KDE Classic (3.5.x/Trinity DE) theme

[AzumaHazuki]

This is something I've been working on for ages now, and it's finally ready :) I've included a palette and a custom Openbox theme that does the best it can to get close to how the Plastik windeco used to look. Source available here as always. Please let me know if you find bugs or have suggestions!

It looks good, but there is an issue with the Keyboard State Indicator. At first, the C N S is bolded, as if all three are turned on and pressing any of the CAPS LOCK/NUM LOCK/SCROLL LOCK keys doesn't change the appearance of the corresponding letter.

One drawback to using light LXQt themes in Debian, is due to the Bluetooth, Keyboard layout, notification, and volume control icons are white and look invisble with a light theme:

The Keyboard State Indicator is also behaving the same way with the three Xfce 4.x themes.

Weird, it's working fine on my system...it starts in normal weight and goes bold on click. I have no idea what's going on there. Try killing and restarting the panel?

The relevant .qss snippet from the file is as follows:

#KbIndicator #CapsLockLabel {color: #8d8d8d; font: normal;}
#KbIndicator #CapsLockLabel:enabled {color: #000000; font: bold;}
#KbIndicator #CapsLockLabel:!enabled {color: #000000; font: normal;}
#KbIndicator #CapsLockLabel:disabled {color: #8d8d8d; font: normal;}

#KbIndicator #NumLockLabel {color: #8d8d8d; font: normal;}
#KbIndicator #NumLockLabel:enabled {color: #000000; font: bold;}
#KbIndicator #NumLockLabel:!enabled {color: #000000; font: normal;}
#KbIndicator #NumLockLabel:disabled {color: #8d8d8d; font: normal;}

#KbIndicator #ScrollLockLabel {color: #8d8d8d; font: normal;}
#KbIndicator #ScrollLockLabel:enabled {color: #000000; font: bold;}
#KbIndicator #ScrollLockLabel:!enabled {color: #000000; font: normal;}
#KbIndicator #ScrollLockLabel:disabled {color: #8d8d8d; font: normal;}

When I extract any of these themes, they appear to include additional folders, beyond what I am used to seeing.

I would extract first, then copy the KDE-Classic folder from /themes, into ~/.local/lxqt/themes, But the additional folders: palettes, wallpapers, KDE-Classic.tar.xz? Are anything done with these and if so, where should they be placed?

[AzumaHazuki]

The contents of the palettes and wallpapers folders go into ~/.local/share/lxqt/palettes|wallpapers respectively, and the tarball gets decompressed into .themes, as it's the Openbox theme seen in the screenshots.

I actually juuuuust added one more line into the main theme file to correct an issue with the menu width sometimes being wrong.

Thanks.

I have KDE-Classic/Trinity working. As for the Keyboard Status, if in Configure Panel/Styling, Font Color is checked (defaults to black), that causes the C N S to display bolded, as shown above. With Font Color not checked, the non-active letters (C and S) are greyed out and the N is correctly bolded.

What Qt widgets style is used in these screenshots? I noticed the scrollbars have a different (more classic) look compared to Breeze and Fusion.

[AzumaHazuki]

Believe it or not, I did the scrollbars, sliders, and up/down arrow boxes custom. The Plastik QT style would do something similar but it would have up and down arrow-buttons at the bottom of the scrollbar, which always kind of made my brain itch...

The .qss directives in lxqt-runner.qss that produce the look are as follows:

QScrollBar::handle {
        color:                          transparent;
        background:                     qlineargradient(x1:0, y1:0, x2:1, y2:0, stop:0 #e8e9ef, stop:1 #cecfd5);

        background-image:               url(assets/scrollbars/dots.png);
        background-repeat:              no-repeat;
        background-position:            center;
        background-attachment:          fixed;

        border:                         2px solid transparent;
        border-image:                   url(assets/scrollbars/handle.png) 2;

        margin:                         16px 0px;

        width:                          16px;
}
