Description makosol 2022-01-29 19:58:02 UTC 
SUMMARY
The button to quit edit mode doesn't have displayed text next to it. Therefore, it is easy for users, specially beginners, to not spot quickly how to quit edit mode, which is specially frightening as one can totally mess up the desktop not knowing what to do.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open edit mode of Plasma 

OBSERVED RESULT
The button to quit edit mode is just a red cross without text, placed next to others buttons which have well defined text next to them. So the user looks for a way to quit this busy and scary screen but cannot identify it so his stress increases. He may even make a video on YouTube about how messy is KDE (worst case scenario).

EXPECTED RESULT
The quit edit mode button should be way more visible at first sight, maybe even be well visible on it's own (not "hidden" in a toolbar full of others items). At least, give it some text to identify immediately what it does.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE NEON 5.23.5
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version:  5.23.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90
Qt Version: 5.15.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

In the new redesign of the Plasma Edit mode that will land in Plasma 6.1 the button has now text "exit edit mode".
