Today, by popular demand, we’re going to look at how I customized my Plasma desktop: panels, docks, themes, window controls, icons, widgets, login screen… It’s probably nothing too crazy compared to other user’s setups, but it’s mine, and I’m proud of it.

08:54 Final Details

I moved to a theme called layan, it’s a Kvantum theme. Layan has a GTK variant.

To install it, click the /”Configure GNOME / GTK application styles/” in the Application Style panel, then /”Get new GNOME- GTK Application styles/”. Search for Layan, and click /”install/”.

For the icons, I use the /”Inverse-blue-dark/” icons, which you can get from the /”Get new icons/” button.

The plasma theme is also the /”Layan/” theme, you can get it from the /”Get new plasma styles/” button.

The window decorations I use are called Layan. You can get them from the /”‘Get New Window decorations/”.

The widgets I use are called /”Window title applet/
