    I like it a lot, but I think the name needs a bit of work. It sounds a lot like a breeze ripoff, when in reality it’s more of a tweak

    Thanks!

    I know how stupid this sounds, but I have trouble using or even remembering software until I know how it’s spelled and pronounced. Same with human names, really. Does this rhyme with the English word “eyes,” or “ice,” or neither? Or does it sound exactly like “breeze?”

      In German, BRISE is exactly sounding like English BREEZE and means the same. I don’t know French, but my translator says BRISE means “BROKEN” in French, and being French, I can only assume you pronounce the first few letters, then make a sound like clearing your throat.

        Broken would be “brisé”, not " brise"

        Brise is either “breaks”, i.e. " he/she breaks", or breeze, as in “a light breeze”.

        Also, it’s prounounced breeze in french. Although the r sound is, well, french.

    That theme is awesome! Another step, making Plasma look friendly, modern and useful. It is very similar to macOS but without the weird choices, and not as extreme and bloated as Windows11, keeping efficiency.

    With this, Qt Apps look great! GTK & Libadwaita wastes a ton of space (GIMP 3 looks difficult already), and Qt can show how it is simply a way more practical toolkit here!

    Thank you for this work, it is great!
