I was wondering what happened to the proposal from a month ago…

    I honestly don’t know about that.

    Can you maybe recommend something that is similar but might be still updated? I really like how KDE used to look back then but I missed out on it. The way most new desktops copy the flat look of Windows and Mac OS annoys me. I want the details back and like my window has sides and shadows.

      I agree a lot. Had Vista and XP machines in the past.

      Then mainly used Win10 and KDE Plasma was a solid upgrade.

      But they really copied the Win10 look which is atrocious. I agree that WinXP and 7 and the era where way better.

      There are themes for everything though. Its just theming. I dont know if all apps support it and have never dealt with it, as Breeze works pretty well with Adwaita and Electron apps too.

      I think there are Kvantum themes for this?

        Glad to read we are thinking alike about these things.

        I see there are some nice themes at the place you’ve linked. If those work with KDE Plasma, that would certainly be interesting to give a try.

        I’ll have a look at that.

          I looked but couldnt find it.

          Tbh I like some of the more modern things, and they are for sure easier to unify. When theming like that, you also need a GTK3 theme, a GTK4 color scheme, a firefox theme etc.

          And many of these toolkits dont support big themes anymore, just swapping colors.
