Doesn't look that bad besides the jumbo size of the elements.

Good question actually. I realllllyyyyy hope we can change the color from blue to something better. I am so fucking tired of the color blue, you wouldn't believe it.

On that note, what does /g/ think of my SDDM theme inspired by fauux's Lain fansite?
It is fully animated and has sound.

To run it you have to use the qml binary (provided by Arch via package qtchooser) to open the Main.qml file.

According to the blog post it's to make the login look more professional/suitable for a work environment. Doesn't matter too much, sddm is themeable I'm sure someone will maintain the old breeze theme. If not you can instead of bitching.

>>55165455
You need to put a gif or something up Andres Rodriguez, so we can check it out.
>>55166215
Gif includes no sound, and video compression kills the quality too much, since it's mostly pixel art.
You can check the code yourself (it's really short) and you'll see that there's nothing malicious in it if that's your concern against running it.
>>55166215
Also I don't mind my real name being used, if that was one of the points of your post :)
Otherwise I wouldn't have put it there.
Why does it matter?
KDE keeps all bunch of different themes in by default.
You can go back to Breeze (what OP posted) or even fucking Plasma (from KDE4) whenever you like.

sure, considering bash for windows 10 is basically a kernel emulation layer that runs w/e ELF it asks for, its not that different from VM with host-only connection and x server on windows exposed to that VM (which you can do on bash on windows too btw)
btw, it uses stock image of minimal ubuntu server - no special treatment

THANK YOU BASED KDE
"This release brings Plasma closer to the new windowing system Wayland. Wayland is the successor of the decades-old X11 windowing system and brings many improvements, especially when it comes to tear-free and flicker-free rendering as well as security. The development of Plasma 5.7 for Wayland focused on quality in the Wayland compositor KWin. Over 5,000 lines of auto tests were added to KWin and another 5,000 lines were added to KWayland which is now released as part of KDE Frameworks 5.
The already implemented workflows got stabilized and are ensured to work correctly, with basic workflows now fully functional. More complex workflows are not yet fully implemented and might not provide the same experience as on X11. To aid debugging a new debug console got added, which can be launched through KRunner using the keyword “KWin” and integrates functionality known from the xprop, xwininfo, xev and xinput tools.
Other improvements include:
When no hardware keyboard is connected, a virtual keyboard is shown instead, bringing a smooth converged experience to tablets and convertibles
The sub-surface protocol is now supported which means that System Settings works correctly and no longer errorneously opens multiple windows.
Mouse settings, such as pointer acceleration, are honored and the touchpad can be enabled/disabled through a global shortcut. Touchpad configuration is still missing."

Do those fucktards actually know what also is suitable for a workstation?
A fuckin DE that does not always crash and does not need hours upon hours of fixing shit and browsing bugtrackers and forums to find out how the hell to recover from the last crash.

>Using GNOME 3 non ironically.
I can't wait for GNOME 4 to come out and finally get rid of all of GNOME 2's features that they didn't have time to remove in GNOME 3. A DE should be nothing more than a wallpaper, keyboard shortcut, a useless bar with two buttons that stretches over the entire width of the screen and graphics intensive effects.
GNOME 3 is a sick, sad joke.
>>55169006
Maybe just stop trying to fuck around with it. KDE is not made for customization. It's made to provide a familiar experience for Windows users.

How?

How am I supposed to get shit done without a browser? And Inkscape and Gimp are quite essential too. And this never was a problem with KDE3 or 4 (at least not after the first 5 or so shitty versions. Its just the same with KDE5 again.)

>>55169391
Sorry that you are one of the few individual that have a working and good desktop, but why are there dozens of blogposts and articles, all stating that KDE5 is nowhere near ready to be shipped to a general audience?
Yes, they have a lot of good ideas, and yes, there are improvements to 4, but its simply not ready. And this saddens me, since KDE (theoretically) is the only sane DE left.

If that were only this single thing, then yes, you two would be right, but this is just a sign of a general, and very worrying trend.
For KDE specifically, this means that they are working on useless eyecandy, instead of adressing known, critical bugs, that make KDE simply unusable for certain people (e.g. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356225).
And on the more general picture, this is about everything being dumbed down, and "friendly", aiming for the lowest common denominator.

Just because something is opensource, does not mean that a single person can understand, or even change it.
As a user, it does not really matter. Either I have to trust some random folks who cobble together FOSS software, or I have to trust some random company who cobbles together closed software. Not that I can change or understand the inner workings of either.

You're a fucking retard. KDE is definitely made for customization. I've seen it look like OSX, I've seen it look like Unity, I've seen it look like Windows, I've seen it look like your typical minimalist freetard desktop, I've seen it look like everything in between. You clearly have never even looked in the settings or downloaded any themes.
