You are right in what you wrote. I'm aware of this. So I gathered some email addresses the last days and I sent an email today to a developer of one of the widgets I'm missing. I also made a list a week ago, what I already have of themes,icons,global themes, widgets and so on or abandon the one or other element, because they are not so important. Kpple Menu and Control Centre were ported to Plasma 6 very quickly. I've found alternatives, for instance, for a window decoration theme: Utterly Round Dark Solid (prior to that I used "Apple Absolute Dark" in the past). But the Utterly Theme has a little bug: artefacts on the rounded window corners, that I will post as a bug report on bugs.kde.org the next days or should I write to the developer of this decoration theme? >From the list I could extract 3 things, that I'm missing: A launchpad like Klaunch, an animated dock, or a new dock to create or ported to Plasma 6, like latte-dock, when there is a new developer, or create a Qt version of Cairo Dock, for example. I read in the Internet in a comment, that a man is thinking over the possibility to take up the development of Latte Dock. Saying this or doing it is another matter. The third thing would be a translator. 2 widgets exist, that had been recently added to Plasma 6: DeepL and Google Translator. The latter is suspicious for me, but both have an inconvenience: both are light instead of being dark. Time to create an email to the developer of DeepL to change this. Remain 2 things: Klaunch and an animated dock. Could you perhaps provide me with the one or other email address, in case that a developer forgets to communicate such an address and that I couldn't find one in the Internet? I intend to move to Kubuntu 24.04 with Plasma 5 until all problems of my layout will be solved in Plasma 6. But in Kubuntu I cannot install Control Centre, because of a possible wrong PGP Key. I have already the email address of that developer, who is an Indian developer, who has also paused the development, because of university exams that he has to made. I would use Kubuntu a few weeks or months and then return to Manjaro KDE, when all will be well in Plasma 6 for my layout. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
