Need advise installing kde package [Solved]

Hello,

I've just installed lxqt from yaourt. Everything wents smoothly. I've already replaced openbox with kwin. Now, it starts looking really great. However, I'm not able to get rid of the ugly openbox window decoration.

Could anybody tell me what kde package should I install that includes the

"System Settings > Workspace Apperance > Window Decorations > Get New Decorations"

setting so that I can install different window decorations.

Thank you.

Not quite clear there - how can you still be seeing openbox decoration if you have replaced openbox?

In "Lxqt Appearances configuration"

I chose qtcurve but that didn't change window border. The window border remained the same.

kdebase-workspace

Thanks,

If I install kdebase-workspace that wants to remove my qt5 package kwindowsystem. Because when I installed lxqt it pulled in lots of kf5 packages as dependencies.

Pacman gives me these kf5 packages available for downlad.

Does anyone knows which one of those includes system settings ?

[mak@myhost ~]$ sudo pacman -S kf5

11) kconfig and 12) kconfigwidgets and 47) kwindowsystem among other packages are already installed but no system settings appears anywhere.

Solved.

I installed "kdebase-workspace" as 'genericity' suggested and removed a few qt5 apps. "kdebase-workspace" installed the "Workspace Appearance setting manager and I could fine tune the widgets exactly I wanted to:

Would be nice to see this Kde setting manager integrated into lxqt.

Look at the image!
