This repository implements 'Kara', a KDE Plasma 6 applet that functions as a desktop/workspace pager. It allows users to switch between virtual desktops or activities via a configurable widget that can display pills, text labels, or icons. The applet supports multiple highlight styles (line, square, full, full with line), scrolling and click interactions, and custom labeling with templates. The architecture consists of a C++ plugin providing the PagerModel and WindowModel (using KWin and TaskManager APIs) and QML files defining the user interface, representation components, and highlight overlays. The project is actively developed with 37 open issues and 327 stars, and is built for modern KDE Frameworks 6 and Qt6.
WhiteSur-icon-theme is a popular Linux desktop icon theme that replicates the macOS Big Sur aesthetic. The repository consists of thousands of hand-crafted SVG icons organized into standard icon theme categories (actions, apps, devices, etc.) and a single Bash install script (`install.sh`). The script copies icons to the user's local icon directory or system-wide, optionally installing alternative, bold, or KDE Plasma variants, and runs `gtk-update-icon-cache`. There are no application components, tests, or CI/CD pipelines; the project is purely a design asset distribution with a minimal functional entry point. The icons are the product, and the install script is the delivery mechanism. The theme is actively maintained with frequent updates and broad community support.
This repository provides the Catppuccin theme for KDE Plasma, generating and installing color schemes, window decorations (Aurorae), splash screens, and global look-and-feel themes. It does not contain any running application, service, or API; instead, it is a static asset generation and distribution project. The core workflow uses Tera templates rendered by Whiskers (Catppuccin's own tool) into pre-generated assets stored under `generated/`, which are then installed by a POSIX shell script (`install.sh`) into KDE's XDG configuration directories. The project supports 4 flavors (Latte, Frappe, Macchiato, Mocha) and 14 accent colors, producing 56 color scheme variants and dozens of theme variants. The codebase is well-tested with a sandboxed test suite, includes drift detection for templates vs generated output, and follows good practices with CI, EditorConfig, and ShellCheck. There is no data analysis or research component.
