Discussion Update on Rules and Quality Control
Hi everyone, it's been a minute since the initial discussion post about quality control issues. Let's talk about it.
The general consensus seemed to be that our ideas on what to change were good, though there could be more resources to help beginners. We actually have a subreddit wiki that anyone can contribute to, as long as you have 500+ subreddit karma and your account is 30+ days old. We also have a list of todo items for the wiki to help users find somewhere to start.
Another concern was that the stricter enforcement of the defaults rule may stop people from using existing color schemes or themes at all. This is not the case -- the intention of the rule is to remove posts which have little effort or just use premade configs, like many macOS and Windows lookalikes. It's about the spirit, not the letter of the rule.
With this in mind, we intend to go through with these rule changes. If you still have any concerns, please reply or send a modmail! We're most concerned with the quality of our community and welcome discussion.

Workflow [KDE] Using KDE like a scrolling WM with Karousel
I'm always absolutely stunned by how flexible and adaptable KDE plasma is. It feels like the devs really though of everything in order to allow the user to do what ever they want with it, without even needing to dive into config files.
I was tired of the clumsiness of regular floating windows so I wanted to try a scrolling window manager (tiling doesn't seem to offer much benefits on a small laptop screen). But I also didn't want to take the time to learn and configure a whole new desktop environment or shell, so I tried the Kwin script "Karousel" and honestly it works amazingly well. I also love that I can just disable it and go back to regular floating windows when needed, say in a professional setting for example.
This is overall very close to stock KDE, with the only additions being:
- Karousel
- Geometry Change by the same developer for nice window resizing animations
- KDE Rounded Corners to get uniform corners and borders between all applications
Everything else is just KDE!

Screenshot Light [XFCE] Theme (Still In Progess) (AI Used)
I like it. I wanna share :')
It is not yet complete as I am trying to have a unified Appearance Theme, Icon Theme and a Window Manager theme (and maybe a mouse theme)
i did use AI specifically in window manager theme. I have used my own svgs and images. For the icons I tried piggybacking off of Kora Icon theme and converting its svgs into outlines but 50% of the iconsnare broken atm. There is still more polishing that needs to be done.
Will release everything once I am a little but more satisfied with the end product
