    Have you tried Trinity instead of LXDE?

    With Q4OS for example.

    [–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Is Trinity using... maintained software? I will try it in a moment, but the KDE Plasma people only really maintain what is in Plasma today. There are tons of abandonware like Konqueror (which Trinity supposedly uses?). Falkon is hardly maintained, Amarok was resurrected.

    Lots of great software, interesting, unique. But I dont know if I would use it for actual work.

    [–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    I honestly don't know about that.

    Can you maybe recommend something that is similar but might be still updated? I really like how KDE used to look back then but I missed out on it. The way most new desktops copy the flat look of Windows and Mac OS annoys me. I want the details back and like my window has sides and shadows.

    I agree a lot. Had Vista and XP machines in the past.

    Then mainly used Win10 and KDE Plasma was a solid upgrade.

    But they really copied the Win10 look which is atrocious. I agree that WinXP and 7 and the era where way better.

    There are themes for everything though. Its just theming. I dont know if all apps support it and have never dealt with it, as Breeze works pretty well with Adwaita and Electron apps too.

    I think there are Kvantum themes for this?

    [–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Glad to read we are thinking alike about these things.

    I see there are some nice themes at the place you've linked. If those work with KDE Plasma, that would certainly be interesting to give a try.

    I'll have a look at that.

    [–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 months ago

    I looked but couldnt find it.

    Tbh I like some of the more modern things, and they are for sure easier to unify. When theming like that, you also need a GTK3 theme, a GTK4 color scheme, a firefox theme etc.

    And many of these toolkits dont support big themes anymore, just swapping colors.

    [–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Or LXQt which is the variant they switched to mainly. Like, both are maintained but the Qt one is the one getting all the fixes, Wayland support etc.

    [–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Thanks for reminding me about LXQt. Back then it didn't really have all the features that LXDE used to have, but it does seem to have matured a bit.

    [–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 months ago

    I just tried it and it lacks some basic stuff like drag to edge for resizing. The apps are really minimalist though and it should really run everywhere.
