<p>But simply changing the default and by that adding more frames again as already said by others here is not the right way forward. I personally like <a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/p/abetts/" style="

<p>If we want to go into such a direction in general (i.e. in Breeze, Plasma and Apps and above all the HIG) this needs to be discussed in the VDG. It should also become part of <a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/T7983" style="background-color: #e7e7e7;

What I mean by that is: this needs to be discussed on a more abstract level being valid for all KDE software with modern Ui and a concrete decision then deduced.</p>
