I agree with @BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online a lot here.

I think a color scheme solves a lot, but the color gradients etc. are still gone.

What is your favourite non-white light theme, best for Plasma 6?

Please add a screenshot!

    This was the peak of light themes. Nothing is pure white except the parts with lots of text that needs to be very clear.

      Agreed. Anyone got a KDE screenshot from that era?

      I have to say I like this one

      Dolphin

      Early KDE design was so weird, like transparency and Windows 95-ish rest? For sure!

      strange

        I have to say I like this one

        image

        Dolphin

        kde can still look like that too:

        kde oxygen theme, plasma 5.27

        i really hope oxygen does get ported to plasma 6, and not dropped like the air theme has been


        i must say though, as much as i prefer the look of light themes usually, i think dark themes are objectively[1] better unless you’re in bright sunlight: images and video aren’t affected by themes, so dark themes put the focus on the media, whereas light themes can wash them out

        (current theme setup)


        1. this is conjecture, i haven’t done any studies ↩︎
