My favorite KDE Plasma desktop themes
Today I am going to share my favorite plasma themes along with some recommendations on how to get the most out of their qualities.
G-REMIX
A nice whitey theme with lots of transparency, it is perfect for plain dark backgrounds. It is important to understand that widgets with high levels of transparency don't get along well with busy backgrounds, specially if there is a lot going on below the widget itself. The combination of both usually results in overcrowded desktops that users quickly grow tired of.
The idea is to combine backgrounds and widgets so each complements the strengths of the other. In this case, the background is mostly plain, showing different tones of gray over a subtly textured surface. As can be seen, the dark background helps widgets stand out and their text is legible. On the other hand, the center of the background is busier, so it makes sense to leave it clean so the artist work can truly shine.
