There is a couple problems with this:

1. This can't be used in a Wayland. When trying to close any window it simply freezes and sends me back to login.

2. With older nvidia cards for some reason the actual window is wider than the top part that holds window buttons, window title, etc,.

Really nice theme!
Is there a way too extend the pixel range for the resize arrows? I love to use windows without borders. But with that configured through settings, the arrows to resize the window by mouse are only coming up, when I hit the exact one pixel with the mouse.
Makes a little aggresiv, if you have to use a low budget mouse at work which is not accurate enough :-)

9 The best Aurorae theme for KDE IMHO. Thanks for your work on this! :-)

I tried it for a while. I liked it, but I reverted back to default breeze because it doesn't have an icon for the title bar global menu.
I also think that it would be a nice improvement to make it use the colors of the chosen color scheme, instead of having two fixed variants (light and dark), just like the default breeze theme.

due aurorae engine limitations I can't implement menu button. And also aurorae engine doesn't support tolor schemes at all, because decorations are just .svg files.

I just found this theme and love the dark variant. I use it with my own customized theme colors. I want to give this 5 stars, but can't figure out how to rate it. I installed using System Settings Add-On Installer and although everything is rated, I don't see an option for me to rate anything. I don't see that option on this web page either. How are people rating KDE Store products?

The alignment is off, depending on how the buttons are configured. I have no buttons on the left except global menu (which doesn't work, btw, I guess because it's an aurorae decoration), and the window title is not centered.

you're free to fork my repo, and make the theme look like you think it should look, then make a pull request, and i will accept it. It's the way opensource works, isn't it? :)

Thanks for this cool theme. It would be awesome if you can add a third variant with breeze windows decoration color (the dark grey).

If you didn't tried yet latte dock for kde plasma you must :) Because it is very similar to os sierra dock. You can notice it have some plasma hard shadows and sharp corners. Can you make it to look more like sierra dock. On this page in comment bellow, latte developer Michail Vourlakos explained to me that he can't change that shadow but someone need to make a theme for that. Can you make OS Sierra theme for plasma, or just that dock to look like os sierra dock? That shadow is really ugly..

It's work very good, for kde plasma I think it is the best. You can put all widgets there, system icons, all widget I think, so you don't need default panel. But it does not look very good and turns out you can't turn off shadow, only from icons and someone need to make an awesome theme - and these Breezemite could be more complete theme with new this dock if it looks more like from Sierra. :)

It is really nice, thank you very much! Only one thing, bottom corners are sharp not rounded like they should be. Can you please fix this? It is really important to have all corners rounded.
Also can you make widget style like yosemite, that would be wonderful and the best theme for kde beside breeze ! :)

Thank you for giving my theme a high rate, but i'm afraid i cant fix this problem. I'v already thought about it and that's what i came to:

Due it's an aurorae theme the corners are done by borders, and as you see that this theme has no borders - it's impossible to implement rounded corners. Even KDE Breeze theme without borders has sharp corners. I can add sort of roundness to the decoration corners, but thick borders are totally ruining beauty of the theme.

Man those borders are ugly as hell, you totally understand me.
It's missing a very little to be perfect.. Can you remove that blue outline around white field in dolphin? I really don't understand why they are forcing blue colour there. It should be grey or nothing.

Report

well... You know, i've looked in color scheme file and didn't found any color that is used by dolphin. Seems like it is a dolphin feature, or idk. Sorry for that

Thanks for trying! That colour is changeable, when that windows is not selected it changes to grey. Maybe it is in some other file?

I will search but i think it's KDE's kwin, because this outline changes color to color that i set in theme only when window is inactive and becomes blue on hover. Kinda weird design, but seems that KDE developers like it

Totally weird if that can't be changed you should report them, I would but I don't know anything about that :(
I think I saw different colour of that border on some themes but do not take my word for it, I am not so sure..
Also that thing with sharp corners should be on their to-do..
