I'm joining the discussion because for me missing of those features is a big
step back.
Most of themes that are said to be transparent add it only slightly and for me
they are no go. Only ones available for TRUE transparency were Diamond and
Polished Stones, however they're were elements in them that weren't working
well for me:
- diamond adds white border to windows manager in desktop panel and the whole
look is not flat and obsolete,
- polished stones adds ugly, green icons and fonts on panel bar
- both use kubuntu icon kickstarter while I use manjaro and prefer to have
manjaro icon (far better looking)
The removed feature allowed me to mix manjaro's default flat them Maia with
diamond's elements to create exactly the flat, glassy, modern look I want and
LOVE!
Now the feature is gone and in the future if I wanted to change the look I
would be stuck with different/ugly/unfitting kickstarter (most themes use
default - kubuntu's one) and lot of other effects I dislike.
Sure, the feature of advanced theme mixing was a bit buggy but with some
experimentation one was able to achieve desired effect that works well.
Why not just give a little love to that feature rather then removing it? It was
very useful! This was one of the biggest features I loved about kde, I could
customize it in the inside (how it works) and outside (how it looks). Now it's
like the half of it was gone. My feeling is, we're going in the direction of
gnome. What is the point of KDE existing if not being extremely customable and
a complete opposite to gnome philosophy? People love KDE for it and now KDE
seems to loose its identity. I'm sad because of that.
I still hope that once devs figure out how to make this mixing theme feature
work, it will come back. Maybe not it the same version but still. Customizing
desktop look to such a degree EASILY that no other DE was able to, made KDE to
stand out, but now it became just average. A huge loos :(.
