Lightly VS kde-material-you-colors

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.

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

Saw a different example like that some time ago but it was for toggling hiding title bars on maximized windows, so I copied the same structure. If you open the ~/.config/kwinrc you will see the config being edited when you enable/disable the effect in the gui, what way you know which key to change. As for the reload thing I discovered it while working on https://github.com/luisbocanegra/kde-material-you-colors/ :)

I tried to extract the image/color from these wallpapers when I developed the Automatic Material You color schemes generator as you can se here https://github.com/luisbocanegra/kde-material-you-colors/blob/main/src/utils/wallpaper_utils.py but I agree there should be a standardized way of get the current one and if is dynamic having a way to fetch some kind of a snapshot of what is displayed somehow.

You can try https://github.com/luisbocanegra/kde-material-you-colors, is an alternative to Plasma's Accent color from wallpaper which supports Konsole, also Kate (KSyntaxHighlighting) but only partially

Today I released the v0.4.0BETA version that adds piwal support the using material you generated colors. Check the github for more details on how to install/use.

This is a Python program that uses this C# implementation of Google's Material Color Utilities to extract a color from an image and then generate a Material Design 3 color scheme. Which is used to generate both Light and Dark Color Themes for KDE. Details and Arch PKGBUILD in the GitHub repo.
