    I’d like to see a proper full redesign of the KDE settings one day TBH. I can’t quite put my finger on why, but the settings always feel kind of weird and counterintuitive to me.

      Same. One of my biggest peeves with KDE is the settings situations. Many are so cluttered and dated compared to KDE’s more modern style. I’m glad some work is going into cleaning that up.

      I disagree, I think the current design is pretty good (though I preferred the layout in kde5)

      I guess the biggest problem is how ugly tabs are in breeze?

      Please no.

      Whereas Microsoft still relies on certain window content from pre 2000, KDE has redesigned just about everything a 100 times already. The software discovery tool has seen so many different versions, settings too.

      Please focus in bug fixing and stability. I AGAIN cannot update my sddm login background image, something that hasn’t worked about 50% of the time over the past 20 years. Please fix it and then make sure it stays fixed, PLEASE?

        Oh yeah I’m not saying it has to be an absolute priority, just something I’d like to see get worked on at some point.

      Gnome is getting accent color support in Gnome 47. I hope Gnome and KDE have the accent color portal configured correctly so eachother’s apps look right.

      Though Gnome’s side comes with two limitations. Accent colors will only be used in Libadwaita apps and those apps need to be updated to follow the standard (though I have noticed in Fedora 41 development version that many Gnome apps are still version 46 but still use the new accents). Second, Gnome only supports a handful of named colors while most other desktops allow any hex value. So other desktops will need to pick the closest color.

        Honestly gnome should allow custom hex but just not expose it in the GUI. I know that libadwaita already supports custom colors for all parts of the gui
