catppuccin / kde

🌻 Soothing pastel theme for KDE

Catppuccin for KDE

Previews

🌻 Latte

🪴 Frappé

🌺 Macchiato

🌿 Mocha

Installation

For KDE Plasma Desktop:

1. git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/catppuccin/kde catppuccin-kde && cd catppuccin-kde
2. Run the install script using ./install.sh and follow the instructions.

For Krita:

1. Download the colour-scheme zip file for your preffered flavour from the release tab.
2. Extract the file and move the theme(s) you wish to install into the following folders for your platform: Windows: %appdata%\krita\color-schemes
   Linux: ~/.local/share/krita/color-schemes
3. Open Krita, and you can choose the theme from Settings > Themes.

Notes

1. If you are using KDE 5.27 or below, you might want to run git checkout v0.2.5 before running the install script to avoid running into compatibility issues. Alternatively, the release binaries are available here.
2. If you encounter an error similar to 'connection refused' while running the installation script, it may be due to store.kde.org being down or issues with your internet connection.

kde's Issues

Theme metadata / installer need a KF6 port

At the moment, practically nothing in the repo builds for Plasma 6, despite it supporting Qt6 styles. A new packaging and metadata format have been introduced, with a porting procedure described here

qt6 compatibility (reverts to light theme when dark is selected)

Thanks for the cool theme and porting it to KDE. Although the AUR versions don't install the Window Decorations (aurorae) correctly, the install script here is easy to use and works well. (The SDDM themes also require additional manual installation too, but those are unrelated issues.) In any case, everything mostly looks great.

However, I've noticed qt6 programs use a default light theme rather than whichever dark theme (frappe, macchiato, mocha) that I apply. I don't know what's wrong with my configuration, so I tried using Kvantum catppuccin, but it doesn't work as well as Lightly for Application Style. For example, highlighted text in sidebars such as Dolphin file explorer are the wrong color and difficult to read until you click twice. I also tried kvantum-qt6, but I think that project already merged with the stable version of Kvantum.

I was able to change the qt6 theme with qt6ct, but exporting the environment variable causes issues with KDE (font sizes, cursors, window borders, etc.) I rather not force it for all QT apps since everything else, all the regular KDE apps and qt5 programs, already look great. It's only a few qt6 apps which don't conform.

Then, I checked previous global KDE themes I've used: breeze-dark, qogir-dark, ant-dracula; and they don't have this issue. I don't think it's Lightly's widgets causing this because any other dark color scheme besides catppuccin's works with them. So based on process of elimination, I think the Color Scheme is bugged or incompatible with qt6, but I'm not sure and don't know how to configure it.

Any ideas on how to get this theme to apply to qt6?

Gray border line appeard after a transparent terminal goes full screen.

Extension may have a bug:

Plasma Window Decorations of Catppuccin

Steps to reproduce:

Using Window Decorations of Catppuccin (I tried both Catppuccin Latte Modern and Catppucin Mocha Classic).
Set terminal (I tried both the konsole and alacritty) transparent.

Then is a gray border line appeared in the top right after the terminal goes full screen.
No gray line If just maximize the terminal.

With Window Decorations of Catppuccin before get konsole full screen:

After full screen:

Change the Window Decorations to the default Breeze theme will not have this issue.

Expected Behavior:

There should not have a gray border line left after full screen.
With the default Window Decorations of Breeze:

[Feature Request] “Solid” variant with no panel shadow

Currently, the panels have drop shadow and KDE Plasma has no easy way remove them. It would be great if there are “solid” variants for the plasma theme with no drop shadow for panels.

Context Menus in Wrong Places if Not Fullscreen

If I right click on the window frame or click on the application menu while in fullscreen, it works fine. However if the window is smaller, the context menu show up in the wrong place. I'm running KDE6 Wayland on Arch.

Other accent colors

Just like with papirus-folders it would be nice if there were KDE colors with different accents.

Possible helpful resource

From what I saw this was one of the more troublesome ports, with licensing issues in the mix, though I see that has been dealt with..
Either way, I thought I should drop this project here, in case the maintainers are not aware of it, it can be a helpful resource, it's a couple of KDE theming bits using the Catppuccin palette, by jomada (author of some great themes like Moe/MoeDark), licensed with MIT

Poor contrast in some native KDE apps (Discover, Settings)

Hello again, thanks again for improving the theme based on user feedback.

Found a few more visual glitches around KDE.

1. Selecting an item from the 'Update' list:

2. In the settings, go to Input Devices > Keyboard > Layouts. Add a layout. Now select it and tick 'spare layouts'. Results in poor contrast between text color and background.

How to uninstall a theme?

I specifically have the mocha-rosewater variant installed and would like to remove it. (installed using install.sh)

Non-interactive, quiet and offline modes for the installer script

Currently, the installer relies on a lot of user input that might not be available in an automated install environment. For example, currently in Nixpkgs, it is necessary to manually patch the installer script to remove interactivity so that the builder does not hang while waiting for input from stdin via read.

In addition, there are also lots of print-outs and clear screens that are just completely unnecessary for a non-interactive environment, and I find that adding a --no-interactive flag would make downstream packagers' lives much easier, especially since the patch does not have to be updated with each change to the script. A -q/--quiet flag would also be nice to suppress all non-critical messages so that the build log does not get cluttered with unnecessary prompts.

Finally, this is kind of a Nix-specific thing, but it would be nice if we can use a local copy of the cursors repo, instead of wgeting it from the internet. This is mostly done to improve reproducibility and make sure that the cursors can be easily updated and verified to work, and to remove a dependency on wget. This is not as important as the first two flags, but it would be very nice to have.

Is it possible for me to edit the theme so it have a transparent background?

I tried editing the Base.colors file and the panel-background.svgz files but no success. I wanted to build a theme that were, let's say, 30% transparent on the panel

Do you want to apply theme? [Y/n]:

does this support KDEN

Menu hover background color clashes with text

Hi,

Thanks for the nice theme.

There are some contrast issues when I hover my cursor over KDE menus (without clicking anything). This issue goes away if I click a menu item first and then hover my cursor over the other menu items.

See pics (note - flameshot doesn't capture my cursor):

Mention dependency on wget and unzip.

Greetings,

thank you for creating this beautiful theme and convenient installer! Sadly I had a problem using it, because my machine was missing the unzip package, so the script could not extract some of the contents. By looking at the scripts source, I also saw that wget is used. I know that most linux distros should be shipping these packages by default, but some do not, so in my opinion it would be nice to have it mentioned in the install section of the Readme or have the script check for their presence and exit or output a warning if it fails to find them.

I know that this is probably just a convenience thing, but it could spare somebody the debugging effort and would not be too difficult to implement.

I would also be willing to submit a pr for such behavior if needed! :)

Have a nice day everyone,
Breuxi

Create release tag

This repo seems to be in a stable state, and having a tagged release makes it simpler to package this theme.

Window decorations [feature]

I wish a Window decoration theme will be add like Gnome.

Variants other than Mocha

Did I get it right that there are no variants other than Mocha? More specifically I am looking for the Frappe version.

Upload to the KDE Store

As the title suggest. This will make installing the theme way more convenient.

Wifi connect icon

Hi,

Is it possible to have a more fitting icon for the connect option in the taskbar? Folder with a globe doesn't seem too appropriate here. Example image is attached.

Window Decoration Scaling Broken On Wayland

After a minute, when windows are scaled, their decorations are scaled incorrectly.

This does not appear to happen on xorg.

Global menu widget colour inconsistency

(using the global KDE theme as well as the Kvantum one)

When hovering over a button in the global menu [File/Edit/View..] this happens:
