Are you referring to the Qt Widgets inside the window?

Shadowblitz16 commented 3 years ago

I'm just referring to how your screenshots looks. it has transparent widgets, however when I install the global theme mine aren't

To be clear, I'm not the creator of this theme, just a really big fan of it. (;

What you are referring to is probably the Qt widgets theme, which is usually handled by Kvantum. To install a Kvantum theme:

  1. You will first need to install kvantum-manager (Kvantum Manager) from your favorite package manager or software center.
  2. Download the WinSur Kvantum theme from the KDE Store (store.kde.org) and extract it. WinSur Kvantum: Light: https://store.kde.org/p/1373217/ Dark: https://store.kde.org/p/1373644/
  3. Open Kvantum Manager and under "Install/Update Theme" select the extracted folder and Choose "Install this theme"
  4. Switch to "Change/Delete Theme", and from the dropdown menu choose "WinSur-dark" and then "Use this theme". You can then quit Kvantum.
  5. You will only have to do the following once for all Kvantum themes. Under Plasma settings go to Appearance->Application Style and choose "kvantum". Then of course hit Apply.

Congrats! You should have a stylish Qt Widget theme! I know that was a bit annoying. It's my opinion that Kvantum and Latte Dock should ship with Plasma by default and be included in KNewStuff (so that a global theme works on Qt Widgets and Panels as well).

You may also want to change the wallpaper to the provided one by right clicking the desktop and choosing "Change Desktop and Wallpaper".

As for a Gtk+ theme (that's for GNOME style apps, and it's where Firefox is getting it's style right now) for this theme stack, I don't think one exists. I can take another look around and see if there's one that works well, or even generate one really fast with Oomox. That wouldn't be ideal, but it'd be better than Adwaita light (that's what's in your screenshot I think; it's the default Gtk theme).

I can also create a Latte dock layout that mirrors the one in the screenshots if you would like. Welcome to Linux theming and let me know if you have any questions or want any help!

@joshlangley thankyou. So this won't theme all my apps? for example web browser and 3rd party apps like ide's and game engines?

if thats not the case I would rather stick with a opaque theme just because a opaque app on a transparent one might not look very good.

joshlangley commented 3 years ago

Kvantum will only theme your Qt-based apps. However, I can make a Gtk+ theme to go with (which will theme Firefox and many other Linux and FOSS apps, but not Electron apps like Discord or Spotify obviously), and I think it will actually look really nice when put togther. Just give me a day or two and I can try to make it all work.

Shadowblitz16 commented 3 years ago

you don't have to. I use things like jetbrains ide's, discord, godot and unity3D engine I don't think those things would look good on a transparent window.

Welcome. :D

Shadowblitz16 commented 2 years ago

@joshlangley I changed my mind. Can you make a gtk1, 2, 3 and 4 theme to go with this? I want to try it out. Currently it is the best looking theme in my opinion.

Shadowblitz16 commented 2 years ago

Also when people apply the theme it should download and install what it needs to work. So in the case when I install it from kde5's settings->global themes it should install and setup Kvantum and Aurorae and when the theme is disabled it should disable Kvantum.
