I think I found out how to do what you want. In the System Settings app, you will go to “Workspace Behaviour” (right under Appearance), then in the submenu choose “Desktop Effects”, and either scroll down (number 2 in “Appearance”) or search for “Blur”. To the right there’s a configure button that you press.
In the popup you can then configure the Blur Strength and I suggest you put it all the way to Light (to the left). Noise strength i have no idea what does lol.
Hope this helps, and if you need pictures I can do that as well
Edit: This will also change other places with blur.
And also remember to change the opacity settings of the panel (In edit mode, edit the panel, to the right “more options”, and then you can choose from there)
Thanks for helping. I've already tried putting the blur all the way down (and fiddling with the noise, no idea what it does either) - the screenshots in my post are both with blur at 0 :( Also means my logout screen isn't blurred properly and the icons are harder to see over the background.
My panel opacity is set to "Adaptive" so that it turns opaque with maximised windows. Even if I set it to be "Translucent", it's looks the same as it is in my screenshots.
This looks awesome! Definitely stuff I’d use. I presume it’s also great for stuff like text expanders, autocorrect and typing predictions (if you’re into that stuff)
Like typing !date and it gives you the exact date or something (or unix time! So many possibilities!)

I miss this too. It should be possible because it is shown in the Audio System Settings. There is also a bug open for this improvement: 453629 – Show full window titles on Applications tab, as the KCM does https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453629
Hard to explain for me, but a lot of it comes down to a simplicity factor. I love KDE, I love having control, but I also loving having a surface that I can just work with, yknow? So, there is always settings to go under the hood, but rarely will I need to. I tried to simplify my system using certain widgets and thematic stuffs. Sounds odd, but this is the best way I can put it, haha. I appreciate you asking!
Thank you as well! I didn’t want anything complicated, just a bit pretty and mainly functional. Your words here are something I’ll take to heart. Have a good day!
Thank you! I look forward to taking part of the community here. Been a big fan of KDE and the projects for a while now, so once I heard there was a Lemmy instance, I was pretty thrilled. I adore KDE and look forward to learning more and more!
Literally the first sentence in its Readme says it is.
The README is one thing, in actuality its another. I’ve personally tested it with Arch Linux KDE on both my Surface Pro 7 and a desktop PC with an Acer touch-capable monitor:
There is no Input Devices -> Virtual Keyboards section in KDE System Settings when running in X11, so you can’t even enable Maliit for your X11 session.
There’s a lot of situations in X11 where tapping on a text box won’t trigger onscreen keyboards and since there’s no way to manually trigger Maliit to appear like you can with the Steam keyboard with STEAM + X, it is kinda broken.
By all means, feel free to tinker. You probably need to disable the read-only filesystem on SteamOS in order to properly install the Maliit package. All I am saying is don’t expect an experience that’s usable in SteamOS’s X11 desktop session.
what happen if u right click on one of the invisible icons, choose properties, click on “change” button then assign the icon manually from there. (you click on the button to the left of the extensions list)
In this case yes, but I have other images that I can share where the .zip extensions are not shown either, and in fact if you see on the left in the list of removable devices, the CDROM (which is nothing more than a flashed distro on a flash drive with Balena Etcher) does not have an icon either.
The ‘Help → About KDE → Report Bugs or Wishes’ dialog available in most KDE applications ends with this paragraph:
If you have a suggestion for improvement then you are welcome to use the bug tracking system to register your wish. Make sure you use the severity called “Wishlist”.
it seems wrong, to me, to submit them to the bugtracker.
You could do that. There is a wishlist option under the “Severity” drop-down selector. But , as you can imagine, what one person wants ranks pretty low when it comes to severity, so more severe bugs will tend to take precedence.
But, know this: KDE is not a a company with a suggestion box. it is an open-ended, grassroots, volunteer-based community with undefined, permeable edges. This means you can become part of it. If you want something, you should become part of it and contribute to making it happen.
If you don’t know how to code, or think you have nothing to contribute, do not underestimate yourself: you definitely have something that can help KDE. And, even if you end up contributing to something that has little to do with what you want done, you will be helping, however indirectly, to making your wish happen.
