This is super cool! I think this is the first "real" tutorial on how to theme plasma. Besides your tutorial, every plasma theme tutorial I've seen is just downloading a pre-made theme pack and call it a day.. Thank you for this tutorial! Of course I subscribed ;)
Yep, all those tutorials be like: "Make KDE truly _yours._ Step 1: Download this other theme..."
It's great to see these in video format which may be more digestable to younger generation and encourage them for participating in open source.
I've spend so much time learning on my own with trial and error.
Having Video Tutorials is so much better!!
I like the KSP music !
The background music is a little bit creepy, but the tutorial is on point!
its from Kerbal space program
This is awesome! I remember the times when I had to reverse-engineer existent themes trying to figure out what the heck was making it all work... Keep it up :)
Thank you! I've been perplexed by how to modify plasma themes for so long. I now have a plasma theme that is exactly what I wanted.
I finally found something I can call as a real "tutorial" ❤️❤️
I tought that one needs coding for this. Love it.
This is a great resource for people who want to create beautiful themes.
When you will do elements that have some sort of highlight/accent color, please don't forget to include how to make the theme follow the System color scheme. What should the text files look like to make it work? Is there a special SVG color value 'reserved' for system color?
Also, would you recommend making the entire Plasma theme from scratch, or using Plasma Theme Editor to see what .svg files I need, what IDs should I give the elements, etc, and basically edit Breeze into my own theme?
I'm so excited for the second part.
keep going Bro!
Thanks.
Great video! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of this series!
thank you so much for this tutorial now i have a lovely theme of my own
Great series, keep it up, I'm planning to make my own theme as no dark theme has fulfilled my needs.
Veggero è il king
Thanks so much, this is the tutorial that I was need for make a custom theme.
This is great! I just wish it would of came out 2 months ago before I started to build my own plasma theme. If you could, please make a video on how to upload a Plasma Style/Global Theme to KDE Store and/or Discover. That's what I'm trying to do now and can't find any information on how to do it anywhere. Awesome video and easy to follow.
Nice tutorial
Thanks. this is very useful
so good video! you seem to be a good teacher. like plasma standard design though that i dont need make changes but anyway looking forward see more videos
Great channel dude
Awesome video!
Excelente video, felicidades!
Looks really helpful
Hi, thanks for the effort. Could you please make a video describing which parts of the desktop are controlled by "Global theme", "Plasma Style", "Application Style", "Colours". I have been using Plasma for a few years now and I still have no idea what will change when I download new theme or what should I customize in order to get the desktop looking the way I want it. I've stumbled my way to something I like but this is not exactly knowledge. Thanks.
Interesting idea!
I agree with you, for example i like the default breeze theme but I want to change the panel transparency.
Nice
Let's now enable Aero :)
Great contribution, Niccolo. Just one question: the tool in the 01:50 is available as plasmoid too?
I'm afraid not :(
@@niccoloveslinux That would be a really awesome thing to make available, actually.
wow i jus noticed it was is brother from kde developer review linus video :)
🤣
Nice tutorial, thanks! What was the decision to have to draw the shadow on the theme instead of using some shader to do it and have the property of that shadow in the metadata?
That allows the shadows to be completely customized in color and shape :)
Ey, Now we need a new tutorial for Plasma 6.1 ?
i tried editing a theme and deleted all cache files the theme apparently had via 'locate'. Still, the changes have no effect. Why?
Hello... I'm trying to make my own theme but I'm facing some difficulties. I followed your tutorial, and the theme still doesn't work, I'm using KDE 5.18.8, do you know how to make it work?
Email me the theme?
@@niccoloveslinux Hello, I'm sending you my theme, thanks for the help
00:09 ... I don't have the "plasma" folder for some reason :(
Hey, when I go to my system settings my theme dosent show up. Is there anyone who can help?
Hi, i try to follow your tutorial, but for me I don't need to create a new theme, i just need to make panels almost transparent, and what I do it's not possible.
send me an email: niccolo at venerandi dot com
Evil laugh😈👉👈
1:55 how can I translate those values to get the intensity value?
IIRC intensity corresponds to contrast
2:50 shouldn't the folder name be "translucent"?
You're actually right, my bad. Will address that in the next video.
How to make a Kde app?
Says no code on title.
first scene of video, CODES
Editing a makefile is not coding ahahah
I don't know what you are doing. I think it would be best to show the finished creation 1st and show how you got there,. I want to be able to mix and match elements from already existing themes. You show a series of endless steps without a proper overview.
How can I change the window control buttons?
Aurorae themes
this is clickbait! theres still some coding effort 😜
anyways its still good btw
also maybw change te title into minimal coding since you need slighy code to make the system right
