So when I try to change the defaults of a defaults file inside look and theme folder of that theme and try to replace this part -

[kwinrc][org.kde.kdecoration2]
BorderSize=None
ButtonsOnLeft=
ButtonsOnRight=IAX
library=org.kde.kwin.aurorae
theme=__aurorae__svg__Qogir-dark-circle

to something like this

[kwinrc][org.kde.kdecoration2]
BorderSize=None
ButtonsOnLeft=
ButtonsOnRight=IAX
library=org.kde.kwin.aurorae
**theme=__aurorae__svg__Material**

It's not selecting the material decoration when I change the theme to the one above.

Any way to achieve it? thanks!!

Checkout ~/.config/kwinrc. theme= shouldn't really matter, it's library= that loads the C++ plugin.

There's no guarantee that the user will have material-decoration installed, so it might fall back to breeze.

[kwinrc][org.kde.kdecoration2]
library=com.github.zren.material
theme=Material

Aurorae is the SVG based window decoration plugin bundled in KWin.

Thanks, it's working now. I was trying to make a custom theme for my own usage, so that is the reason.

Also thanks for all the good things you did for KDE
