Hi all, I was just looking at the Desktop Theme Details KCM (System Settings → Workspace Design → Details) and figured it's of not much use anymore. Imho the way the interaction with it worked wasn't particularly good to begin with, suddenly creating a "(Custom)" theme when you edited another one, but the one you selected in the list above isn't neccessarily the theme you're using, etc.
So, let's look at the options it offers: * Color Scheme: Kinda works but given it also influences the background contrast, conflicts with the dialog/panel backgrounds * Panel background: Doesn't always work (panel stays the same somtimes) * Kickoff: No effect? What should it change anyway, it's up to the applet (it changes dialogs/kickoff, if that is even used anymore..) * Task items: Completely screws up the task manager if I touch that * Widget background: Seems okay * Translucent background: also okay * Dialog background: doesn't do anything * Analog Clock: works, seems kinda valid usecase; though all other DEs I've seen just provide that in the clock itself * Sticky Notes: Dunno, should work, but then I haven't seen a theme with different sticky notes - we still use the Oxygen ones even now :) One thing I would like to see is a default color for the notes, so a dark theme can have black notes by default * Tooltip: doesn't do anything * Pager: seems to work * Run dialog: Given KRunner is a regular dialog nowadays doesn't do anything * Logout dialog: Provided by LNF theme anyway * Icons: Kinda works, mostly seems to affect only system tray, as most icons are provided by the overall icon theme What should we do with this thing? PS: Air and even more Oxygen Plasma theme are pretty broken, we should either fix them (especially task manager, potentially revert the follow theme color stuff to provide a more 4.x-esque look) or kill them. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
