Design System Progress – November 2025
For the past few weeks, we have been working on a few areas around the design system for Plasma. Keep in mind that I am only speaking of the graphic side, not code. Work is ongoing with the Union engine and the team is focused on replicating our current Breeze style using Union.
There have been talks about creating the first components based on the design system, but that is more in the future.
Meeting with PenPot
We held a meeting with the PenPot team and Pablo Ruiz, their CEO, met with us to discuss new changes in the PenPot app. This was a follow up to their recent conference PenPot Fest.

GNOME ☛ Christian Hergert: Status Week 46
Ptyxis
More back and forth on people who have issues with diacritics and ibus interaction. It’s extremely frustrating at times because the two places where stuff like this gets reported first is the text editor and terminal, when rarely those two applications have anything to do with the issue.
In this case we might have a workaround by being a bit more explicit about focus grabs.
