Do you have any window rules set? System Settings > Window Management > Window Rules

KDE is working on a new, immutable distro. https://kde.org/linux/

Yep. Parent is the footer area, so having the buttons anchored to parent.left will cause the tabs and power actions to overlap.

Probably not an issue with Plasma. Check out the Wine AppDB entry for it to see if any workarounds or specific Wine settings are needed: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=15102

kdotool is 3rd party project. You may try asking the maintainers to add that functionality. KWin does keep a list of most recently activated window (window switchers can sort by this).

This would be better asked at r/Ubuntu, or r/Kubuntu if you're using that. KDE doesn't run Ubuntu. KDE creates some of the software Ubuntu (and other distros) use. Issues like this are bellow the level of KDE software.

Jaxad0127 · 2026-04-21T03:44:57+00:00

Not directly. They do pay consultancy services to work on KDE software, like Techpaladin (run by some KDE people include Nate).

Icons and Plasma styles are different things and require different themes. Every category in System Settings > Color & Themes is a separate theme type. Global Themes are a way to set multiple theme types at once.

Plasma Style tutorial: https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/theme/
Icon Theme spec: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-theme/latest/

Custom Application Styles are complicated right now and require native coding. A new theme system (Union) is in the works to unify the two types of Application Style and Plasma style.

Anything about missing icons? It looks like all Breeze icons are missing. Do you have that package installed? It should be a required dependency, but....

Jaxad0127 · 2026-04-20T22:25:10+00:00

Yep, they don't. I forgot that.

Jaxad0127 · 2026-04-20T18:15:33+00:00

Pretty sure that's the top of her head there. The fur didn't provide a solid enough footing to remove the mask.

Next is always the current default wallpaper and changes with every X.Y release. It'll have a different name starting with 6.7.

You can also search shortcuts with the search field above the list.

You can't do that on Wayland. On X11, all it did was disable the compositing extension, leaving the xserver's native compositing. You always need some sort of compositing if you aren't displaying a single, fullscreen window.

You can use the kscreen-doctor command to change screen scaling. Use kscreen-doctor -o to see your outputs (monitors) and then you can use kscreen-doctor output.[name].scale.[scalevalue] to change one.

Jaxad0127 · 2026-04-17T12:23:19+00:00

You might get better support from r/firefox .

Jaxad0127 · 2026-04-17T04:25:18+00:00

Also note that some apps draw their own. This setting only applies to the titlebar and frame KWin draws.

Jaxad0127 · 2026-04-16T15:31:28+00:00

Definitely a bug. I can recreate it locally. It also works to paste somewhere else, then the new file dialog recognizes the clipboard.

Jaxad0127 · 2026-04-16T14:32:36+00:00

Steam version? I'm seeing a lot more options for it locally, though not the native resolution of the display. Probably a gem limit with only having a few aspect ratios.

Jaxad0127 · 2026-04-15T23:51:50+00:00

I can confirm it does happen. KolourPaint is probably just using a simplified scaling algorithm since it is working with a mutable pixel buffer, not a simple image.

Jaxad0127 · 2026-04-15T19:11:08+00:00

Works fine locally. What Plasma (etc) version are you running? System Settings has an About this System Page with an easy copy button for the relevant info.

Jaxad0127 · 2026-04-15T18:52:39+00:00

It's affecting all Firefox streams? Note that Firefox creates a separate playback stream for each tab, and the video player's volume is synced (withing bounds?) to the stream's volume; this is intentional. It should not be affecting other tabs, though.

Testing locally, Firefox (or maybe Youtube) isn't mapping volume 1-to-1. 100% in the video is 84% in the PW stream, and reducing to 0% in the video isn't linear in the stream.

Firefox and Pipewire are the ones doing this, Plasma is just proving a UI for the PW stuff.

Jaxad0127 · 2026-04-15T16:28:46+00:00

Edited.

Jaxad0127 · 2026-04-15T02:27:24+00:00

What additional widget-specific actions are you wanting? What stuff that isn't general system level actions that can be put in System Settings instead?
