D18419: Adjust some KCMs to implement new Appearance section layout

davidedmundson resigned from this revision. davidedmundson added a comment. My opinion on top-down "lets shuffle things" remains the same. However, I am happy to approve iterative changes. I can see how this is a prerequisite to renaming "Workspace Theme" which seems to make sense, given

GB_2 added a comment. Should we really wait until those are merged and not have the new layout in Plasma 5.16? Merging these will take quite some time and I don't see how it would make a difference layout-wise. REPOSITORY R119 Plasma Desktop REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D

GB_2 added a comment. I think we should really move the LnF KCM to the top level now since it affects everything. Doing that is safe IMO. REPOSITORY R119 Plasma Desktop REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D18419 To: ngraham, #vdg, #plasma, davidedmundson Cc: GB_2, abetts, davide

ngraham added a comment. Thanks @abetts, I appreciate the support, but I feel like it should not be for the reason that "the wave is to reorganize right now". This has nothing to to with popularity or momentum; it's because the reasons previously given for waiting wait are not valid. We cann

davidedmundson added a comment. To clarify one thing, I didn't say "porting". The original task was to go through all of them unifying them, rethinking design and following Fabian's new HIG as well as making sure all options are in the right place, etc.. I personally don't particularly care

D18419: Adjust some KCMs to implement new Appearance section layout

abetts added a comment. I am not opposed to a reorg as long as it doesn't touch the KCMs, but be aware that you "might" have to reorg again as we port KCMs. So, do you prefer to do it, potentially twice, or just once? REPOSITORY R119 Plasma Desktop REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kd

ngraham added a comment. That's true, and we discussed this a lot in the VDG channel. The problem is that such a condition will in practice result in delaying this re-ogranization practically indefinitely. https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/plasma_kcm_redesign/ lists 42 KCMs that require p
