tomscharbach Oh. I don't think he means any issue per se, just that they have a pretty rigid process and timeline for when updates (like a new major release like Mutter 10) have to be done by.
Budgie 10.6

@EbonJaeger i suppose theres no way to sneak this in early? it would be a massive improvement for me

I don't know how far out 10.7 is likely to be (10.6 is scheduled to come to Solus 3/18) but, as much as I would like to have this feature, upgrading to Budgie unstable -- assuming that's even possible for users outside the project -- strikes me as a good way to make my life miserable.
Lucien_Lachance With this I'll be able to uninstall Plank. Add fractional scaling (next Friday I think) and Budgie will be complete in my opinion.
Budgie 10.6 is now in the Unstable repository. For the best experience, I would recommend restarting your computer after updating, or at minimum, logging out and back in. Have fun!
Lucien_Lachance I don't really want to commit to it one way or the other at the present time. We'll see what things look like a bit in the future.

Budgie 10.6 here, 2 little things:
Some icons in the new Budgie Control Center are "out of theme" (papirus here). (?)
Desktop notification doesn't look good, it's like a notification inside another one, and maybe the shadow is less shadow than before:

sangheeta Some of the control center icons use custom icons. This appears to be from upstream GNOME Control Center.
I just pushed an update to the branding, changing the default theme to Materia, to match the recommendation and vision of upstream Budgie. The padding issue has been reported, but it looks like a theme issue and Plata appears to no longer be maintained.
Apologies for not doing that before, and for any inconveniences with switching themes. I don't use Plata myself and forgot about it.
Thank you for the testing and feedback!

Do you happen to know if the virtual desktops are still limited to just 8? That was one of the issues that sent me to Plasma after using Budgie for a long time.
WetGeek I'm afraid nothing has changed in that regard. Sorry.
It seems like the dark theme settings are not global?

Look at the dark and dark compact materia gtk theme in the software center
sangheeta Ok that's the trick. Thank you1
Yeah, they're split into separate packages for... some reason...
For anyone curious, here is what the desktop looks like with Materia:
is there a way to install 10.6 without going full unstable? like sudo eopkg url x 7 ? or would there be unmet dependencies this way?
GZGavinZhao Aren't there any "Raven's" in China?

That's disapointing. I got used to Plata-Noir and end up liking it very much.
algent Lol I actually can't find one. Is this a word that only Budgie uses?

I've noticed, testing other Budgie implementations (e.g. Ubuntu Budgie) in VM's, that Plata-Noir is no longer offered as an option (e.g. Ubuntu Budgie 20.04 offers the Plata-Noir theme but Ubuntu Budgie 21.10 does not). Available Ubuntu Budgie 21.10 themes (e.g. Pocillo) seem washed out in comparison to Plata-Noir.
I did not realize that Plata-Noir was no longer maintained. The Budgie project will have to do the best it can with available themes, I guess, but it is sad news to be losing Plata-Noir.
