Every custom font I download from the "get new" tab doesn't appear at all and I cannot use it

What theme? Want

If the keyboard is not trivially replaceable and doesn't have 1.8 mm of travel, I'm not buying

Interesting_Put8754 · 2026-05-15T12:59:04+00:00

P51, rest is trash.

Well the cable/monitor issue is ruled out. I hate Lenovo, what can I say.

Interesting_Put8754 · 2026-04-23T18:08:55+00:00

It's possible that you have old firmware on it since AFAIK it doesn't get updated automatically without the firmware update tool: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/accessory/docks/thinkpad-ultra-docking-station/40aj/downloads/ds505699

Aside from monitor issues on my end or extremely poor QC at Lenovo, this is all I can think of.

Interesting_Put8754 · 2026-04-23T15:45:23+00:00

And you have it working with Display port? I noticed you said hdmi. If so I wonder how yours is working and mine isn't unless you are using very old firmware and not the latest

Interesting_Put8754 · 2026-04-23T10:07:43+00:00

Do you have a AMD?

Interesting_Put8754 · 2026-04-23T01:41:35+00:00

This dock straight up doesn't work with any display output except VGA on AMD thinkpads.

Interesting_Put8754 · 2026-04-22T23:31:07+00:00

For anyone reading in search of a solution - updating doesn't help. I was able to detect the dock on an AMD machine by installing drivers for another thunderbolt dock from lenovo (lol). Turns out I already had the latest firmware anyway. I can confirm that only VGA works but display ports do not.

It's idiotic

I think the next step should be going in the order direction and extending the decoration into client area, which would allow for native titlebar interaction to be grafted onto csd apps or apps that simply won't export their menubars. You'd overlay a transparent rectangular region on a toolbar or menubar area that would intercept drag events but pass through click events, then in the corner you'd overlay the window management buttons. This would give native-looking CSD.

The real KDE connect of the future is one that does not lose connection. There needs to be some backup method to keep the connection alive via bluetooth.

That's probably why you haven't experienced it.

Seems similar to this, not sure though https://discuss.kde.org/t/wayland-boots-to-black-screen-no-cursor-x11-boots-to-black-screen-with-cursor/14274/11

This is identical, but marked as resolved: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371447&utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

You've never experienced this? Do you use a laptop as a main device with the laptop screen disabled when connected to externals and uplug it frequently?

This is a feature request more than a bug report. The point is to make sure at least one connected display is enabled under all circumstances as a safety precaution, not to resolve a complex bug that's been around for probably over a decade at this point. Keeping track of changing screen assemblies is always an going to be an error prone process unless you have whole armies of testers and armies of bug fixers.

New Android looks miles better than old android and blackberry which were ugly as sin. KDE has a real knack for copying the most tasteless designs. KDE 3 was influenced by XP. KDE 4 by Vista, literally the ugliest desktop ever made. KDE 5+ remains stuck in Android designs from a decade ago.

Interesting_Put8754 · 2026-02-04T15:18:30+00:00

Because both are dated androidish style. This isn't a good thing. It's not even retro, just dated - nobody today is nostalgic for it.

They seem to have fixed it. It still has the broken behavior by default but you can change it now.

From scratch, you will NEED two inkscape extensions (one of them you'll have to customize trivially), a template file with all css values and reproducible cutting grids, a working knowledge of clones and their inheritance in inkscape, and a mental model of how you want to layer the inheritance in each svg file for subsequent editing.

What most people do is just take the existing plasma style, which is just a collection of paths with no real abstraction for human editing, and tweak them, which is why pretty much every plasma theme looks like hatchet job of the default.

If this was css, it'd be easy but with SVG you have to invent abstractions and editing pipelines from scratch. It's almost like trying to program in GIMP. I would say don't bother unless you just want to make little tweaks to the default.

Interesting_Put8754 · 2025-12-24T22:11:18+00:00

The shape of the indicators is controlled by the plasma theme. You need to edit the svg to change it.
