I just installed KDE 5 in order to try how one application works on |
11 |
it, and also due to my curiosity. The applications that depend on it: |
12 |
konsole and dolphin, doesn't work well if KDE5 is not itself the one |
13 |
that's running. In dolphin, some icons don't show. konsole also |
14 |
doesn't show some icons when it uses them as its own icon. It seems |
15 |
to be like a problem with rendering stuff that require some services |
16 |
running. This happened before and after I changed appearance |
17 |
settings. I even cleared cache and stuff. Firefox seems to have been |
18 |
affected by it as well. It doesn't show the scroll bar button, and |
19 |
some widget borders looked a little different. Perhaps this is also |
20 |
just about Gtk3, but I'm not sure about it since stuff work when KDE |
21 |
itself is running. |
22 |
|
23 |
KDE5 or Plasma itself seems to have gotten much more responsive and |
24 |
faster compared to the last time it was in 4, but I still find XFCE4 |
25 |
easier to configure to appear and work the way I want a desktop |
26 |
environment should. |

I just downgraded konsole and dolphin for now, and also rebuilt |
29 |
firefox with gtk2. |
