Lightly Application Style *Picture: Debian 12 Bookworm with Plasma 5.27 and Lightly installed from boehs's fork . Colour Scheme is called "Valo" and it's soon to be published in KDE Store / Pling.* Intended as a general guide for "***how-to-make-KDE-Plasma-applications-translucent***" for most Linux distributions while using colour schemes based on **Luwx/Lightly** . The three new options are in random order - I encourage you to try them and choose whichever the best suits your needs. ---- **Kvantum Engine** is a different approach and the colour schemes made for Lightly ***possibly are not translucent when using Kvantum***. --- **I would like to express my deepest gratitude** to **Luwx** -the original creator of Lightly - you have made something marvelous - to boehs and many others who have updated and maintained the original work - **and to creators of the new options**: **Séra Balázs** for Darkly, **ekaaty** for vinyl-theme and **taj-ny** for kwin-effects-forceblur. --- My hobby is to create transparent / tranlucent colour schemes based on Lightly - I am creator of Alpha colour scheme which is used as a reference in kwin-effects-forceblur aka *Better Blur*. My full set of colour schemes can be found in KDE Store / Pling (some old are not so good) and more are to published soon. Most of them are translucent when using Lightly based solutions. **When downloading colour schemes via System Settings' "Get new color schemes" you can find most of them with key word "lightly"**. --- If you have knowledge of how to install Lightly to a distribution not included here - please share it with us by writing an answer or a comment.
