Found this link while looking through the upcoming theming engine (Union) repository. It has mockups for several core apps (dolphin, Kate, konsole and more) and general components such as modals and titlebars.

KDE contributor Manueljlin would like to remind you:

hey folks, it's really early still. we didn't even properly show it at Akademy. there's no design system to properly back it up yet - only some tokens and components that are definitely subject to change. please keep that in mind

Figma blocks Vanadium and Mulch, and it doesnt load on Mull, what a crap.

[-] Lojcs@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

It needs webgl and wasm, it doesn't block anything

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Well I have enabled both webgl and wasm on both browsers ;)

Mull has it enabled but it may be broken for some reason.

Vanadium and Mulch have a JIT/wasm toggle which I turned on, webgl is not blocked at all. Those browsers are blocked by UA (I guess), while most sites display them as the latest Android Chrome

There are some really nice designs here. I really hope that KDE finally gets to pay attention to this. I love simplification of it.

One thing I don't like here is the login screen. There is too much stuff on it. I think gnome's login screen, as it is now, is fantastic.

And one more thing, proposal for mindset change: not everything has to be a widget. Some things (like shell) could have layouts: layout as current plasma/windows, layout as gnome, layout as Mac, layout as Win8... If things get well thought out, you can integrate this and switch layouts and not di*k around with widgets. Less moving parts, less problems.

Some nice stuff right there but gosh, I just can't stand seeing Inter on a single more UI screen.

[-] that_leaflet@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I’m not a fan of Inter either. Since Gnome is planning on moving to it, I’ve tried it a bit. It’s weirdly wide, which I don’t like.

[-] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

holy cow, yes please!

[-] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

I like it although it feels a bit generic for the moment

[-] penquin@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Please don't tell me they're making the settings icons colorless like this? Please say they're not? This looks horrible.

[-] TCB13@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Look so damn good, they even seem to know what padding is this time.

[-] penquin@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

It does look very professional, but I just don't like the monochrome icons. I hate them with a burning passion. I really hope they leave the colored ones as an option

[-] sudotstar@fedia.io 7 points 2 months ago

Plasma has generally respected custom icon themes. I imagine that if this change does indeed land within the default Breeze icon set, that it would be possible to run either an older Breeze icon set, or a completely custom icon theme to restore colored icons.

[-] penquin@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

I hope so. I have faith in them

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 6 points 2 months ago

I doubt they'd go the Gnome route of actually removing functionalities.

[-] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

looks like they are, in general.

Kickoff’s category icons have been made symbolic and monochrome (where the active icon theme supports it), which conforms better to the HIG

[-] penquin@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah well that sucks. Monochrome icons are ugly. Might as well use gnome then. I'm just hoping that we will still have the option to change back to the colored ones.

[-] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

We need colour! light themes aren't meant to blind us!
