"Great design is serious, not solemn."
KDAB designer Nuno Pinheiro shares his experiments with theming in QML. It's a working prototype with real transparency, a texture lit by a light that follows the cursor, and buttons that deform when you press them. It started as Inkscape mockups and was built with Shape and MultiEffect.
He also asks how much room frameworks should leave for ideas that don't fit today's conventions.

Happy Birthday @kde, der Linux- und Unix-Desktop KDE feiert 30. Geburtstag. Wir gratulieren mit einem Artikel
i remember that i was quite militaristic when it came to my "philosophy" of how things should work and at best apply to the rest of the world. so linux i.e. kde were exactly my cup of tea. in 2026, linux and kde on all machines and i am still as militaristic as before! :D what a qt (haha!) documentary about a german/norwegian love story! #linux #kde #qt
Today #KDE turns 30. On 14.10.1996 Matthias Ettrich asked for programmers to build a #GUI for normal people, and almost three decades later I run #Plasma on #ArchLinux every single day. 🙃
What I like most is that the project survived its own mistakes. #KDE4 in 2008 scared many users away, but it laid the ground for #Dolphin, #Okular and the #desktop I use now. Plasma 6.8 finally completes the move to #Wayland.
For the birthday the #KDEeV asks for 1996 supporting members and runs a "30 for 30" #environment contest. Funded by small community donations, no corporate owner, and that is exactly why #FreeSoftware matters to me. 🤜🤛
HAPPY BIRTHDAY @kde 🎂
