lighter colors 2

Also, the black letter is too "heavy". A bit (just a bit) of opacity would make it adapt to the background.
Comment 2 Lua 2021-04-29 20:11:53 UTC
Note: when I said "heavy" I actually meant "harsh". By making the letter a little bit transparent, the letter color would blend in the background, creating more visual balance.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-04-30 16:34:01 UTC
Yeah I agree that these colors are a bit too highly saturated to look ideal.
Comment 4 Lua 2021-04-30 23:53:30 UTC
Instead of color presets, maybe a color picker would be better?

fixed the red color

Ops, the red color was the same on both pictures. I fixed it now.

Also, these auto-generated pictures appear in a pixelated way in SDDM. Are they SVG files?
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2021-05-16 13:47:52 UTC
That's already been fixed in Plasma 5.22. :)
Comment 8 Lua 2021-05-21 08:52:47 UTC
great!

There was a merge request for this issue, but in another app. In Plasma 5.22, the default profile picture doesn't have a gradient, but if you change it in System Settings > Users, all of the available options still have the gradient. Also, they have an inconsistent font size compared to the one used in the default profile picture.

User pictures in Settings > Users (5.22)

Now the default user picture is flat, but the ones available in Settings > Users still have the gradient.
