You could always airbrush the logo out and replace with a Z-logo and change the colur scheme to shades of Blue!
Lovely wallpaper, very nice.
@AhavaLeaf I don't know why but looking at ubuntu with blue theme is just weird to me

Yes! Samesies 
Well, been playing around a bit more with MX-Linux KDE and chosen some new settings and colours. The problem with CurvedVolatile and Menu is fine while backdrop is dark/black, but light background, with it having transparency, made the fonts of the menu unreadable, say when Firefox open so here are the new settings!
Global Theme: Colorful-Dark-Global:
Application Style remains as QtCurve:
Plasma Style is now Colorful-Dark-Plasma:
Colour scheme is Colorful-Blue-Dark-Colorscheme:
Window decorations, Colorful-Dark-Aurorae:
Icons are now Magna-Dark-Icons:
Cursors are now Oxygen-Black (most oxygen cursors can go up to 72 pixels as in screenshot):
Splash screen is Colorful-Dark-Global (Neon revolving colours around KDE Logo in middle - the Dark black has concentric repeating circles, looks like a giant loud speaker!}:
Wallpaper is Magna-Logo-Wallpaper-With-Plasma-Logo:
Login screen:

Wow, that looks pretty good. It's making me a little jealous... might switch to it and also give KDE another try 
The Downside to KDE Plasma 5.27 - Firewall does not have a rule for KDE Connect and the only way to get it working is to turn the firwall off! I do like the fact that you can send Texts from the Desktop GUI though! I am going to raise the issue of a lack of firewall rule for KDE Connect on the MX-Linux forum.

Every time I say this, I regret it.
This is present with KDEConnect installed on Zorin OS Lite and I use it when I have a text conversation where a keyboard is much better than tapping that little phone screen.
Just a quick edit making Zorin look like MAC OSX Leopard
Just cuz i wanna. Sorry if ppl find it boring.

To be honest I'm now so used to Gnome and xfce that I'm kinda lazy to learn another workflow when there's no need for it....
Yes! I mean just that mesh trash icon brings me all the way back. I worked hard finding that icon cuz it's been replaced by a more gloss trash icon. So i was happy to bring this all back together.

Just updating on the firewall issue in MX-Linux KDE. I was not the only one to notice this issue!
https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=751267#p751267
So I too have now installed GUFW and added the pre-compiled application rule to allow KDE Connect through the firewall:

Like the conkey can you share the config?

Unfortunately no, my Zorin install is borked at the moment. But if I remember right it was part of a few MX conkeys I borrowed because they actually worked for the most part.
Likely it's because Conky changed the format of the configuration file... if you use the old format (which you can find many examples of with a search), newer versions of Conky tend to puke.
Here's my conky.conf:

I never did get the LUA scripting (commented out above) to dynamically change the update interval working right.
