A well deserved one!!!

From your blogpost you really shown it must have been kind of a crazy crusade!!!

But keep the eye on the gold!!! Once everything (plasma shell, gnome shell, and whatever more is on holding) is themeable from Union it will be amazing!!!

And you’ve been the captain on that ship!!! :grinning_face: The Indiana Jones of that adventure (well… of that 5th-olligy of adventures… or what ever they’re calling it these days :rofl:)

Great work!!!

The showConfigurationInterface() function now works in Plasma scripting. (Remilia S., plasma-workspace MR #6977)

Did not know that Ms. Scarlet contributes to open-source in addition to being a vampire lady in Gensokyo. Keep up the good work, queen :crown:

Heh, just one of the captains. Arjen has worked a lot on the core and QtQuick side. Then multiple helpers, testers.. It’s a group effort! :slight_smile:
