's even worse is that Google allows this.

#Conversations was taken off Google Play, and forced to remove its contacts linking feature for #privacy reasons, despite the fact that no contact data was ever uploaded to any servers, yet #Citymapper is allowed to share highly sensitive precise location data with third parties for the sake of #profit?!

🤬 Goodbye Citymapper!!

Thankfully we're not exactly short of #opensource alternatives: I love how #Öffi displays the timetables, but we also have #Transportr and KDE's #KTrip (which not only works on Android but also on #mobilelinux).

"This Week in Plasma" brings the news that Plasma 6.5.0 will _probably_ have picture-in-picture support under Wayland, that you will be able to re-order your virtual desktops, and that Spectacle will clearly tell you how to stop a screen recording (among many other things).
