[Stable Update] 2021-12-10 - Kernels, Systemd, LibreOffice, Plasma, Browser, Thunderbird

We deprecated all of our old themes - Breath and Breath2. Our newest one that is a modification of latter - Breath2 2021 - became the only supported theme but got slight updates since August. So all in all:

  • Breath2 2021 is renamed to Breath
  • Breath2 is renamed to Breath Classic and will not receive any updates other than minor to be supported on current Plasma version.
  • Breath is renamed to Breath Legacy and abandoned

Updates that new Breath got:

  • Default icon theme is Breeze now since previous Breath2 icons were really old and not updated for years. Breeze now provides folder icons that respect your accent color and also will do the same for File Manager and Settings Icons soon:
  • Dark variation of Bamboo wallpaper - Bamboo at Night:
    image
  • New panel icons;
  • Updated previews with reduced size so System Settings will not load them too long:
  • New extra color schemes that could be found in plasma5-themes-breath-extra package;
  • New Yakuake theme (still work in progress in minor visual details but perfectly usable):
  • SDDM theme got a workaround to not to show password after successful login on Wayland:

Also our default settings got a lot of tide-up, we removed a lot of obsolete configs which were breaking some users’ experience and now our default is way more close to KDE default settings. And we added a new Konsole profile with zsh shell by default as this is what Manjaro now uses.
