Lightly VS LightlyShaders

The git repository link for Lightly

The Instructions are in this repo: https://github.com/catppuccin/kde I also had to install Lightly for a better look.

I'm using Artix Linux with KDE Plasma, trying to install a theme named "Red pastel", which requires lightly to work. I've installed lightly, installed red pastel, and my dolphin seems to not react to red pastel properly: folder icons arent red, half of dolphin is not red. Im trying to fix it for a long time alreadly but im out of ideas. Please, help :( Link to red pastel: https://www.pling.com/p/1691426 Link to lightly: https://github.com/Luwx/Lightly

not really a theme but I recently enjoy lightly

The ones I know of are: Aurorae (built-in one), Kvantum (https://github.com/tsujan/Kvantum/tree/master/Kvantum) and Lightly (just a theme https://github.com/Luwx/Lightly). store.kde.org is down (at least I can't access it at the moment), so I've shared github links.

To have something decent you can use lightly

It appears as if lightly has not been updated in quite some time, with lingering PRs.

The plasma theme has a slight transparency. In windows and applications it depends on the style of applications you use, the kvantum theme has transparency, the color-schemes for the breeze style do not have transparency. In the screenshot I am using Lightly and I added transparency to the color-schemes.

My KDE version is 5.24.4 I've installed Lightly from github. Tried different combinations and then installed manually. But none of the methods work. When I try to choose Lightly from System Settings I got error.

There is a fork of LightlyShaders at https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders which sort of works on Wayland from git master but not as well as it used to on previous KWin versions.

Not so straightforward setup but here you go: - Plasma theme: Modified lightly-plasma - Application theme: this fork of Lightly - Window decoration: Klassy - Window rounded corners: (LightlyShaders KWin effect)[https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders/] - Wallpaper - Plasma and everything else colors: kde-material-you-colors

This is the best fork I think https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders

Well there are things like https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders which come close.

Check out https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders Currently using the v2.0 branch of that desktop effect in combination with https://github.com/kupiqu/SierraBreezeEnhanced and here is how my desktop looks right now: https://imgur.com/a/Mb52FkL

I use this Desktop Effect (Lightlyshader) for my rounded corners, the only problem is, it does not play nice with many other Desktop effects(Wobbly, Magic Lamp, etc), so test it and see what break or doesn't.

You may want to give LightlyShaders KWin effect a try and see how it compares to kde-rounded-corners effect.

how is it different from: https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders

I was using https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders for rounded corners and it appears to have stopped working after the update. Can anyone confirm or is it just for me?
