That's great! (i mean this unironically in case that came off sarcastic)

I'm not a kde contributor myself, but they seem to have a matrix channel for that purpose at [ https://webchat.kde.org/#/room/#new-contributors:kde.org ], where the contributors themselves can probably point you to the relevant resources and get started.

About your second point: From what I've been reading on their blog, a large focus of Plasma 6 is making the defaults more sane and simplifying them a good bit.

It's obviously a huge challenge to design systems that are simple and polished to understand and use on the surface, but powerful to customize underneath, and I'm interested to see how it will be tackled.

Edit: Also on this site [ https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved ] they point to resources for the KDE Visual Design group

Thank you! It will take time, but I will come there eventually.
