> Frankly, why? I was answering to your statement that they don't put any thought on visual design. These guidelines are part of their thoughts about this. These guidelines are not for your grandmother to read, unless she is a KDE developer. Gnome also has human interface guidelines [1]. They also put a lot of thoughts in their UIs. Now, maybe this particular screen could use some improvements (though I don't see how in the screenshot you link the right part is not aligned with the left part, there's a visible horizontal line materializing this alignment by the way), and many others too. I don't think this one is that bad. Anyway, you don't need to visit this screen and tweaks the settings in it if you don't need this kind of customization. The defaults are descent. Gnome probably does not even have settings for this (and that's fine). That does not take anything out of your feedback, that's the kind of stuff KDE developers need. Overall my point is, you don't like design choices of KDE, or that they haven't managed to simplify everything / fix visual bugs yet, I can't argue with this. I understand your stance on the fact UIs should be opinionated and choose for you. That's a different philosophy that I car hear. Just, do not state they haven't put thoughts on this, because that's false. [1] https://developer.gnome.org/hig/ https://developer.gnome.org/hig/
