Kvantum themes in plasma6

Hello,

Requirements:

I have Searched the forum for my issue and found nothing related or helpful
I have checked the Resources category (Resources Index)
I have reviewed the Wiki for relevant information
I have read the the Release Notes and Errata

OpenMandriva Lx version: OpenMandriva Lx 25.06

Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…): KDE Plasma 6.3.4

Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):
Trying to install Kvantum themes, Kvantum Manager will not accept downloaded global themes.

Relevant informations (hardware involved, software version, logs or output…):
Kvantum Manager 0.10.9m Kvantum Manager 1,1,4 (depending on which Kvantum package was installed)
all packages updated (sudo dnf --refresh upgrade)

only kvantum package installed is qt-theme-kvantum.x86_64 (had also tried with qt5-style-kvantum-0.10.9-5.x86_64)

Following the directions at Install and Use Kvantum Themes in KDE Plasma. I’ve also seen a note that qt6-style-kvantum and qt6-style-kvantum-themes should be installed, but I am not finding that in OML.
Placed the extracted themes in ~/.config/Kvantum as per the instructions page above.

Themes tested:
Irixium

Commonality

Besot Haiku

I have Kvantum working here. I have the same package you have installed; you don’t need anything else.

When you download a theme, extract it to a folder. For example, download the Commonality Kvantum theme and then extract it. You’ll have a folder called commonality. Then go into the Kvantum Manager, click Select a Kvantum Theme Folder and select the commonality folder. Then click Install this theme.

Now click Change/Delete Theme, select the Commonality theme, and click Use this theme.

Once you’ve done that, the theme immediately changes.

To make the theme active, you have to go into System SettingsColors and ThemesApplication Style. Once there, select Kvantum and then click Apply.

Nope, that’s exactly what I did. Downloaded another theme and it gave the same error.

Do the same with the other themes

Extract the archives and enter the directories until you reach the most inside which contains the theme.
Copy the folder/s to ~/.config/Kvantum

Start Kvantum Manager and select your new theme

Global Themes not always work as expected, sometimes you have to grab components and install them separately by hand. Not a big deal imo if you know how to do that :wink:
