Now I'm using multiple monitors, I find this quite disorienting. It seems the
general UI trend of last has been going to flatter designs and everything in
varying shades of grey. Or something like that, as have recently installed a
couple of systems anew with KDE, and found I'm feeling more like I can't
discern the elements on my desktop quite as easily as I have been on
Cinnamon/older versions/other desktops. Fair enough, not for me to decide what
the trends are, but not to my taste. I like light schemes with my monitors
brightness turned relatively far down, and I like clear differentiation between
different UI elements. If the window decorations, the plasma menu bars, the UI
widget,s the UI backgrounds, are all similarish shades of grey, personally my
eye struggles to scan things, and that hurts my productivity. I'm a developer
so I regularly have 100 open windows across 20 workspaces.
I've been customising some themes I have been using a while to add accent
colours. This is working nicely as of today - but the inability to toggle if
window borders are drawn when maximised is sticking a bit. Currently the active
window kind of bleeds into the plasma menubar. I can tune the accent colours a
bit but I prefeer a sharp border, especially if I have the font size turned
down as far as I can easily see so I can fit more text on one window. Same with
placing the menu elements like a Mac does in the top, as Unity switched to by
default some time ago - I don't like it myself as I like things to sit inside
clear containers. So I'd like to be able to turn this back on, even if it's
sensible to have it off by default (leave that for someone else to decide).
I just realised I'd been ignoring the little pencil icon when I go to choose my
decorations. Some decorations I have installed have a lot of customisable
options in the menu there - I assume this is for themes that involve a solib in
some way/are compiled into KWin, rather than just unpacked files in my Aurorae
folder, as the only option I see for several is the size of the buttons. Things
could be changed in the theme RC file, but I feel adding more options to the
customisation menu would be a nicer way to go with this, then the user decides,
rather than requiring anything from the theme author. No idea what
complications this would add to the implementation though.
