Hi all,

I wanted to request that we move this topic to the specific channel for it.
Given this relates to UI/US, please come to the VDG channel located here:

https://go.kde.org/matrix/#/#visualdesigngroup:kde.org

kde at mail.kde.org is more of a general inbox and sends messages to a very
wide audience.

Let's work with your specific request through the VDG team.

Thank you.
