10 After the 1.2.1 update, I have no personal criticisms. Does its job, and fits flush in both panels and docks! Many thanks to the developer! :) I can finally play games at 5fps and KNOW it's not KDE's fault. haha. (seriously, many manually installed Wine games have resolution issues that a user might not even realise, so this applet helps a lot). PS: if using a dynamic light-dark theme (esp. with Latte), make sure to check that the icon is set to compositing on or off (depending on what ends up working for you). Thanks again! Much easier than having to "hope" that a full-screen game has been detected or manually disabling compositing yourself every time.

Apparently after changing my last rating, the dev's replies faded out of the space-time continuum, much like my will to manually change compositing settings myself! In response to those: you're welcome and I'm sure this applet is used more than you realise. People tend to go out of there way to complain about what bothers them, in contrast to expressing what they like. So there's that. I tend to come on here at the darkest, coldest hours of the dawn and say nice, yet weird things for my own amusement. But enough of my self-indulgence... I wasn't aware that the libraries and documentation to get the icons to change correctly also had faded from the fabric of existence. Makes sense now, there's so many icons that just go completely white or black and lose all meaning and leave us and our DE of choice to shame.. I'm kidding, but it does go too hard, would be good if the maintainers added a bit of transparency with the black/white overlay or something. I noticed this with both the png and svg icons I make, but I assumed it was just to due to some additional config I wasn't aware of. Anyway, I've gone on. Size fits flush with everything now, cheers!! ^_^

Now I request.. demand an update that adds "4K composite blocking", then "negative composite blocking that includes code so efficient all games run at infinite FPS". Don't stress! I'll send you some Doritos and Mountain Dew as compensation and to keep you going strong during your sleepless crazy h8ckaman binge. Good luck.
