Seems kinda inconsistent. I’m seeing thin lines, thicc lines, flat, 3d, colored and monochrome all together
The icons don’t all speak the same language, true. Some are way more elaborate and detailed than others, which just makes them look off.
Maybe the library could be a single book instead of an entire bookshelf, for example?
There’s another icon called “folder-book”
Ah, didn’t see that one at first. Even that icon is still too different from the others though, using thinner lines and no fill. Hm
filled areas and outlined, simple and chaotic… :-)
These are definitely an improvement over the current icons but while some of the design rules are evident, i think a bit of refining is in order.
The games and download folders both need a complete redesign as the ignore the design rules that the other folders use, and why are the symbols on each folder white except for the Mac folder?
They are… certainly icons. I can’t get any more excited than that I’m afraid
…
I’ll be sticking with papirus.
Finally designers are realizing it’s not 2013 anymore and nobody liked the Win8 designed-in-powerpoint style.
Respectfully, I love how powerful KDE is but my god they can’t make things visually consistent to save their lives!
From inconsistent icons, to different KDE apps using wildly different design languages, to padding being inconsistent all throughout the DE and their apps, to fonts and their sizes kinda being all over the place
But at least a custom theme is trivial to install and solves most of it
Interesting. Even though I definitely have some mild form of OCD, I do not have single issue with Breeze defaults look.
Ooh, it really reminds me of newaita reborn which is one of my favorite icon themes. I’m glad they’re making it a little less minimal
Now KDE needs to implement a consistent design language for its apps, clean up its settings, and have better defaults. Not asking KDE to copy Gnome, just that it needs a lot more work to be palletable to someone using it for the first time.
TODO since KDE 3…
Looks good to me
I actually quite like the current breeze style with the sharper edges, it sets it apart from other designs.
Great criticism overall. Yes, it’ll be improved.
I’ve seen better designs. But I’ve also seen worse designs. This is pretty meh.
And I was gonna try out KDE anyway.
KDE is the epitome of meh.
Isn’t KDE spearheding HDR support for Wayland? And doing a bunch more objectively good/usefull projects like the xwayland video bridge?
Technologically, it’s the best DE out there, no contest. (Maybe with the exception of touchscreen integration)
But some design decisions grind my gears so hard I can’t use it.
I get irrationally angry when I see the bouncing cursor animation, or look at a list of my programs and half the names start with “K”.
It feels too sluggish, overloaded and Windows-y in its default configuration and getting rid of everything that nags me takes too long, when Gnome comes out of the box looking simple and stylish.
I liked old look more. Would prefer to add even more preinstalled icons instead.
Why is everything a folder? What does a debian or android folder do?
Yes, everything will be a folder in plasma 6, including applications, don’t worry, you I’ll love the new Firefox folder. Its the natural progression of things, don’t try to stop it.
Everything’s previously a file, now everything is a folder
Look forward to Plasma 6 where everything will be an application. Downloads folder? That’s an application now. A font you just installed? Application. The video you just downloaded? You guessed it
It’s deb, not Debian, so I’d assume it’s the icon for .deb files (which are browsable archives).
Debían no idea… But I guess android could be android studio folders or similar stuff?
