System styling: KDE

[boredsquirrel]

This package to replace the SDDM theme manually. This is currently not possible.

Other problems:

• [ ] unifying the breeze cursor (Brave, toolboxapps?)
• [ ] allow removing of old themes (currently not possible in GUI?)
• [ ] maybe change the font
• [ ] #55
• [ ] remove the start screen? Makes system faster, ugly KDE loading stays anyways
• [x] #56

For disabling the plopping sound, it is at /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/audio-volume-change.oga ,but read-only.

I can also not write in /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.volume/contents/ui/main.qml/ and comment out property bool volumeFeedback: Plasmoid.configuration.volumeFeedback

Its possible in the GUI somehow...

Fonts:

#1. Download from somewhere
wget  blablabla -P ~/.local/share/fonts

#2. 
unzip ~/.local/share/fonts/msfonts.zip && rm ~/.local/share/fonts/msfonts.zip

# 3. maybe create hardlinks between the flatpak location and others, but this should be enough

# the Font location is already linked to the "Tools" folder, which is pretty useful.

the whole /usr/ as well as other locations are user read-only, only /etc/ and /var, as well as /sys can be tweaked as far as i know.

This package to replace the SDDM theme manually. This is currently not possible.

Other problems:

* [ ]  unifying the breeze cursor (Brave, toolboxapps?)

* [ ]  Installing Adapta Theme (optional)

* [ ]  allow removing of old themes (currently not possible in GUI?)

* [ ]  maybe change the font

* [ ]  add MSFont (I can deal with that, as its problematic to host and Torrents are dead)

* [ ]  maybe add "Pixel perfect" icon theme, for HDPI screens

* [ ]  remove the start screen? Makes system faster, ugly KDE loading stays anyways

* [ ]  Allow removing of start screens

aren't these, except point 1, excessive modifications tho? since shouldnt we leave appearance customization to user?

SDDM styling: using layered "sddm2rpm" packages could this be possible

toolbox enter 
git clone https://github.com/Lunarequest/sddm2rpm.git
cargo install --path ~/sddm2rpm/
sddm2rpm

Question: all the needed packages for building rust are probably better off in a toolbox / distrobox right? The RPM can then be layered of course, to allow overwriting the SDDM theme.

not needed even toolbox is not, cargo install the packages somewhere in $HOME not in /usr. Then we can install the built rpm with rpm-ostree.

about 1, does the cursor in toolbox really different from the system? I've tried kinoite, but never noticed the difference of cursor in toolbox and system.

[boredsquirrel]

this was only because cargo and dependencies are not preinstalled.

distrobox enter fedora --exec cargo add sddm2rpm

printf """
export PATH=/var/home/user/.cargo/bin/:$PATH""" >> ~/.bashrc

[iaacornus]

kde team admitted the loading splash screen is useless and may be deactivated by default in the future. better would actually be to cover all the element loading and moving.

printf """[KSplash]
Engine=none
Theme=None""" > ~/.config/ksplashrc

This should work, its set like that when disabled.

tracked in #47

[iaacornus]

addition of msfonts, removal of old themes, and removal of start screen options are good idea to me, rest are not really needed especiall adapta theme

[iaacornus]

already tracked in #38 , im closing this now
