I agree with @BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online a lot here.
I think a color scheme solves a lot, but the color gradients etc. are still gone.
What is your favourite non-white light theme, best for Plasma 6?
Please add a screenshot!
Modern light themes (white on white) suck. What is your favourite Plasma Theme?

This was the peak of light themes. Nothing is pure white except the parts with lots of text that needs to be very clear.

Agreed. Anyone got a KDE screenshot from that era?
I have to say I like this one
Early KDE design was so weird, like transparency and Windows 95-ish rest? For sure!

kde can still look like that too:
i really hope oxygen does get ported to plasma 6, and not dropped like the air theme has been
i must say though, as much as i prefer the look of light themes usually, i think dark themes are objectively[^1] better unless you're in bright sunlight: images and video aren't affected by themes, so dark themes put the focus on the media, whereas light themes can wash them out

I heard you like Windows 7... 😉 :
Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg · 6 pts · 2y
That's like the uncanny valley of Windows 7. So very close but not quite the same.

Yes. I would like a theme based on the same principles as Windows 7 style, but not trying to minic the same look.

I use Breeze Dark. All the white in light themes hurts my eyes after a little while.

Yes but I found that I need to increase display brightness overall to have the same readability. So I switched back

I use Magna Dark
