Thanks all for the good work. Although i don’t like the new status bar in Dolphin, hide too much useful information (zoom and available space).

I’m not a big fan of the removal/hiding of tools & like to have the zoom slider & space down there & a continuous footer bar. Dolphin in the screenshot looks a bit like a file viewer or a file picker for an application. It is great though that I can easily add buttons back on in the settings though.

No mention of new Dolphin icon ? :eyes:

I use a simple blue dolphin shape, similar to U+1f42c “:dolphin:”, and I love it. The standard folder icon in most themes are too generic; my intuition with them is that I’m opening a folder.

It’s a big job to collect everything each week and Carl’s been doing most of the work. You can help out by suggesting things to add in the matrix room: https://matrix.to/#/#this-week-kde-apps:kde.org

I guess you don’t emulate Wii or GameCube games…

No, but I don’t understand why you say so.

Thank you, that’s the icon I use. Distinctive at small sizes, good in dark mode, but still simple. Now I know where I got it.
