NoxForge 1.0.0

NoxForge 1.0.0

NoxForge 1.0.0 is the first complete local distribution of the Industrial
Precision Global Theme for Fedora KDE 44, Plasma 6.7+ and Qt 6.11.

Highlights

• Strict Plasma 6 Global Theme package with NoxForge-only defaults.
• Native Qt 6 QStylePlugin implemented directly from QCommonStyle.
• Expanded Plasma Style with 51 original shell and widget SVG assets.
• Original Aurorae decoration, task switcher, splash, logout and SDDM themes.
• 134 system icons, 96 physical multi-size cursors and 32 system sound events.
• Deterministic source distribution and reversible user/system installers.

Installation

Build and inspect both installation stages before installing:

python3 scripts/build.py
./scripts/install.sh --user --dry-run
./scripts/install.sh --user
./scripts/install-system.sh --system --dry-run
sudo ./scripts/install-system.sh --system

Installers do not apply the Global Theme, reset the panel, restart Plasma or
change SDDM configuration. Select NoxForge explicitly in System Settings after
installation.

Verification

• Source validation and 32 Python tests pass.
• Four native Qt CTest cases pass, including RTL and 140% offscreen rendering.
• QStyleFactory discovers and loads NoxForgeStyle.
• SDDM starts successfully in offscreen test mode.
• Repeated isolated user/system install and uninstall checks pass.
• The release archive is reproducible and has a published SHA-256 digest.

Live multi-monitor, every-panel-edge and full Wayland visual checks remain in
the documented manual test matrix and are not represented as automated passes.
