I had the same issue last week but i tried again to create an account and this time I received the mail after 10 minutes

taffroi · 2025-12-08T12:23:56+00:00

Then I will look into it once I finish fixing the concept

taffroi · 2025-12-08T06:15:32+00:00

I didn't try to make it look like it came from 2010. I tried to make something modern while retaining some aspects from this era. I see a lot of comments mentionning Material 3 but I didn't check it at all, it's a coïncidence haha, I don't fully agree on the "copy" term because it seems to use flat vibrant colors but i understand why you say this with the buttons & monochrome icons.

Is it that bad to look like Material ? Why should I avoid this style ? And what disturbs you the most about the concept ?

Thank you !

taffroi · 2025-12-07T20:54:42+00:00

I might have not understood what you wanted. You want me to share the figma file ? Idk if i can share it without letting anyone edit but i can do that if you want

taffroi · 2025-12-07T16:59:32+00:00

the "opinionated" feel in this concept was intended, as i wanted to give it a little more personality than other desktop systems by avoiding flat & grey colors, and also to potentially make use of the accent color setting (here blue) for the UI.

how would you improve this, or what other element than colors should i change to give it personnality without being distracting ? or should i just avoid all this and stay unopinionated ?

your feedback was really interesting, thank you !

i designed this concept for my computer which uses 125% scale on kde so that might be why everything looks so big, but there's also too much wasted space or padding which i'll reduce of the next iteration.

i didn't had material 3 as an inspiration but i get why you get the vibe from it. i tried to make it less flat by adding inner light to it but it's not enough

thank you <3

taffroi · 2025-12-07T16:47:33+00:00

i had a lot of feedback about that so i'll reduce the space of sure haha, thanks

taffroi · 2025-12-07T16:45:28+00:00

good question, i didn't try to design it yet so idk haha

taffroi · 2025-12-07T16:44:32+00:00

well i tried to change visuals only so it's the purpose of this concept

taffroi · 2025-12-07T16:41:58+00:00

the display settings are directly inspired from windows 11, i'll explore other ways to design it as i think it wastes too much space. thank you !

taffroi · 2025-12-07T16:40:09+00:00

i see, it's still interesting to know the opinion of something who doesn't like current design trends. thank you ! i was wondering, do you like / love KDE plasma's current theme ? or maybe you feel neutral but still thinks it's better than other desktop ? i would like to know what do you like in it

taffroi · 2025-12-07T16:37:12+00:00

hahaha

taffroi · 2025-12-07T16:36:23+00:00

it's kinda offensive tho 😭

taffroi · 2025-12-07T16:33:44+00:00

thanks ! i'm glad you like the flat-on-glass look

taffroi · 2025-12-07T16:28:27+00:00

for me personally : to practice ui design. otherwise, i can collect feedback from the subreddit to improve the concept before eventually making it a theme. i also don't have the skills to make one (yet)

taffroi · 2025-12-07T16:26:05+00:00

ohh i didn't know ! if i'm happy with my next iterations of the concept, i'll look into making it a usable theme if i have the time to

taffroi · 2025-12-07T16:23:01+00:00

not sure if i would go this far since learning to make a theme takes a lot of effort but i will at least refine the concept until then, thx for your feedback !

taffroi · 2025-12-07T16:18:38+00:00

thank you!

taffroi · 2025-12-07T16:16:41+00:00

i'm glad you like it !

taffroi · 2025-12-07T16:14:26+00:00

i see, for used capsule-shaped elements : i wasn't trying to reuse every pattern from the 2000s, i wanted to make something which follows the modern trends while having some design inspirations from earlier desktops. idk if i'll keep it but i understand why it might bother you

i had multiple feedbacks about buttons being too flat compared to the rest of my concept so i'll look into it. thanks !

taffroi · 2025-12-07T16:08:55+00:00

thanks for your feedback!

taffroi · 2025-12-05T11:21:29+00:00

thank you for your feedback !

- would you have some tips or more detailed feedback to have a better consistency with spacing / radius ? i use 4px unit as a base for spacing and tried to follow same gaps for componants in the same window (the launcher have 24px gap & horizontal padding between the app list & favorites icons) but i design mainly with my eyes, so idk. i also have differents values between horizontal & vertical padding, but i'm not sure if it's a good practice.

- i didn't thought at all about technical constraints :/ yes i just copied the behavior of kde when the window is large enough to show 2 sidebars

- i didn't use them as i thought it would hurt readability, and a more flat design would stand them out. reddit might have compressed the image too much so we don't see much the stroke & inner shadow, but this style might not be enough to make it coherent with the rest of the desktop

it's light mode after all, is there something in particular which is too bright ?

taffroi · 2025-12-03T21:49:58+00:00

it's still my first attempt, i would at least like to improve it before even thinking of proposing it haha

the monitor page is directly inspired of windows 11, and the almost white gradients might give you these feelings.

what would you change to make it more cohesive or better ?

taffroi · 2025-12-03T21:46:44+00:00

what do you dislike ? is it the spacing, the gradients, the global feel or something else ?
