Installing themes

Thu Jan 14, 2016 10:21 am
Hi,

I have been searching for a material design theme, and I found this https://github.com/varlesh/papirus-pack-kde. Since I couldn't find any straight forward instructions I'm asking here. How do I install this? Also I have found that there are some themes, in the control center that don't install properly, instead they download a tar.gz file, and after selecting install from file, it says that it's not a valid theme. What do I do with these?

Thanks in advance.

you need to provide more information

for the papirus themes did you follow the instructions in the readme https://github.com/varlesh/papirus-pack ... /README.md

what distribution and what version of KDE?

which themes in systemsettings don't install correctly? I assume you dl'ed them using the Get New Themes button


OpenSuse Leap 42.1 x64, Plasma 5.x

I'm sorry I should've been more clearer. I'm using opensuse leap. The installation is for deb packages, and I'm not sure what the other one is. The other themes, yes I was using the get new themes button.

for the papirus themes for Plasma 5
Code: Select all
git clone https://github.com/varlesh/papirus-pack-kde
cp papirus-pack-kde/plasma-themes ~/.local/share/plasma/desktoptheme/

and they should show in system settings

as for the New Themes button it worked for me but there could be things specific to specific themes so I would need to know what theme didn't install
