Description Gerhard Dittes 2018-03-16 10:33:40 UTC

Hi,

after a "normal/default" Plasma installation, Konsole doesn't look like being part of the overall Plasma experience.

But it could be so easy... ;-)

Just set "Breeze" as Konsole's default theme.  (It's the default Plasma theme, anyway.)

It really looks so much nicer (and most of the people I know do that step manually via: "Appearance" -> "Color Scheme and Background" -> "Breeze").

It's a small (but IMHO important) step to make the Plasma desktop feel more consistent!

Talking about default settings, another suggestion I have, is to increase the default font size by 1pt.  (Thus, from 10pt to 11pt.)  That's also a thing lots of user do after a fresh installation (in my experience).

Please consider... & thanks for your great work

Gerhard

The default font size is the same as the fixed font size set in kdeglobals; so you need to file a separate bug against whatever component sets the default font size in KF5. (I don't know which component ... :)).

FWIW I agree that the default fixed-width font size is too small and submitting a patch to increase it has been on my to-do list for a while.

I also plan to do the same with the geberal font (10pt -> 11pt), for the same reason that you identified, but I expect that will be fairly controversial...


Let's use this bug to track using the Breeze theme by default.

Update Breeze color scheme's colors

Summary:
When I updated the colors of the systemwide Breeze color scheme last
year, I neglected to update the Konsole color scheme. This patch corrects
that oversight.

Colors taken from https://hig.kde.org/style/color/default.html

Test Plan:
Overall, the contrast is much better than it was before.

applications. This patch makes it happen.
