also, completely empty white space -IS- wasted space. might as well make your apps completely blank dialogs for crying out loud...
and if one app dev codes a shade widget for example and another app dev doesn't, -that- is a broken look and feel even when they are both CSD. SSD helps make looke and feel solid every time. but CSD does not and cannot.Last edited by duby229; 23 October 2019, 01:41 PM.

If that's your idea of wasted space, titlebars are a way bigger waste of space:
Sorry, I have no idea what a shade widget is.
If you're arguing that the only soltion is to expose the titlebar, then -that- is an argument that CSD is a failure as a concept.Last edited by duby229; 31 October 2019, 12:51 AM.

i dont know about lxqt though. do they use kio too?
The wm, for example, is configurable. I prefer to use kwin over openbox, for example, as it doesn't slow my computer, is well maintained and has a lot of features.
So maybe kio can also be used... But it's not default afaik

QUOTE=Vistaus;n1134049]
If you like Plasma so much, then why don't you use the LiquidShell DE on older computers? It's basically Plasma but optimized for older computers.[/QUOTE]
It looks like KDE3!!! Good old days........
Any info about the RAM usage of liquidshell???
Would like to compare it to LXQt...
