Are there any good themes for Plasma?
I use Monochrome. Last commit was on March 16th 2021 but it still works. I guess I'll have to switch at some point if some stuff starts to break but I don't like the other themes as much as this one.

Is it worth switching from NVIDIA to AMD GPU?
Broken windows titlebars and widgets after resume from suspend/hibernate, but turns out it's a known issue (thanks to u/Matty_R for mentioning it)). No issue with titlebars if I stick with stock Breeze windows decorations. I'm using Monochrome KDE and it also occurs with Materia KDE. Widgets can be fixed too with that method but it's a hacky workaround.

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
To have something decent you can use lightly

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.
