Some of you might know about the lightly qt theme

https://github.com/Luwx/Lightly

https://github.com/boehs/Lightly

And if you know about it, you know support for it in recent times has been questionable. That's what I want to change, but I need someone to help me. I have experinence in similiar stuff, like I have my custom userstyle for firefox (https://github.com/Bali10050/FirefoxCSS), I have a custom animated cursor, custom plasma themes, custom aurorae themes, a custom kvantum theme, custom color themes, and I even made a custom theme for gtk2 when it was a thing(that one is not on the internet, the others can be found at https://www.pling.com/u/bali10050). I have some experience in programming, but it's python, and this project is not, and I also done nearly 0 graphical stuff in that. But, I heard that qt supports css like stylesheets (https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/stylesheet-reference.html) and I can also do some very basic things in c++ and rust. Can somebody help me revive this project, or help me find where to start?

I created a fork today on github, and I started writing a new readme, and I fixed the installation for plasma 6, based on the instructions found in the fork of boehs' issues tab

https://github.com/Bali10050/Lightly

I plan to do this as a side project, and it most likely will depend on others contributions, because I almost know nothing about c++. Luckily Luwx left the project as mostly done, so if we can just maintain it, and help people fix their issues, then the job is done, and if we can make some buttons nicer, or something, then forking it from boehs will become a really great decision, not just a useless splitting of resources.

Great work. I'm going to pin it to my browser and take a look around. I know 0 about C++ (mostly work with C# at work), but hey anything I can do I will do. Thank you.
