For me as someone who changes icons sometimes just to see and tinker around, i think this makes sense. We have reliable fallback, but we still allow users to customize things which is, well, our thing! :) And if the custom icons break i do not end up with broken apps, so i really do not see any downside here, as user or dev perspective. - Akseli ps. I am bad with mailing lists, lets hope this sends to right place lol
KDE Review Request: KRDP
Hi! Arjen Hiemstra and me have been working on a RDP server called KRDP. This allows remote desktop connections over RDP protocol. Arjen did the heavy lifting with the streaming side and the actual protocol side. https://invent.kde.org/plasma/krdp I have done the KCM side of things, which is a system settings menu where one can toggle the server on and off and change various other settings like quality of the stream and such. You can test it with for example Remmina client, more info here: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/krdp#known-working-and-not-working-clients Here is the review request issue: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/krdp/-/issues/17 I'd like to get some reviews in and so on so we can get this in good shape. :) Thank you! - Akseli Lahtinen PS. My first review request, do tell me if I missed something! I followed this documentation for it https://develop.kde.org/docs/getting-started/add-project/#kde-review

Re: Post-MegaRelease projects
I wouldn't mind working on the high-contrast accessibility mode toggle, since we have now unified all the contrast values for separators. - Akseli On Thursday 22 February 2024 23:57:07 EET Nate Graham wrote: > Hello everyone, > > Congrats to the entire KDE community on the impending launch of the KDE > 6 MegaRelease!

Exception request: High contrast frames and separators
Hi! I have made an accessibility feature that allows to set high-contrast mode for any outlines and frames Breeze style has. Here is the original merge request: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/breeze/-/merge_requests/393 Do note that it's been split to three separate merge requests! However, the above linked MR has still all the relevant info. The feature exception request is for both style and window deco. For style, it adds the checkbox toggle that sets the frame either default color or high contrast color. In window deco, we just remove the unnecessary settings, and only have three settings: Off, Default, High Contrast I do think this would be good to get in ASAP, since it is an accessibility feature and will be genuinely helpful for many who need high contrast colors in their setups. Best regards and happy new year, Akseli Lahtinen
