Created attachment 154526 [details] Original UI and proposals Plasmashell 5.27 builtin tiling pattern selection design problem So according to screenshots provided by Nate in his wonderful "This Week in KDE" blog the new tiling feature interface currently looks like 00-original.png (see archive). For me it looks more like a prototype interface (as I know this feature already landed so it may the final look). It looks weird when you have a button that just takes additional space without any kind of separation. It just breaks feeling of elements being centered. I think this interface would better look like 01.webp or 02.webp or 03.webp or 04.webp or anything in that direction or even something completely different if you ask a real designer to do that. Generally it's some kind of a KDE curse in general to have a real bad designer decisions, for me it's the main problem of KDE and the main factor that stops my friends from using Linux.
So you want the chooser popup to move its close button on a header or a footer, as though it were a pseudo-window? Honestly those mockup screenshots look worse to me. I doubt this is the issue keeping people from moving to Plasma. :) VDG folks, what do you think?
