Disappearing KDE Title Bars (RESOLVED--sort of)

RESOLUTION: I never did truly solve this problem, nor identify its root cause, but I managed to work around it by forcibly reinstalling both KWin and QTCurve. Original post below for the benefit of posterity... I'm experiencing still more weirdness with KDE in MX-16.1 Twice in the last two days, an ...

Re: "Random" color weirdness MX-16 KDE

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I am (well, was) using a Kvantum color scheme (KvArc). And yes, I have the KDE GTK config widget installed; the dropdown weirdness resolved itself when I went back to QTCurve. I'm hearing that you suspect Kvantum as the ultimate culprit. That's probably good news. I ...

Color weirdness MX-16 KDE (RESOLVED, sort of)

I'm going to apologize in advance for this post, because I'm honestly not sure if this issue is with MX, or the theme engine, the DE,or this new-to-me-but-second-hand laptop. Please consider this as more of a "is it just me?" or "anyone got any clue what might be going on?" kind ...

Re: MX-16 Screenshots

I love old-growth trees. There is something calming about them. Meanwhile, I've altered my wallpapers for the time being to pay homage to the little spacecraft that reminded us that Nature is vastly more beautiful than even our best "artist's conception." https://thumbs.imgbox.com/92/98/rt...

Kvantum docs?

So I'm trying to get this new-fangled Kvantum theme engine to work, and it's giving me fits. No matter how hard I try, some/all of the theme features never seem to find their way to actual objects on the screen. It's bad enough that I am forced to conclude that either (a) I am doing something(s) mas...

Killing Kwallet

I'm not exactly sure if this post is in the right place, since there seem to be multiple KDE threads/subforums. Forgive me if I've chosen the wrong place. If you're like me and hatehatehate the ever-intrusive KWallet, you are no doubt frustrated by the inability to kill it via KDE's systemsettings. ...

Re: MX-16 Screenshots

Normally, I lean toward the almost-cliche dark-blue-and-black desktop look. But, new-to-me laptop, fresh install of MX-16, and the serendipitous discovery of a teal color scheme that didn't suck, I decided to indulge one of my favorite color combinations: purple with teal. https://thumbs.imgbox.com/...
