Creating and customizing a theme

[AmiMint]

Hello everyone,

i'm new to this forum.

I would like to know where exactly a theme (KDE) is stored in linux mint. I would like to create a new theme, either by editing an already existing theme or creating a new one from scratch.
Can't get Dekoration to work, but i can try by creating a new theme from scratch, editing an existing theme and create custom graphics.

Could you please gime me an hint?

Thanks in advance.

KDE themes are handled by KDE, not Linux Mint.

You're welcome. Good luck.

Tried the link in the thread you've suggested.

I can't find the default path indicated.

There's a lot of confusion, cause there is not a default scheme to edit or create a new theme, even following the instructions in the techbase.

I followed the first link and got to this page ThemeDetails. You're right. It seems to have the information you need, but you have to find the theme files first. I searched in dolphin and found them here:

Code: Select all

/usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/

Code: Select all

catweazel@Fenella ~ $ ls -l /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/

Thank you very much.

I found it.

Maybe the KDE techpage are outdated (2015)

I think they make assumptions about where linux distributions put their files. The info seems to be reasonably current.

Cheers.
