(This is a half-rant half actual question)
I wanted a nice qt theme to use on Scribus since Arc Dark doesn’t work on there. When I tried to install it, pacman said this will install 50 packages. 300 Mb in total.
Why does a theme need packages such as Kauth and Kwallet?
I’d check that you’re actually installing the most appropriate package. For instance on Ubuntu there’s
kid3
which is a MP3 tag application that will pull in the entire k desktop environment. Or you can installkid3-qt
which packages its own version of those dependencies and doesn’t pull an entire desktop environment in if you’re using a non-kde environment.Ubuntu is really bad with this. Installing npm pulls adwaita icon theme, xorg and half the gnome desktop for some reason.
You could try this: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/klassy
I don’t think it’ll need breeze to build but it does need breeze-icons. Idk if breeze-icons needs breeze Edit: nvm u need plasma installed for it :(
When you’re not telling us which package you’re trying to install in which packaging system, the only meaningful answer is: you’re trying to install the wrong package.
Sorry. I’m using
pacman
(default in Arch Linux) and I’m trying to install the breeze qt theme package,breeze
.Really, an Arch user who didn’t mention that they’re using Arch, there’s certainly a meme hiding here somewhere!
the original post talks about pacman
but how could we be sure they weren’t talking about the game
As far as I know the breeze theme is only designed for Plasma, as it depends on some Plasma components to do it correctly.
