2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.

sudo
in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

I honestly don't know about that.
Can you maybe recommend something that is similar but might be still updated? I really like how KDE used to look back then but I missed out on it. The way most new desktops copy the flat look of Windows and Mac OS annoys me. I want the details back and like my window has sides and shadows.
I agree a lot. Had Vista and XP machines in the past.
Then mainly used Win10 and KDE Plasma was a solid upgrade.
But they really copied the Win10 look which is atrocious. I agree that WinXP and 7 and the era where way better.
There are themes for everything though. Its just theming. I dont know if all apps support it and have never dealt with it, as Breeze works pretty well with Adwaita and Electron apps too.
I think there are Kvantum themes for this?
Glad to read we are thinking alike about these things.
I see there are some nice themes at the place you've linked. If those work with KDE Plasma, that would certainly be interesting to give a try.
I'll have a look at that.
I looked but couldnt find it.
Tbh I like some of the more modern things, and they are for sure easier to unify. When theming like that, you also need a GTK3 theme, a GTK4 color scheme, a firefox theme etc.
And many of these toolkits dont support big themes anymore, just swapping colors.
