No, I haven't, I don't have a good refactoring tool, and I haven't yet figured out what needs to be changed to make it show up as a different theme without breaking it.

I now found a way to properly install it onto KDE neon, now a fully working guide is on the readme if you're still interested:

Because it works like that, but in the traditional way, not all corners are rounded, and there's no margin in the bottom.

That would represent my programming knowledge pretty great at the moment

I was thinking about „darkly”, or something like „nightly”, but I like your „bulb” idea, it's funny

I'll try renaming it, but it probably is a long process, until that, please help me choose a name

I was thinking about „darkly”, but that's a great one too

What distro do you have?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Because the programming language I actually know is python, in c++ I'm currently barely above the „hello world”-level. It also annoys me, but at the moment I haven't yet figured a way out to align it properly, as soon as I do, I'll promise that I will align it

It seems like most people don't like it, especially on reddit, where they even seem to hate it.

Thanks! If you can help spread the word about it or find contributors, please help, because I almost know nothing about c++, and this attempt of revival is made with the hope that if I allow more commits than boehs, the project will stand back on it's own feet

 

Plasma 6 has introduced rounded corners for the panels. I have a similiar idea, basically the same but in a very different way.

Rounded corners for the desktop. Instead of rounding the corners of the panel, there could be an option to round the corners of the desktop. The panel here is viewed as a background object, and the focused object that pops out is the desktop, which is a rectangle, with sharp uncomfortable edges at the moment.

This could be a new and unique way of viewing the desktop, and we could be once again be one step ahead of the windows designers if the rumours about windows 12 are true. There are 1 or 2 third party little projects already trying to achieve this or a similiar effect, but there aren't any major implementations.

Achieveing this effect could be best done in my opinion with an extra included svg with plasma themes, because this does not fit all styles, and the user should also be able to turn it of, because some might find this annoying. The effect should be turned on only for the corners that have panels touching them, and in fullscreen, it should hide with the panel.

The program I'm using to achieve this effect has the problem of it not allowing clicks trough even in the transparent area, but this has only caused one button to be slightly harder to be clicked in one application, and that is gimp if it's maximized(not full screen) and has the smallest icons enabled, so if it doesn't cut too big of a portion off the screen, all programs could run perfectly fine without any modification.

This could be a very good thing for thememakers, and it can be done with very little code and almost no bugtesting, and no compromises.

About Lightly (lemmy.kde.social)
 

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?
