I created a fork of lightly in an attempt to revive it, now you can install it on plasma 6 hopefully without problems. I'm looking for people who can help me maintain it as a project (github.com)

That is quite pleasing on the eyes!

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

@Bali10050 Incidentally Evan (Boehs - the guy you forked from) is somewhat active on Mastodon, so if you wanted to get in touch with him it probably wouldn't be hard; he might help point people toward your fork. In case that information is helpful at all.

My capacity to contribute would be extremely limited, but I starred the repo at least, maybe I can chip in a bit at some point in the future.

You might want to cross post this into Linux communities too 👍 Best of luck

This seems very worthwhile, good on you for forking and resurrecting this.

It might be worth you updating the about page to say what lightly is - I had to google and find the original git to work it out. I'm still not even entirely clear - this seems to be more than a theme? As well as retheme Breeze It also seems to expand on what Breeze does?

Your project can stand on its own merits rather than just referencing defunct projects - that might help future new contributors better understand what the ask is and get then more interested / excited about helping?

Cool, best of luck. I've been using lightly for a couple months via the AUR package and I really like it.

Used it years ago, it's pretty, when it works... but it kept breaking and messing up other things.
