How To Change Your Themes In Linux

So I don't use arch, I use a distant distribution. Can we get theme instructions for those?

Still super helpful 3 years later 🥰

Wayyyyyy too much unnecessary waffle.

I just want my theme set to "dark mode" as system default so that my browser won't flash bang me smh

thx

i can't install qt5ct the mirrors are not responding :(

I love using i3 and KDE apps... I set the global theme and accent colors in KDE and then I do => echo "XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE" | sudo tee -a /etc/environment

DT to save the day!😸

Hi DT.
Love your channel which has inspired me a lot to dive further into Linux and Xmonad.
I am a robotics engineer and I am therefore inside when I program and outside when I test systems.
I was wondering if you might want to make a video where you can switch (system-wide meaning menu bar, terminal, browser etc) between light and dark theme, with a simple key binding. Or maybe you just have a good hint.
I am running Xmonad and Polybar on Linux Mint.
Thanks in advance.

Be sure to run qt5ct and lxappearance from root as well. Otherwise root requiring apps like synaptic, gparted, and timeshift will remain blinding white.

As always. You are create very helpfull films

You should make a new video soon as GTK is moving to LibAdwaita & removing theming.

For uniform themes, checkout 'Uniform look for Qt and GTK applications' in Arch Wiki.

or: Use ArcoLinux. At least when you use stuff from all over the place you'll NEVER get it as consistent - believe me. They took care of *everything*.

I love Plasma desktop's amazing integration of GTK apps into the desktop. There are settings to change only GTK theme built into the plasma settings and by default they use the Breeze default theme just like the QT apps

Hello , can you recommend me an app by command line to listen to radio online streaming, without cuts, please thank you

I really liked the I3 + Dracula theme/icons (with minor tweaks) + Arc dark.

Please make a video on MX Linux running inside Virtualbox. MX uses Fluxbox and XFCE4. Fluxbox is a nice GUI because you don't have to rely either on GTK+ or QT. It's built on top of libx11, written in C++ and libx11 is the only dependency I believe.

Electron applications never respect the desktop theme, regardless of whatever config you set.

does anybody change the themes every day ?

This is a usefull video. Thanks

Is there any ways to set themes via file, If yes which file to edit?

hey your pacman doesn't look like mine. what is that you're using??

Very helpful, thanks

And here is me! After running Arch with DWM, bspwm, i3wm going to install Fedora with KDE Plasma. •_•

You have to turn on auto-subtitle function. I like your channel, but your english is fast. -0-

It would be nice to have a program to convert qt into gtk and gtk into qt

I thought qt5ct stood for qt5 change theme lol.

I always pronounced "Kvantum" with "v" so it's like "Keh-van-tum"

I've been using Linux for many years now, and today I learnt something new... Peace! :V

Thank you dt, i have both lxappearance and qt5ct on my (debian) system and it bugs the heck out of me to get virtualbox look somewhat right to the dark gtk theme i use. So kvantum is not perfekt but wayy better than the blinding white of vbox before. Is there a qt theme out there that matches arc-dark?

I am just one of them people who don't care about themes. I just want stuff to work and get on with me day.

Guys, if qt5ct is not enough or doesnt want to work for some reason. Install kvantum manager, its the tool used by KDE, a bit more bloated, but basically guaranteed to work

You can set your Qt themes with Kvantum. Kvantum is a SVG-based theme engine, and there are some kvantum themes that mimics GTK themes, so you can set the "same" theme on both engines and achieve a consistent desktop look.

Search more about it!

Arc-Dark + Papirus icons is my favorite look 👍🏼

Good stuff ! Gno Gnome ?

Hey DT, there is a window manager written in rust called "penrose". It doesn't have a config file and because rust is a compiled language, you have to compile it so it is similar to dwm in that case but you don't change the source directly so there is no hassle of conflicting patches, you use the provided libraries(?) to write your own twm similar to you do in qtile and xmonad. Maybe you might be interested in an have a look. AFAIK it is pretty new and it might not be very stable though.

plz explain how do customization arch linux after install (audio, brightness,Bluetooth, finger print,etc) for suckless or i3

What ??? having to restart an app for theme change to kick in ? Now that's a blast from the past. Painful. Any modern system responds to a change theme signal, so apps change theme without restart instantly.

I had forgotten what i's like living in stone ages with ancient window managers or is it an Xmonad special :D. No thanks, not any more. :)

What is the name of your shell prompt theme? Or your favourite theme for shell?

Is using the dark theme any form of cultural appropriation?

Thanks a lot :)

I'd like to know how to change the theme on appimages

ah, no wonder, OK then, I'll install qt5ct and fix that, thanks :D

My favourite theme is default.

Oomox.

Thumbs up for Lays Stax

I am currently using Arch with KDE. I've been thinking about changing to a tiling wm.
