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 renderingCorrect rendering
wrong-renderingright-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.

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:
