I guess now I'm wondering what the goal of the KDE spin is then.
Does the
KDE SIG want to provide what upstream gives, or what they think is best for
user experience with a KDE flair? If it's the former then why do we ship a
non default KDE theme? Because that definitely isn't "what upstream
provides."
Has there been anything in the default Fedora themes, other than starter
icon, splash and wallpaper, that differs from upstream? If yes, I've not noticed.
Upstream provides Breeze-- full stop.
Full stop good! Breeze is KDE's first and only default theme I can remember
objecting to. Its kaleidescope splash/wallpaper is childish & creepy, while
its monochrome remainder is poor in A11Y/U7Y aspects, no white, and apparent
black isn't even close to genuine black where used for text, emulating
widespread awful current web styling.
