Plasma 6 Bugs

If you encounter a bug, proceed to https://bugs.kde.org/, check whether it has been reported.

If it hasn't, report it yourself.

PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.

Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

I agree with @[email protected] a lot here.

I think a color scheme solves a lot, but the color gradients etc. are still gone.

What is your favourite non-white light theme, best for Plasma 6?

Please add a screenshot!

This was the peak of light themes. Nothing is pure white except the parts with lots of text that needs to be very clear.

Agreed. Anyone got a KDE screenshot from that era?

I have to say I like this one

Dolphin

Early KDE design was so weird, like transparency and Windows 95-ish rest? For sure!

kde can still look like that too:

kde oxygen theme, plasma 5.27

i really hope oxygen does get ported to plasma 6, and not dropped like the air theme has been


i must say though, as much as i prefer the look of light themes usually, i think dark themes are objectively[^1] better unless you're in bright sunlight: images and video aren't affected by themes, so dark themes put the focus on the media, whereas light themes can wash them out

(current theme setup)

[^1]: this is conjecture, i haven't done any studies
