Some of you might know about the lightly qt theme

https://github.com/Luwx/Lightly

https://github.com/boehs/Lightly

And if you know about it, you know support for it in recent times has been questionable. That's what I want to change, but I need someone to help me. I have experinence in similiar stuff, like I have my custom userstyle for firefox (https://github.com/Bali10050/FirefoxCSS), I have a custom animated cursor, custom plasma themes, custom aurorae themes, a custom kvantum theme, custom color themes, and I even made a custom theme for gtk2 when it was a thing(that one is not on the internet, the others can be found at https://www.pling.com/u/bali10050). I have some experience in programming, but it's python, and this project is not, and I also done nearly 0 graphical stuff in that. But, I heard that qt supports css like stylesheets (https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/stylesheet-reference.html) and I can also do some very basic things in c++ and rust. Can somebody help me revive this project, or help me find where to start?

If you're using Arch and it's in the AUR, I'd look into that. Otherwise you'd need to compile it by yourself.

If you don't feel like compiling stuff, you'd want to file a bug against your distro so there's someone willing to step up as a package mantainer to prepare a package for it and make it available for your distro.

It's not in the AUR unfortunately, and I'm ok with compiling it myself, but I have no idea how since there are 0 instructions on their gitlab. There could be instructions there, but gitlab confuses the shit out of me.

Download it, cd to its directory, and do the standard procedure to compile a Cmake project:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo/doas make install

That worked. Thanks. I don't see much difference really. Also, I now have 2 breeze themes. Lol
