Recommendations
- For a more consistent look on Qt and KDE apps, please use this theme with the Kvantum engine.
Runkvantummanager
, then choose and apply the Materia theme. - Install Papirus icon theme for a more consistent and beautiful experience.
- Install and use these widgets: Minimal Menu and Digital Clock WL
- Change the System Settings view to Icons View
- Set the icon size for Toolbar and Main Toolbar to 16px
- Set the border size to No Borders in Window Decoration settings
Hacks for smaller screen resolutions
- Install the Active Window Control and Application Menu widgets, and move them to a panel.
(NOTE: Application Menu is already included with recent versions of KDE Plasma, so there is no need to install it manually.) - Disable window buttons and titlebar on window decorations:
- Open the theme's rc file (Materiarc, Materia-Darkrc, or Materia-Lightrc) on the Aurorae themes folder (this is usually located in ~/.local/share/aurorae/themes or /usr/share/aurorae/themes) and change the following lines:
ButtonHeight=0 ButtonWidth=0 TitleHeight=0 TitleEdgeTop=0
- To hide window buttons on GTK 3 apps, use the GTK3-noCSD script
- Open the theme's rc file (Materiarc, Materia-Darkrc, or Materia-Lightrc) on the Aurorae themes folder (this is usually located in ~/.local/share/aurorae/themes or /usr/share/aurorae/themes) and change the following lines:
Known issues
Aurorae rendering bugs with NVIDIA graphics
On systems using the proprietary NVIDIA video driver, Aurorae window decorations do not render properly by default with all themes.
Wrong rendering | Correct rendering |
---|---|
To fix that, use this config on ~/.Xresources:
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.antialias: true
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.autohint: false
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.rgba: rgb
Restart your PC to apply these changes.
Inconsistent styles in QML/Kirigami apps
Recent Qt and KDE apps now use QML or Kirigami — these do NOT fully support theming on any engine because more elements are hardcoded. Please do not submit new issues regarding such apps; we can't do anything to fix them.
Affects apps include, but are not limited to:
- Muon Discover
- Kirigami Gallery
- Ikona
- Alligator
- Kaidan
- Elisa
- KDE Itinerary
- KTrip
- Kirogi
- VVave (ex Babe)
- Keysmith
- Calindori
- KDE Connect SMS Module
