I saw that too, and it cast a gloom over the rest of my day. I intend to stick with KDE-4 until some more sensible themes become available in Plasma 5, so I hope someone will be keeping an archive of KDE-4 somewhere, as in the earlier case of KDE 3 -> 4. Last time I searched for Plasma 5 themes (or design methods, in case I might be able to create my own) I came up empty handed. My objection to the available one is that it's just ugly: acres of wasted space everywhere, and great blocks of solid colour, some of which are actually buttons without looking like them. Nothing subtle or sophisticated about it at all. If anyone can point me to a better theme I'll be grateful. -- Rgds Peter
