trixon this would need really deep testing, that it doesnt brake any stuff and discover wont be added to the repo

    RE + 1 for the activation of the digital lock at startup this would suit me well because in my passwords I always include numbers. I did not have any updates this weekend is this normal ? by cons my girlfriend who is on Solus Mate had.

    Rectification!! I just received the updates this afternoon

    I was a gnome fan at the first ubuntu days, before ubuntu i was using always kde it was pretty good. Now i'm a kde fan again i just prefer it.

    Thanks for doing this. I moved back to solus and this is the first KDE env that isn’t like emptying a few tool chests at my feet.

    one feedback on the default dark them is I can’t tell active from non active windows because the title bar color is the same. The font color contrast as the only visual cue is not enough of a difference. Probably a personal or monitor issue

    good job. Thanks

      • Roboto Font would be a great choice, so would Ubuntu or Fira Sans.
      • Some light elements in gtk theme
      • GTK theme restore button is the same as maximize button. See breeze gtk for how to implement correctly.

      What I do on my Solus Plasma install:

      • Use icon tasklist
      • Use the other non-fullscreen menu (I think it's more "out of the way")
      • Put "show desktop" on right corner
      • Use "active monitor follows mouse" (I think this is the default by now)
      • Disable saving session

        Theme/style/colours

        Budgie's default theming is amazing! SolusDark is on the right track.

        Application Launcher/Start Icon

        Like many here I think the normal Solus logo as the start icon looks tacky. BUT when the colours are changed to better compliment dark/light themes, it looks beautiful! Examples....

        Cursors

        I really like the idea of seeing the following

        Dark Theme

        We10XOS Cursors

        Light Theme

        Hopefully We10XOS Dark Cursors become a thing to keep theming coherent. If not I'd fall back to Adwaita cursors or

        Paper Cursors

        Icons

        Personally I love paper-esque icon sets and I think they look great on Solus Plasma.

        I currently use Lüv icon theme. For me this icon set is my personal favourite.

        Side note

        It's interesting that there was a Solus Icon Set once upon a time

        Fonts

        I haven't looked into fonts tbh....

        Application selection

        No issues here.

        Final Thoughts

        Just some ideas, regardless if any are implemented or not it doesn't bother me.
        Imma continue supporting Solus/Solus Plasma 🙂

          Solus Icon Set

          Interesting, I liked them a lot. Sensible, not cutesy. From your link: "Solus-icon-theme forked from solus-project/solus-icon-theme...Solus is the official icon set of the Solus Project. As a FreeDesktop icon theme it (loosely) follows the Tango Icon Spec....."

          ...I did not know we had an official icon set to fork.

              brent It was something we had paid Sam Hewitt for a long time ago (like years) but he suddenly stopped working on it and never came back to completing it.

              Not really interested in a dedicated icon theme at this moment though. I am pretty happy with Papirus. Only thing that is on the long list of stuff I want to get around to is a Budgie+GTK specific theme.

                  JoshStrobl Someday when they write the history of the Solus distro, it will be full of the gems like the Hewitt contribution. Love it.
