I have only been able to see some pix about such darker theme, but no real info about
where to download from ...and how to install such theme in my Linux version 5.0.0

any sugestiosn folks ?

Bibi

The very same question was discussed on the #kmymoney channel at irc.freenode.net about two days ago:

Code: Select all

[21:40] <kidnextdoor> hi there
[21:40] <kidnextdoor> i have a question about  a dark theme for kmymoney
[21:40] <kidnextdoor> i saw some screenshots online but i cant find the theme option in kmymoney anywahere
[21:41] <kidnextdoor> is there a dark theme for it or is there anyway i can customize it?
[21:46] <CarlSchwan> kidnextdoor: Do you use Linux?
[21:48] <kidnextdoor> yes
[21:48] <kidnextdoor> my own dekstop, arch + openbox
[21:49] <CarlSchwan> Ok this make it easier 🙂
[21:49] <CarlSchwan> You should be able to change the QStyle used by KMyMoney
[21:49] <kidnextdoor> so it is possible? im using lxappearance themes but it wont change kmymoney
[21:50] <CarlSchwan> maybe the qstyle for kmymoney is hardcoded let me check the source code
[21:53] <CarlSchwan> kidnextdoor: Does `kmymoney -style windows` change the look of KMyMoney?
[21:55] <kidnextdoor> is taht a command i to execute in terminal?
[21:55] <CarlSchwan> yes
[21:55] <kidnextdoor> no it didnt change
[21:58] <kidnextdoor> themes should be a priority since they can be sold separately for extra income without taking any functionality to any user
[21:59] <kidnextdoor> i just need a dark one for free to amtch my desktop
[22:00] <CarlSchwan> this is quite strange, for me the theme works fine on openSUSE + Plasma
[22:01] <CarlSchwan> Does it work for you with other Qt/KDE apps?
[22:01] <kidnextdoor> yes so far all of them changed with my settings in lx appearance
[22:04] <kidnextdoor> gona restart machine
[23:24] <kidnextdoor> guys just to let you know ive been able to solve theming
[23:24] <kidnextdoor> i installe qt5ct and pulled the gtk theme from there

Hope that helps.

I m on Zorin (ubuntu) and was looking for ....a quick and simpler way to achieve that..

thanks but I think i ll stick to another soft instead. neverlind
Have a nice day...

If you would use a KDE desktop things would work out-of-the-box

Just saw that you mentioned 5.0.0 for KMyMoney (very old). We're on 5.0.7 for a few months and in 5.0.2 there was a fix regarding dark themes. If you want, give the AppImage a try in case your distro does not support an update.
