Just a moment...
store.kde.org

EDIT: v0.9 released

and a dark version

I really just put a bunch of pieces together. Forked from Reactionary Plus, but swapped out the icons, cursors, window decorations, color scheme, and made some slight tweaks to the layout.

More screenshots and changelogs here: https://store.kde.org/p/2330858

To install this, open System Settings, go to Colors & Themes -> Global Theme. In the top right there’s a button for “Get New…”, wait for it to load (it’s very slow) then search for reactionary, and wait again, then install Reactionary 98.

This is my first time messing with any of this stuff, it was a bit janky lol.

    I’d spend some time in Gimp to make a custom start icon with the text on it

    Yea you can’t add text to that button (EDIT: I was wrong, doing this for v0.8), but embedding the text into the icon image is a good idea, maybe I’ll do that today (if it can handle non-square images)

    and I gotta figure out a proper size for the taskbar, just need to compare the padding size relative to the text size

    I’d add a line of shading around the top and side of the taskbar and the buttons, and figure out how to retheme the notification panel to be the same shaded color so it appears depressed into the bar.

    idk if this is possible from a theme

      I just saw your v.8 update that looks sick! I agree the noti-panel stuff may not be possible with just a theme on Plasma, about half of my customization experience is with lxqt and not plasma so I forget what is possible where sometime.

        Thanks! Yeah I mean worst case scenario, technically someone could program a replacement widget, but it’d have to be someone else, cause I think that’s more work than I want to put into this lol
