No, I haven’t, I don’t have a good refactoring tool, and I haven’t yet figured out what needs to be changed to make it show up as a different theme without breaking it.

I now found a way to properly install it onto KDE neon, now a fully working guide is on the readme if you’re still interested:

That would represent my programming knowledge pretty great at the moment

I was thinking about „darkly”, or something like „nightly”, but I like your „bulb” idea, it’s funny

I’ll try renaming it, but it probably is a long process, until that, please help me choose a name

I was thinking about „darkly”, but that’s a great one too

Thanks!

What distro do you have?

Because the programming language I actually know is python, in c++ I’m currently barely above the „hello world”-level. It also annoys me, but at the moment I haven’t yet figured a way out to align it properly, as soon as I do, I’ll promise that I will align it

It seems like most people don’t like it, especially on reddit, where they even seem to hate it.

Thanks! If you can help spread the word about it or find contributors, please help, because I almost know nothing about c++, and this attempt of revival is made with the hope that if I allow more commits than boehs, the project will stand back on it’s own feet

I created a fork today on github, and I started writing a new readme, and I fixed the installation for plasma 6, based on the instructions found in the fork of boehs’ issues tab

https://github.com/Bali10050/Lightly

I plan to do this as a side project, and it most likely will depend on others contributions, because I almost know nothing about c++. Luckily Luwx left the project as mostly done, so if we can just maintain it, and help people fix their issues, then the job is done, and if we can make some buttons nicer, or something, then forking it from boehs will become a really great decision, not just a useless splitting of resources.

The original hasn’t been touched in years, and even boehs’ most recent commit was 7 months ago. I plan on creating a new readme first, and fixing the install(currently you can only install it onto plasma6 if you follow a guide from the boehs fork issues page), then if I can find people that are interested, I’ll start packaging it to some distros. If I can do all this, I’ll start adding my own developments to it. Also, this fork will be very different from boehs in that he doesn’t want to diverge too far from upstream, but I don’t really care about the catch-up game, I think that it only holds up the development

Thanks for the response, I’ll try those. The part that I’m stuck with is the lack of the documentation, and the size of the project. If any of these work, it can be a fun little(very big) project, and an interesting learning experience, and might be a great thing for the community overall.
