This looks like you’re on a great course. There’s still a lot of work to do on the apps, but the shell is visually taking great shape! What was once a massive eye sore now looks pretty damn nice (especially the nav buttons, finally) and ready! This is a nice course. Please keep moving in that direction. Hopefully this also signifies a move to greater care for UI in general, i.e. more considerations regarding UX and fixing UI glitches. Exciting stuff. With KwinFT now using wlroots and this course continuing, Plasma could be a really great DE in a few years.

This looks much better. If I may suggest some improvements: * The UI could be more consistent, some windows (Elisa, AudioTube) have blurred backgrounds, but most don't * The icons look dated because of the 3D shapes I think as it is, this targets an extremely niche audience who might not care for these things. I know this would be much more persuasive for me with a slick UI, being able to run desktop class apps on a mobile sized device would be awesome.

  It's not that we don't care about UI and UX, the problem is that there are less than 10 active developers working principally on this and none of us is working on it full time since most of us is either student or has a full time job. It's the unfortunate fate of most non-corporate backed open source projects.

    I understand, it’s a great effort and I wish you success! What phone can I use this on?
