I now found a way to properly install it onto KDE neon, now a fully working guide is on the readme if you're still interested:
Because it works like that, but in the traditional way, not all corners are rounded, and there's no margin in the bottom.
That would represent my programming knowledge pretty great at the moment
I was thinking about „darkly”, or something like „nightly”, but I like your „bulb” idea, it's funny
I'll try renaming it, but it probably is a long process, until that, please help me choose a name
I was thinking about „darkly”, but that's a great one too
Because the programming language I actually know is python, in c++ I'm currently barely above the „hello world”-level. It also annoys me, but at the moment I haven't yet figured a way out to align it properly, as soon as I do, I'll promise that I will align it
It seems like most people don't like it, especially on reddit, where they even seem to hate it.

Thanks! If you can help spread the word about it or find contributors, please help, because I almost know nothing about c++, and this attempt of revival is made with the hope that if I allow more commits than boehs, the project will stand back on it's own feet
I created a fork today on github, and I started writing a new readme, and I fixed the installation for plasma 6, based on the instructions found in the fork of boehs' issues tab
https://github.com/Bali10050/Lightly
I plan to do this as a side project, and it most likely will depend on others contributions, because I almost know nothing about c++. Luckily Luwx left the project as mostly done, so if we can just maintain it, and help people fix their issues, then the job is done, and if we can make some buttons nicer, or something, then forking it from boehs will become a really great decision, not just a useless splitting of resources.

Feature request: Rounded corners, but in another way
(lemmy.kde.social)
Plasma 6 has introduced rounded corners for the panels. I have a similiar idea, basically the same but in a very different way.
Rounded corners for the desktop. Instead of rounding the corners of the panel, there could be an option to round the corners of the desktop. The panel here is viewed as a background object, and the focused object that pops out is the desktop, which is a rectangle, with sharp uncomfortable edges at the moment.
This could be a new and unique way of viewing the desktop, and we could be once again be one step ahead of the windows designers if the rumours about windows 12 are true. There are 1 or 2 third party little projects already trying to achieve this or a similiar effect, but there aren't any major implementations.
Achieveing this effect could be best done in my opinion with an extra included svg with plasma themes, because this does not fit all styles, and the user should also be able to turn it of, because some might find this annoying. The effect should be turned on only for the corners that have panels touching them, and in fullscreen, it should hide with the panel.
The program I'm using to achieve this effect has the problem of it not allowing clicks trough even in the transparent area, but this has only caused one button to be slightly harder to be clicked in one application, and that is gimp if it's maximized(not full screen) and has the smallest icons enabled, so if it doesn't cut too big of a portion off the screen, all programs could run perfectly fine without any modification.
This could be a very good thing for thememakers, and it can be done with very little code and almost no bugtesting, and no compromises.
The original hasn't been touched in years, and even boehs' most recent commit was 7 months ago. I plan on creating a new readme first, and fixing the install(currently you can only install it onto plasma6 if you follow a guide from the boehs fork issues page), then if I can find people that are interested, I'll start packaging it to some distros. If I can do all this, I'll start adding my own developments to it. Also, this fork will be very different from boehs in that he doesn't want to diverge too far from upstream, but I don't really care about the catch-up game, I think that it only holds up the development

No, I haven't, I don't have a good refactoring tool, and I haven't yet figured out what needs to be changed to make it show up as a different theme without breaking it.
