Created attachment 135045 [details] Screenshots SUMMARY New Breeze theme looks awesome but there is a minor detail that I find a bit annoying, specially with Breeze Dark. It feels to me that there is an extra and not needed line between the menu bars and the rest of the application. I attach a few screenshots to make my point.
This is an intentional design aspect; we added a separator between the area with toolbars + menubars (which we call the "tools area") and the rest of the window content. Without this separator, it would look strange having the top area be a different colour from the rest of the window.
Yup, what she said. ^^
Okay, I see. Still, is this open to discussion before the release of final Plasma 5.21? At lest, I think a different color should be used. In breeze dark, that white separator is really distracting, and I still think it makes no sense in most applications. Can you let me know, in what file is this separator defined so I can play a bit with it in Breeze dark and propose alternatives? Thanks.
Also, I don't think this extra bar look like what was discussed in https://phabricator.kde.org/T10891 Note that in all those mockups, yes, there is a separator line but it is not doubled.
What you're calling a doubled line is an artifact of some apps' main views still being inside a frame. This is something we plan to fix in Plasma 5.22. But the separator line stays, sorry. :) As for its color, there is a faction in KDE's visual design group that prefers dark-colored separators when using a dark theme. I happen to be in that group. I think it would look great. We haven't reached a consensus yet though.
Yeah, okay, you are right that those two lines are different things. Hope theme continues improving over Plasma 5.22. I guess I will get used to it after a few days.

> What you're calling a doubled line is an artifact of some apps' main views still being inside a frame. This is something we plan to fix in Plasma 5.22. But the separator line stays, sorry. :) So this artifact will continue to be displayed for nearly four months until the 5.22 plasma launch? It's annoying to watch a maximized video with this white line on top of the screen.

The line is not supposed to be visible in full-screen windows with nothing above it. Can you file a separate bug report for that? Thanks! I'll make sure it gets addressed.
I already did: 431969 was marked as a duplicate of this one.
