theming desktop

Hello, i want to theme my desktop (plasma+i3gaps) in some nice cyberpunk theme like the computers in sciencefiction movies but since cyberpunk game was announced it's really hard to find anything interesting in google images (or i am too stupid to think of other phrases). I want something simple but looking very cyberpunk. If you have any nice photo or idea i would be thankful for help. Thanks lainons for help! (I can't think of theme cause i'm not gui designer but i like to theme desktop if i have some source that i can base my theme on)

I kinda like desktop themes with that suttle hint of being cyberpunk. So that it looks nice but is still practical. Here is my i3 setup, (you can see I am not a graphics designer either). Also, just try searching "linux cyberpunk theme", plenty of inspiration there. btw, /Δ/ might not quite be the right place for this thread.

>>16080 yes i thought it could be kinda wrong place but dunno where should i put it Yes i kinda want too make it simple cyberpunk

okay here is what i got. is that cyberpunky enough?

>>16091 Looks pretty cool. I might try to switch out the icons for something less generic-looking if I were you.

>>16080 What's that run program?

>>16095 That is called rofi. https://github.com/DaveDavenport/rofi

>>16097 False, that's called krunner

>>16097 ah wait in that screenshot ye its rofi. on my pc its krunner

>>16091 Looks pretty cool allthough don't you get the urge to shrink down those gaps to get a bit more space.

>>16091 >>16109 Also maybe a bit too much of the exact same color, maybe try some different tints of that blue.

I've always been curious about this, but I never knew how to start. Like, if I want to start by changing window borders or stuff like that, where do I even look for that? How do I into ricing, lainons?

There are 2 competing widget toolkits for open source desktops, GTK and QT. Step 1 is figure out which one you want to theme (whichever one your current desktop environment uses might be a good start). OP is using plasma, which is part of KDE and therefor uses QT. Next step is to find some existing themes you like and install them (QT) https://store.kde.org/ (GTK) https://www.gnome-look.org/ Then look at how they work and make tweaks until you're happy. Last step is configure GTK to emulate your QT theme or vice versa. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uniform_Look_for_QT_and_GTK_Applications

>>16752 How to start? I basically started by browsing r/Unixporn a bunch. Actually no, that's a lie - I started from Deviantart of all places. When I used Windows there we a tonne of Rainmeter skins, Shell themes, etc on there. I always watned to "Customize" my computers - make then truly, mine. So after I started to dabble in Linux then I found r/Unixporn, which is a pretty neat subreddit for all things *nix customization. Basically my process is to browse along until i find something I like, find their dotfiles, copy a few lines, edit them a bit. Now I do my own soykaf from scratch, taking inspiration from posts now and then. Some resources: http://terminal.sexy/ - amazing colorscheme editor r/Unixporn sidebar - screenshots r/Unixart - for more some more 'tasteful' screenshots >pic related is my WIP openBSD setup

>>16753 >>16754 Thank you! This is most appreciated, lainons! There's a lot of info that I can reach from those links and googling those terms <3 I wanted to do something about this for my laptop. I'll delve into it when I have more time. >>16754 Wow, this one reminds me of VA-11 Hall-A. I think because of the color scheme. IMO it might be a bit hard to read (I think those unames kinda blend with the parenthesis background) but it looks awesome! I love the font.

>>16754 what font is that?

>>16754 Fixed:pixelsize=16
