How do you make this look nice? I just tried it out for the first time believing the grass was greener, but it's like you need to have 4 different theme applications that are all fighting each other.
>>1101112171) global theme breeze light2) disable floating panelsthat's it
>>110111217>How do you make this look nice?It's an uphill battle of diminishing returns. you can spend about an hour or two with your chatbot to edit config files, but you invariably settle on a C minus setup. it is not worth it. For eye candy use unity ubuntu or gnome ubuntu if you can put up with that.>"but it's close to windows..."it isn't. not since 2005
>>110111217you don'tyou just don'tit's been ass since breeze and hasn't gotten any better
I think it looks nice but you have to be into 2010 era aesthetics
>>110111217Just stop caring. Reminds me of the XP era where every program had its own ugly skin.
>>110111217use GNOME
>>110111217download Ark color scheme in the settingsinstall papirus icons pack from shithub using their scriptdone
>>110111217noctalia + wm of your choice. These new shells handle all the moving parts of a full de already, why even bother with kde or gnome?
>>110111217You can't.>>110115296Yep.KDE is fundamentally ugly. I don't know how they've managed it but no amount of theming fixes it. And if it does, it means installing random code from literal who themers.
>>110116503Can I disable the insanely rounded corners on Gnome? It's the biggest dealbreaker for me in screenshots but. Looks damn ugly but I never tried it out to see if it's toggleable.
I think it looks nice by default (Breeze). I really hope they don't try to """modernize""" it to appeal to phone niggers.
>>110116732i don't get why people act like breeze is absolutely dogshit to look at. the worst part is the default color schemes that sear your eyes and that takes two minutes to fix. right now i'm just using a modified greybird scheme with accented title bars.
>>110116741I think it's a generational thing. Kids probably think it's bad since they are used to tablet/phone style menus and "tempered glass"
>>110116721Yes, I think you can put CSS overrides somewhere in $HOME to do that. But I just run it stock.
i just don't like that kde has no default way to add blur all windows and needs 3rd party plugins to do it
Is calligra abandoned? I hate libreoffice
>>110111217QtQThemeKdeThemingEngine needs more binary c++ objects
>>110111217stop falling for the theme meme. just enable the built in dark/light theme, disable floating panels and transparency, move your app dock/ system tray to where you prefer it and get a high quality icon pack like papirus. thats it
>>110118205>thats itWell, in your screenshot it still looks ugly, so I don't think "that's it"
>>110111217Default Oxygen Dark looks amazing. Just disable floating panel.
>>110111217desktops that still use SSD look like shit no matter what because they never look unified. just switch to GNOME like everybody else.
>>110111217you dont, Qt has 4 different ways of styling apps. but wait, a fith one to replace them all "unify" will surely fix it!>>110115459this
>>110118275In that case it's a shit taste problem on your part.
