KDE: Microsoft has blatantly copied us in Windows 11, and as a result, people are starting to see Plasma as a cheap clone of Windows again. (...) Making the panel float by default provides an immediate visual differentiation from Windows 11 and we hope this will help jolt users’ brains out of “ew, it’s slightly different from Windows 11” mode and into “wow, this is new and cool and I wonder what’s in it” mode.https://pointieststick.com/2023/05/11/plasma-6-better-defaults/Microsoft:Microsoft is preparing to launch Windows 12 (...) with several new design ideas, including a new desktop experience with a ‘floating’ taskbar. Microsoft wants to create a floating effect for the taskbar by separating it from the desktop and rounding off the edges.https://www.windowslatest.com/2023/07/02/windows-12-microsoft-quietly-hints-at-next-gen-windows/💀

@tendstofortytwo KDE actually never looked like a Windows. The ideas KDE had for design was always lying on the surface of that time. But everyone were saying that KDE copies Microsoft design.

@tendstofortytwo I don't understand why UI designers constantly feel the need to rework stuff that works, the taskbar is fine as is, it doesn't need to be floating. It needs to be visually non disturbing and make me see at a glance what is open and allow me to switch there.Go and actually fix the broken stuff please, leave the good things alone 🙃

@joepie91 @tendstofortytwo yeah, like the whole idea of "you can slam your mouse cursor into the bottom left corner of the screen and click and you can be certain you'll open the start menu" is such a slam dunk, i don't know why they decided to get rid of that in favor of centered elements and a floating taskbar

@tendstofortytwo they would need to rewrite whole accessibility stack.as it's buggy and causes crashes.I would rather use dos than linux, in it's current form.

@pax @tendstofortytwo In that regard linux kinda is somewhat stuck in a bad loop. Not a lot of visually impaired people are on linux meaning companies like nuance have no incentive in releasing their product for linux as well as many linux developers just lack awareness of what is needed for accessible software. Which in turn causes less visually impaired to make the move or even have the ability to make it, continuing the loop

@tendstofortytwo the funny thing is that i mimicked the win11 desktop in kde, but coincidentally kde is much better at it as you can actually use the left side of the panel for something. Additionally kde's application menus beat the shit out of the win11 start menu.10/10 would mimick the shit put of win11 again

@tendstofortytwo honestly, I appreciate the copying in both directions. KDE and Windows are similar enough that I can dual boot and not have to adjust anything. Even obscure keyboard shortcuts are the same! There's definitely inspiration flowing both ways there and I hope KDE isn't making any decisions just to differentiate from Windows.

@tendstofortytwo tbh as mainly a Windows user... I just want my taskbar to remain as is. I don't know who MS appeals to with changes to it, but everytime MS changes something on the task bar first I do is go to taskbar settings and turn it back to behave like Win 7.And when I use a GUI Linux I also just want a good old Win XP or 7 style taskbar 😅

@tendstofortytwo wish they could troll Microsoft and change the defaults to look like KDE 4, which had a style somewhat similar to win7 Aero.(yes, I miss Aero)

@tendstofortytwo Microsoft were always parasites, and Bill Gates the biggest tick of all. They produce little to nothing that is original and were always adept at stealing from others.

@anemone @tendstofortytwo My kingdom for a trustable macOS + yabai. Not even necessary the kernel or frontend, just the document paradigm, top bar, dock, and some tiling thrown in for good measure.

@tendstofortytwo Personally I don't really see what Windows 11 is supposed to have copied from Plasma. There are Linux things I see, like the rounded corners, but that's more of a Gnome thing. To be fair, I didn't spend that much time with W11, so maybe there's something that's less noticeable at a glance. As for Plasma being a Windows copy, I'm pretty sure that's always been the case by design. But it's never been a cheap copy, it took the best elements of Windows UI and improved upon them, while scrapping ideas that were worthless or bad.
