For any Breeze haters out there, Lightly lives on: install lightly-qt6-git

Thanks for the info, I’ve been curious about trying Lightly.
By the way, and sorry for going off-topic a bit, but what is that Kvantum theme you have on that screenshot there? It’s beautiful! The one on the bottom right also looks really nice, what is that?

The kvantum theme selected is ‘kvben’. Basically a copied similar theme (can’t remember) with some edits of my own - probably mostly colours, I forget now.
You can modify colours in SVG images by loading them up with Kate editor with colour previews enabled.
So you find kvantum themes /usr/share/Kvantum/
Make a local copy /home/ben/.config/Kvantum/
Take ownership `sudo chown -R ben ~/.config/Kvantum/*
Then modify names, and edit as you see fit.
Right now I included lots of info, but there was an error ‘drafts offline’ so it’s all lost…
So list and find these:
Icons:
Breeze-round-chameleon
Klassy Dark (basically a newer icon, very similar to breeze).
Newaita-reborn-dracula-dark.
Colours: kde-purpose-pastebin-plugin - Pastebin.com
KV themes were copied and edited… best just download mine and see:

You can edit .svg files in Kate and get previews of the colours - compare the text with the Kate shot:
Text:
pagecolor="#00c15a"
bordercolor="#666666"
Now this is an old post, so you might need the new and working version of Lightly…
You can try it by copying (the entire text) and pasting this:
git clone --single-branch --depth=1 https://github.com/Bali10050/Lightly.git
cd Lightly && mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF ..
cd ./kdecoration/config/
make -j 12
cd ../../
make -j 12
sudo make install
