Those who have used the Chakra GNU/Linux distribution before know that it comes with a specially crafted, in-house built theme for the KDE Plasma 5 desktop environment, called Heritage. We don’t even know when was the last time Chakra devs updated the theme, so the time has come for a refreshed version. What users will notice after they update the theme is a lighten up effect with blur for the application launcher, the window previews, as well as the system tray item popup. Additionally, there’s a unified color used for plasmoids, a more transparent panel, Breeze icons everywhere, and an improved SDDM login screen that also uses the Breeze style.
