Yes but you messed up your config. KDE has basically everything included so for sure remove Redshift, that may be an issue.

Even though this looks more like a color inversion.

boredsquirrel , 2 days ago to KDE in [Solved]What happened to my background/desktop?

Ooooh lol! I thought that was your sky color.

You dont need Redshift, uninstall that. Plasma has its own tool for that.

Did you do some frankenstein install on top of Mint??

Looks like your accent color automatically gets chosen from the background. But I didnt know that that many icons have different colors??

I only know Dolphin changing color

boredsquirrel , 4 days ago to KDE in KDE Plasma 6.1.1 released!

Poorly it introduced multiple crashes this session... error reports already sent, btw I dont think downloading debug symbols works on Fedora Kinoite?

boredsquirrel , 4 days ago to KDE in KDE Plasma 6.1.1 released!

Came over night on Fedora Kinoite.

Quite like it, everything is rooound. In Dolphin with the right-click select I can now make a circle!

But why are the lower window borders still square? And that is with Qt/KDE apps!

Please ask KDE Neon devs.

Discuss.kde.org

Or file a bug on bugs.kde.org

boredsquirrel , 13 days ago to KDE in Install updates from Discover without password ?

That was only one of the requested info. But I edited the rule.

boredsquirrel , 20 days ago (edited 13 days ago) to KDE in Install updates from Discover without password ?

I have examples in the repo I linked

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
  if action.id == "org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update" {
    if subject.isInGroup("wheel") {
      return polkit.Result.YES;
    }
  }
});

Please ask KDE Neon devs, if placing this rule as /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/packagekit-update.rules is safe

I used Neon for a while. Again, can you please give the needed information. If the password dialog shows, at the left click on "expand"/"show more" and you see the exact action that is executed.

Then have a look at the rules in my linked repo, and replace the action in "libvirt" with that, and the group with "wheel"

(Use groups and send me the output, no idea if the sudo users are in the sudo group on Ubuntu)

Then send that rule, embed it in

```
Rule
```

To format correctly. I look at it and if it is correct, we go on.

Without telling your distro this question is not helpful.

Discover uses packagekit, an abstraction layer that can do things like install, update, remove on many different distros.

So this might be distro-independent, but maybe not.

Try to enter in the terminal pkcon upgrade and if a GUI password prompt pops up, click on "expand" and see the action that is used like org.somenama.packagekit_update

This GUI prompt might also already be the one you described

Many Distros use polkit instead of sudo actions. Though many sudo actions dont have polkit rules.

boredsquirrel , 30 days ago to KDE in Simple theme switching systemd-timer

Yes thats it. To my knowledge "enabling" just linked the service to the active dir, but I suppose not

boredsquirrel , 1 month ago to KDE in Simple theme switching systemd-timer

Thanks, yes I am doing that for 2 projects.

They download the Thunderbird and Firefox arkenfox/equivalent user.js script and change them a bit.

The TB one is pretty clean and already uses it, the FF one is pretty messy and doesnt yet use it.

You still need to activate the service units it seems, I will look into that.

boredsquirrel , 1 month ago to KDE in Crystal Dock v2.0 and Crystal Remix icon theme v2.1 released!

Thanks for all the info and links!

I just always use Breeze exactly because of that "unthemed icons" issue, and also compatibility with the other Toolkits.

Making a new complete icon theme is intense work.

Personally I think the redesigns that are happening to Breeze are the better direction, especially detailed mini icons are damn unusable.

But I will try the other icon sets!

boredsquirrel , 1 month ago to KDE in Crystal Dock v2.0 and Crystal Remix icon theme v2.1 released!

Very very cool!

I would love to try a more KDE 3 like style on Plasma 6.

Unlike Windows 11, Plasma just got better. But I may prefer the style of Windows 7, it is just more beautiful.

The modern stuff makes a lot of usability sense, and is way simpler. Also theming between GUI Toolkits is easier, for me only GTK, Qt, Electron and a bit libcosmic.
