<p>In case it isn't already too late to voice this:</p>
<p>In my very humble but very serious opinion the desktop version should remain traditionally widget based, not be moved to QML/Quick. Phone UIs can work great ... on phones and tablets (but have been taking serious hits in the post-iOS-7.0 era).</p>

<p>You shouldn't. These are aspects that should remain a function of the local user's taste and choice of theming.</p>
<p>One good reason that probably gets overlooked by many: QML/Quick use different font rendering paths which for me means text mostly looks like sh*** compared to the Freetype/Infinality quality rendering I get just about everywhere else (which to my eyes looks better than text displays on my Mac and MSWin systems).</p>
<p>Users who prefer a phone-UI interface already can use Kube.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>TASK DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/T6854">https://phabricator.kde.org/T6854</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>rjvbb<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>andreask, ognarb, rguinot, januz, amiguel, matheusm, ochurlaud, prh, zhigalin, rjvbb, alex-l, dkurz, alake, mlaurent, abetts, andreaska, flherne, VDG, KDE PIM, dvratil, cblack, arvidhansson, ian, jguidon, hannahk, Pixel_Lime, jraleigh, squeakypancakes, alexde, IohannesPetros, GB_2, trickyricky26, mglb, crozbo, ndavis, firef, skadinna, dvasin, aaronhoneycutt, rodsevich, winterz, vkrause, mbohlender, knauss<br /></div>
