nice!

calinb You may wish to read this page in the MX wiki: https://mxlinux.org/wiki/xfce/changing-border-size-with-xfce4-window-manager/ Among other things, it also contains download links to a very visible, different-contrast window decoration (xfwm4) theme where the border of the active window takes o...

I noticed that the options during the login screen (SDDM) are not clickable. If I restart the shell from tty then the login options become clickable and the taskbar is not frozen when I log in. If it's not clickable, please check whether sddm-modified-init package is installed. SDDM has that issue ...

Woe, that's a new feature: a haunted desktop! Maybe you need a specialist from the older desktop to get rid of it: the Xorgcist . :number1: Anyway...a newer Qt 6 could probably be backported for Bookworm, since we have 6.4.2 in the MX 21 test repo and bullseye-backports, but it's a load of packages...

Garuda linux forum has posts about a lot of Plasma 6 issues. I think that's because Garuda Plasma edition is very heavily customised. Essentially if you really love customising Plasma with 3rd party themes and plasmoids (including Latte Dock), you might have issues. I have a Artix KDE install that u...
