9 Very good. It’s a pity that newly minimized applications do not stand out in any way on the taskbar. So I use the desktop theme from this theme https://store.kde.org/p/1499884
10 One of the best and most harmonious dark theme for plasma, and the gnome version is equally good.

9 Congratulations, this is one of my favorites! But I need to report two glitches: (1) the "applications" icon in the bottom of the new launcher/menu is badly resized; (2) the close "x" button on the notification balloons is too big and ends up hiding the circular timer around it. PS: Mgła is good, but try listening to ColdWorld. \m/(>_<)\m/
Thank you for the kind feedback and thank you for the music suggestion. The applications icon in menu is already fixed. I have however not uploaded the update to opendesktop.org. You can grab the latest version from the project's page (https://gitlab.com/pwyde/monochrome-kde) using the installer script. Regarding the second issue... Yes, I am aware of this. I am working on a complete re-design of the theme which will address this issue including more. Unfortunately progress is slow at the moment. Hence I cannot give an ETA on it.
10 Excellent theme! It would be nice to see a light version of this theme.
Thank you! I can't promise a light version of the theme. I am not as passionate about light themes since I feel a huge discomfort in my eyes from them.

Why does your theme not uninstall? That is a problem! Where is all the icons for applications, used in Manjaro KDE? This is an issue. It would be a great theme if it worked? Thanks
Hi! Here is the rather late and long explanation. The global theme file (.../plasma/look-and-feel/com.gitlab.pwyde.monochrome-kde/metadata.desktop) has Papirus icons set as a dependency. Hence it will automatically download the Papirus icon theme from https://store.kde.org/p/1166289 The issue is that the icon theme must be installed using a install script, which will of course not be executed automatically when downloaded by Plasma. Please see the project page as stated in the description above: https://gitlab.com/pwyde/monochrome-kde Issues/questions/suggestions are better handled by creating an issue on the project page. Also available on GitHub if that is preferred: https://github.com/pwyde/monochrome-kde

Man, I tell ya what. I was looking for this sort of color theme as I just switched to Plasma. Nice instructions for noobs like me. I gotta say, it looks so good with orange folders. Great job man. Also, any chance to share your wall above? Thanks.
10 Simple and easy on the eyes.
