I'm not trying to make this a p*__ing contest. Actually, my list of 3 items might be helpful, in the sense that, once you know it, one can then decide to move on and choose to use other tools, so one does not have to waste their time trying to split logs with a handle-less axe. "clarjon1" said: "idk, but, it looks like "non-garbage Open-Source" went extinct 19 years ago per your stated metric...." BINGO! That's what I'm saying. Well, not exactly 19 years ago, but more like 13. Look, as I said previously, I use Linux as a tool in my daily activity. That means, whatever software that is, it SHOULD be EFFICIENT. And if it's not, I'm not going to lie to myself that it is. And about Xdialog, I managed to bring it forward all the way to Debian Bookworm by adding some shared libraries to the .deb file, but I think eventually I'm going to just friggin write myself from scratch a replacement that does the same thing and uses Qt instead of GTK. I just need to get to the point where I gather a critical mass of fury... It seems to me that KDE, since it concocted this "Plasma" BS, (what the mama is that supposed to mean anyway? Is it coming from the Sun or something?) went on the trajectory to a "non-functional Porsche on a pedestal for viewing" instead of the trajectory to a "sharp efficient sword for using". It may be useful as a wallpaper in a ballroom if you use just the logo from it, but if you need a light and efficient tool, you will have to look somewhere else. Or, if not, get to work and patch the hell out of it. So, if anyone wants something helpful, here's what I did: - Ditch the "latest and greatest". NEWER=CRAPPIER in 99% of cases (whether hardware - like the juicy Intel ME backdoor - or software) - Go back to Debian Buster/Bullseye and konqueror_21.04.0-1 , dolphin_20.12.1-2, kwin_5.20.5-1 . - Get the Debian source package for kwin_5.20.5-1, patch using the attached "kwin_plastik_border_snap.patch" and rebuild. Then open /usr/share/kwin/decorations/kwin4_decoration_qml_plastik/contents/ui/main.qml and for "case DecorationOptions.BorderNone" set "borders.setBorders(4);" so you can have a sane, non-cretinous 4-pixel visible border. Then use LXDE with KWin as window manager with the Plastik window decoration.
"konqueror_status_bar.patch"
to eliminate the stupid white-yellowish strip covering the status
bar messages when multiple tabs exist.
- Get the Debian source package for dolphin_20.12.1-2, patch using the attached "dolphin_filesize_in_bytes+iso_long_date.patch" and "dolphin_single-click_enforced.patch". This will show file sizes in bytes (instead of the idiotic "kikimimibibigigififi" BS) in Konqueror (and Dolphin, but I don't use it) and date-time stamps in standard 24h ISO long format "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss". Also it will launch items in the file view with a single click instead of the default and stupidly non-changeable double-click (also in both Konqueror and Dolphin). So here, if my previous message "didn't help", this one definitely should. On 12/01/2025 09:13 PM, Richard Troy

That's opinion. But neither viewpoint is fair, of course. FWIW, when it comes to people, I try hard to not judge anyone by their worst moment. When it comes to software it's a simpler time-spent vs utility metric.

Description: Disable the stupid retarded white strip covering the status bar. At Konqueror startup the status bar is just fine. But as soon as a new tab is open, the status bar is filled with a stupid white-yellow color making the status bar messages unreadable not to mention looking crappy stupid.
