KDE Global Theme is still not truly global (lemmy.world)

For eg. I installed Blur-glassy theme today to check with all options selected in my Fedora 40 installation. Still I needed to install the blur option separately and colors too. After everything still Dolphin and Discover do not look anything like the picture shown.

I have seen this while trying out many themes. They either partially deploy or sometimes not.

Is it because they were built for KDE 5 and this is 6 or something?

it's probably because you haven't installed Kvantum and enabled the Kvantum theme linked in the theme's description.

Is Kvantum worth using?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Kvantum allows much more complex theming, compared to what you can achieve with regular Qt themes, but whether it's worth it or not, that's for you to decide

I hear that. I used to be heavily into theming/skinning my desktop back when Windows XP hit the scene, but nowadays I just like something consistent. I guess I’ll probably test it out on one of my testing units and see if I like it.

Complexity doesn't imply inconsistency, but i hear you. Find a theme you like, and if it needs kvantum, then try it out, and if not, then don't. It's not like it's required to enjoy Plasma

Yeah no I got that. I. Ever said anything about complexity being inconsistent I merely stated it is what I appreciate most in theming.
