This is not a strength but a severe weakness, as you know most users do not
change default settings or even look further than what is provided in system
settings.
I've been using linux every day as my main OS for over 15 years and KDE as my
main DE for 12 years and I did not even know store.kde.org existed.
I just went to have a look and I have no clue what this is about or how to use
it. I clicked the first look and feel theme and the first comment is asking how
to install it[1]. It seems obvious store.kde.org is not ready for prime time
yet, let alone a practical way to solve the problem raised in this bug report.
How would anyone confronted with the need to remove media player controls from
their lock screen find out that they have to go to store.kde.org and figure out
how to use it and hopefully find that some nice user had shared the exact theme
they're using with the media controls disabled ?
Is this really the official solution behind the "RESOLVED" "WONTFIX" status of
this bug ? you gotta be kidding me.
The phabricator task[2] clearly states that part of the plan in adding media
controls to lock screen includes:
What's to be done:
Allow to disable this for privacy reasons
When you go to edit the LockScreenUi.qml to turn it off it is clearly marked as
having to be configurable:
active: true // TODO configurable
Is there a package that can be removed to remove this functionality altogether
as can be done with the baloo nonsense, or a way to stop it from running
entirely as can be done with akonadi ?
