Akademy 2026 Desktop Icon BoF

I am very late to write this but anyways. But please do the survey. KDE Plasma desktop icons (the actual system that holds the icons, not the .desktop files) is a bit crusty, due to many years of people fixing bugs there. This now causes new bugs in return. So, at Akademy this year I had my own very first BoF around this topic. It was bit of a mess as I have never done a BoF before, but we had a good brainstorm session and I got good feedback. One of the good feedback was that hey, let's ask our users! Thus I made a survey, where I ask questions such as: You have icons on another screen but it gets disconnected Your screen resolution changes Link to the survey: https://survey.kde.org/355778 We want to know what is your opinion on this, so we can get this done better for future. We also discussed the history of the desktop icons. The original system was made in a bit of a rush and it was early times for QtQuick, so there was new things to learn too. This worked "well enough" for many…
