Up to version 13.2, openSUSE used to have its own KDE style/theme with several shades of green which I found very unique and sleek looking.
Leap 42.1 came and apparently it started just using Plasma 5’s blue breeze theme, and it remains that way on 15.5 (well, Breeze Classic).
However, under System Settings > Appearance > Colors, I found a different color scheme aptly named “openSUSE”.
This color scheme changes Plasma’s accent colors, window decoration colors as well as folder colors to a lovely “openSUSE-y” green which perfectly matches the distribution’s default wallpaper.
Is this meant to be the distro’s default KDE theme?
If yes, why is it not enabled by default on new Leap/TW installations?
Thanks in advance.
It is.
I just checked. I see that I am using the “openSUSE” theme.
What theme you are using depends on settings in your home directory (mostly $HOME/.config). If you installed to replace a different system, but you retained your “/home” (or backed up “/home” from previous system then restored), you are probably using settings that you made before you even installed openSUSE.
AFAIK, the KDE Plasma Global Design “openSUSE” will pull in the “openSUSE” colour scheme –
- Please be aware that, the “openSUSE” Global KDE Plasma Design, uses the “Breeze” Application Style by default – which is also the KDE Plasma default Application Style …
If you’re not so impressed with “Breeze” (as I am), then you can install something else – such as “Oxygen” – yes, Auntie Agatha: that style is still being maintained «after a quite short “no maintenance phase”» …
Moving on to the Plasma Styles –
Moving on to Window Decorations, Symbols and Pointers: choose the style which fits to your chosen Application Style …
Isn’t KDE Plasma Look-and-Feel wonderfully and easily customisable?
- And, forget the contents of ‘~/.config/’ – the days of “simply edit a KDE configuration file” are long gone …
It feels like centuries ago but, that would be stretching reality more than a little bit …
