    [KDE] New plasma desktop

    Lots of changes some look good, and some meh. I kind of like the contrasting border at the top that we have now.

    Linux since 2008, Kubuntu 20.10
    *ASUS 970 PRO GAMING/AURA AM3+ AMD 970 + SB 950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1
    *AMD FX-8370 with AMD Wraith cooler Vishera 8-Core 4.0 GHz (4.3 GHz Turbo)
    *G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB DDR3 SDRAM -- Asus GEFORCE GTX 1050 TI 4 GB

    So do I, but more importantly, I really hate this going back and forth on non-functional style decisions like that. (A few KDE/Plasma iterations ago, we already had non-contrasting title bars in the default theme, of course.)

    So why is such back and forth bad? Because it makes training and user support a nightmare.

    Casual users (to say nothing of novices) simply don?t know if and when such color changes convey system state. So when all of a sudden title bars no longer stand out, ?all the windows are disabled.?

    Of course, configurability is great ? that?s why we love KDE ? but such changes belong in optional themes and color schemes, NOT in the default look and feel.
