✨ Thanks for visiting!

To give you an idea on how this works, I use wpgtk with templates to make setting color schemes across many applications convenient. Each color scheme has its own corresponding GTK and icon themes.

🛠️ Setup

(work in progress)

Note: I just got started ricing back in August so I'm very new to this. I don't guarantee anything to be working as intended.

Set your Global Theme to Breeze Dark before you proceed.

Install the dependencies:

# Use your helper of choice
yay -S latte-dock-git wpgtk-git qt5-styleplugins python-pywal

Clone and copy most of the stuff

git clone https://github.com/ComplexPlatform/KDE-dotfiles

# Copy .local, .config, .themes, and .ncmpcpp to your home directory.
cd KDE-dotfiles/ && cp -r {.local,.config,.themes,.ncmpcpp} ~/

To remove title bars and add active/inactive frame colors, follow this guide

To change your Latte layout, right click on your dock/panel > Layouts > pick your layout of choice.

Extract Icons

cd ~/.local/share/icons/
ls *.xz |xargs -n1 tar -xf

# Delete leftover archives
rm *.tar.xz

wpgtk

Add wallpapers and import color schemes:

# Assuming you're in KDE-Dotfiles directory
# Add wallpapers
wpg -a walls/foggy-mountain_01.jpg
wpg -a walls/coffee.jpg
wpg -a walls/flowers.jpg
wpg -a walls/urban.jpg
wpg -a walls/cherryblossom.jpg
wpg -a walls/neutral.jpg

# Assuming you're in KDE-Dotfiles directory
# Import color schemes
wpg -i foggy-mountain_01.jpg colorschemes/foggy-mountain.json
wpg -i coffee.jpg colorschemes/coffee.json
wpg -i flowers.jpg colorschemes/flowers.json
wpg -i urban.jpg colorschemes/urban.json
wpg -i cherryblossom.jpg colorschemes/cherryblossom.json
wpg -i neutral.jpg colorschemes/neutral.json

Add templates:

# Backups are automatically made just in case something goes wrong.
wpg -ta ~/.config/kdeglobals
wpg -ta ~/.local/share/konsole/wpgtk.colorscheme
wpg -ta ~/.local/share/plasma/desktoptheme/CullaX/colors

Add variables/keywords to the templates:

# Identify the templates` filenames first on ~/.config/wpg/templates
# Replace <filename>.base with yours
# Assuming you're in KDE-dotfiles directory
cd wpgtktemplates
cat kdeglobals.base > ~/.config/wpg/templates/<your_kdeglobals>.base
cat colors.base > ~/.config/wpg/templates/<your_cullax_colors>.base
cat konsole.base > ~/.config/wpg/templates/<your_konsole>.base

Set the color scheme:

wpg -s <scheme>.jpg
# Replace <scheme> with your color scheme of choice.
# For example
wpg -s Flowers.jpg

Unfortunately, you have to set your wallpaper manually.

If you're using Spicetify with Dribbblish, run the following:

xrdb -merge ~/.cache/wal/colors.Xresources
spicetify config color_scheme pywal
spicetify apply

Set Plasma theme

System Settings > Plasma Style, set it to CullaX.
System Settings > Application Style, set it to gtk2. Click Configure GNOME/GTK Application Style..., set the GTK2 and GTK3 theme your theme of choice.
System Settings > Icons, set the icon theme to your theme of choice.

To remove the titlebar buttons:

System Settings > Application Style > Window Decorations > Titlebar Buttons, drag the buttons and drop them down to the list.

To change the titlebar size:

System Settings > Application Style > Window Decorations, click the edit icon on Breeze. Change button size to whatever you want.

🍨 Optional Stuff

dunst

You can use dunst instead by renaming KDE's notification service so it gets ignored.

# Make sure dunst is installed beforehand
cd /usr/share/dbus-1/services
sudo mv org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service-disabled

Log out and log back in again to see the changes.
