This Week in Plasma: Vietnamese lunar calendar and rounder highlights - KDE Blogs

Welcome to a new issue of This Week in Plasma!

This week, in addition to the typical post-Plasma-release bug-fix spree, folks started working on UI improvements and features. Two notable examples are highlighted in the title, and found below:

Thank you for all your work on this!!!

May I bring some attention to this:

???

My point on bringing this issue under the lights is that it is useful for the migration to Linux on this “windows 10 ending” mess…

We can’t support everyone all the time, so being able to set the system to performing updates unattended is time saving for those who install it (as most end users don’t actually know much about babysitting an operating system) and the actual users are used to windows doing it automatically…

Please… can someone take a look at this??? :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you

Not sure I’m sold on this… Rounded selection looks great in kickoff but for sidebars IMHO whole-row looked better :face_with_peeking_eye:

Btw. in the linked issue there was a comment of lack of feedback what has focus… because everything is now “webbased” and terrible… and imho what Windows did with dashed lines were great and came a log way when it comes to keyboard navigation

I wrote a blogpost about the changes: Breeze QtWidgets style changes to help us prepare for Union

These changes will help Union and make sure that anyone using Union styling engine to make all corners sharp will actually work!

This is how it’s done in QtQuick styling, so we’re just updating Breeze QtWidgets style since it’s lagging behind.

And these changes will help us find any oddities, so that when Union is released, we have much easier time to make sure the styling works across our stack.

(See the blogpost i linked above :slight_smile: )

Thanks for clarification though a short explanation what “Union” is would be great :wink:

Alas: while unification is good, I just not that fond of “roundedness” (and things getting more and more “rounded”, see Tahoe) and just loved Windows mobile metro which had border-radius: 0px; and it was glorious :wink: (but it’s a huge case of “de gustibus” :slight_smile: )

Updated it with this link: Moving KDE's styling into the future | Quantum Productions

This is pretty much what Union will allow you to do :slight_smile:
