Hello! Im having troubles with installing a theme for KDE Plasma: dolphin doesnt seem to react.
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

Good Light KDE Plasma Theme?
not really a theme but I recently enjoy lightly
-
two things missing in KDE? "real" vertical panel, title bar only around the corner
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.

Helpp !!! Title bar issue

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

Updated Edna Light
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.

Can't use Lightly with KDE 5.24.4
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.

kde tilling features needs some attention
That's exactly what happens. Bismuth was a fork of Krohnkite. If someone needs Bismuth enough, they will pick it up, fork it or whatever.

KDE VS GNOME
No idea what exactly that shell does but in KDE krohnkite https://github.com/esjeon/krohnkite was pretty popular until it was somehow superseeded by bismuth https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth (which forked krohnkite or was inspired by or whatever) and now with Plasma 5.27 there's initial work on a native tiling window manager including a whole new API for people to build upon, and which can be accessed with Meta+T.

Is there a way to install Kwin - Bismuth on my steam deck in a way that doesn't make my head hurt?
You can use Kronkite just fine. Bismuth is a fork of it, and their feature-sets are practically the same.

Are there options for dynamic window tiling in a traditional desktop environment?
Do you know how that differs from https://github.com/esjeon/krohnkite it seems like that is another tiling extension.
