I found the padding changes in 5.21 (and collapsed padding for menu separators) jarring in context menus. I took a different approach by rebuilding the breeze package locally and changing the variables in build():
sed -i 's/MenuItem_SeparatorPadding = 0/MenuItem_SeparatorPadding = 3/g' $pkgname-$pkgver/kstyle/breezemetrics.h
sed -i 's/MenuItem_MarginWidth = 8/MenuItem_MarginWidth = 5/g' $pkgname-$pkgver/kstyle/breezemetrics.h
sed -i 's/MenuItem_MarginHeight = 4/MenuItem_MarginHeight = 3/g' $pkgname-$pkgver/kstyle/breezemetrics.h

Not sure if it’s my system or breeze-gtk, but Firefox and Thunderbird had some really huge paddings on the menu bar, I just downgraded breeze-gtk=5.20 for the time being.
Other then that, it’s been a smooth update (literally - the KWin optimisations are really nice!)
Hi,
I just installed KDE Plasma on one of my machines as a gnome replacement and I really feel like my machine is more responsive. Congratulations to the KDE developers, they do a great job!
I assume because the whole plasma desktop is still build and depending on QT5 there’s no chance to pick them up without forgoing plasma - which isn’t a viable option.
