Hello!

Do you hate the watermark preview banner?

Add the text HideDesktopPreviewBanner=true just after [General] in the file ~/.config/kdeglobals. You will have something as the following:

[General]
HideDesktopPreviewBanner=true

Better for OLEDs displays, stylish, auto-suspend all-blacks displays, etc.

Thank you SO MUCH. I installed the nightly version a few weeks ago and this was really bothering me.

It is just for the nightly releases to clarify which version you are working with. Nothing that will come to the stable channel.

I understand this, but i thought KDE has their own design and fonts.

It’s just a weird decision that’s what i mean

AFAIK it is using the system font so I don’t know what the problem is.

How could “tHe OpEnSouRcE ComMunItY” dare to open an issue if there is a problem.

This attitude is stupid and doesnt help the project.
