I always thought they were so ugly—holdovers from 
KDE2, likely. I am so glad they finally got rid of 
them. I tried for years to get rid of them and the 
best I could come up with was to settle for the plain 
background with the horizontal bar. And, guess what! 
The horizontal bar is what we now have in KDE5! :-) 
Progress LOL! This horizontal bar actually tells you 
something, since it has steps and they are all 
completed, or else something didn't load. I remember 
Windows XP, I think, that had the most infuriating 
horizontal bar in existence: it just kept on moving 
from left to right and back again to start anew, so 
you never knew where you were or if anything was 
happening LOL!!
