Dark themes/styles for KDE5/QT5

TiborB · 2015-09-05 19:53:54

I used some dark theme before upgrading to KDE5 (though I am openobox user, and using qt5ct for customization), but all 5 listed appearance styles are too light. Is there any additional package (can be in aur as well) that would provide alternative/dark themes for qt5 applications?

Thanks

breeze has a breeze dark theme, other than that I'd say google and try what you find

i just used the sytem settings service to get new ones, currently on papirus-dark for window decorations/colors and "serious" desktop theme (because i like transparency)
kde-look.org should help too

problem is that systemsettings is not 'obbeyed' as I am not using KDE5, but openbox. I have to use qt5ct and it does not offer "themes" as in systemsettings. In fact I have dark theme selected in systemsettings, but it is not respected...

I'm just setting XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=kde when using openbox (what I'm doing not very often). This way Qt apps will use the KDE settings (without any additional tools like qt5ct). For GTK apps you might use gnome-breeze. It has a normal and a dark variant.

Oh, so I replaced

QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct"
for
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=kde

and it seems the particular aplications works as before, I will test it for couple of days but I hope it is resolved...

EDIT:

After 2 days - works good, problem fixed, thanks...
