I was able to force LibreOffice Writer into light mode by editing this line to the libreoffice-writer.desktop file found here
/home/USERNAME/.local/share/applications/
You can see your available theme names here
/usr/share/themes/
Orig :
Exec=libreoffice --writer %U
Edit :
Exec=env GTK_THEME=Breeze libreoffice --writer %U
NOTE THIS HAD TO BE CHANGED ON 2 DIFFERENT LINES
For my job I have many windows open across multiple desktops and I often need to get back to a window on a different desktop quickly, or pressing ALT+Tab isnt a good option because I have 5+ windows open.
In KDE system settings search for 'shortcut' then click Add New button > 'Command or Script' and use a command like this
kdotool search --name slack windowactivate
After that click 'add custom shortcut' button and press the keyboard combo you want.
Ran into a weird issue today - suddenly Brave and Vivaldi refuse to open. Same for Brave Beta. Running from the command line I see something like this

I fixed this by chance by going into the KDE settings > Appearance and changing everything back to Breeze. And under 'Application Style' on the bottom right I clicked 'Configure GNOME/GTK Application Style' and changed that to Breeze (it was blank before). Did not have to reboot and all browsers launch ok now. Did have a slight delay with Vivaldi but it seems ok.
On one of my laptops in Gimp the text has this weird teal color on the anti-aliasing part. If I turn off anti-aliasing the text color is normal.
The text itself is white, but because the tint around it is not, it makes the text look not-white. I tried resetting Gimp to default, this didn't help. I uninstalled Gimp and tried to delete all files in /home/.config - then rebooted and installed fresh. This did not seem to help either.
The fix seems to be go to Image > Precision change to 32 bit. Before it was on 8 bit. I have no idea how or why. This was happening on brand new images, not some old / existing image that was set to 8 bit incorrectly.
