Testers needed: Manjaro KDE massive cleanup/rename

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

What’s wrong exactly?

New Yakuake Breath theme is absolutely gorgeous! There’s only one tiny issue with its corners being not entirely transparent though, however I don’t know if that’s actually possible to achieve or not. @bogdancovaciu

It absolutely can.
Insert or replace Inherits=breeze into theme file.
Icons are {themepath}/apps/*/system-file-manager.svg.

Oh I believe that’s a way to go what do you think Artyom? A couple of nice Manjaro icons on top of everything else covered by Breeze.

Another annoyance I had lately is Profile 1 set for Dolphin’s terminal pane. It has become very weird: white background, big font size. I had another profile set for it, which got reset with some recent update.

I guess i could go the old fashion way and convert the svg files to png. Will investigate more on this.
What i noticed is that depending of what is in the background, it can have like an artifact there
