Testers needed: Manjaro KDE massive cleanup/rename

Breath icon theme removed because it was not updated for ages and has some broken and bad-looking icons.

Breeze now supports colour schemes and folder icons are being colored in your theme accent colours.

Yakuake should be in unstable repo already I suppose? I’m not really into packaging, will ask about it.

Yes, it is there. Sorry, my bad.


Yes, they are. But the icon of Dolphin itself (along with Kate and a few others) are blue that match with the Breeze theme, but not with Manjaro’s Breath theme and thus are a mismatch in the otherwise default green theming. That’s what I wanted to say.



Older Breath



Current Breeze


I am currently on the unstable branch just because I like to be bleeding edge. What is it you need me to do?

Thanks,

Jim

I kinda liked Breath icon of Dolphin too, but maintaining a separate icon theme just because of 1 icon is a waste of devs time I believe. You have to settle down with the regular Breeze icon of Dolphin.

I am very aware that both are using konsole-part, but that doesn’t mean it’s not two terminal emulators. For users, two icons to start things = two different programs. On a technical level that still hold true as well, because they have a different user interface.

Neither xterm nor uxterm are part of xorg packages, and neither is installed by default AFAICT. If they were included by default then removing both would be a good thing, too.

I think it would be great if ocs-url is preinstalled on kde edition .

Its not really an issue to create a PKGBUILD that seds over a few colors from upstream.
(and overwrite/add an icon or two)
I made, and we use, some other examples of this. Its a pretty decent ‘future-proof’ way to do things.

Is yakuake currently in an unavailable state due to some malfunctions in the yakuake theme?

no, why do you think that?

In fact, when I update the system to the latest version in the unstable channel, my yakuake does not seem to work properly.

Nope.
Just made sure to resync my system, installed yakuake … works fine.
Open a new thread if you need to.

I forgot to add a migration routine. Just smash your yakuake config in ~/.config/yakuakerc for now.

Just applied the latest update and got the following error:

UPD: The above issue has been fixed with a new update.

Agreed, but also sorry to see this “consistency” go.
Too bad an icon theme cannot override just a few icons and fallback to breeze for all the “missing” ones.

I am using the WhiteSur icon theme from store.kde.org. It is of course a reproduction of the icons used in macOS Catalina and therefore not a typical GNU/Linux-native icon set, but it’s fairly complete. I haven’t come across any missing icons yet, unlike ─ it must be said ─ when I was using the KDE-native Oxygen icon theme.

But it isnt that exactly … its legacy. Oxygen is from the kde3 days.
(some people still prefer it for whatever reason and it still always surprises me … its ugly IMHO)

Theres always Trinity DE for folks that want to hang on that bad :sweat_smile:

Hmm, I thought it first appeared in KDE4, but you could be right. Still, it’s still officially supported as a built-in theme in Plasma 5.

But either way, that’s beside the point, really, as we’re talking of the Oxygen icon theme, not of the widget theme or the window decorations.

Even if I delete the yakuake configuration file, I still cannot use yakuake.

The way I remember it:
KDE3 - Crystal Icons
KDE4 - Oxygen Theme and Oxygen Icons
