I use the default breeze light on plasma. Most themes are broken or just too much. Breeze is great

• Icon theme : Papirus

• Shell and GTK theme : Yaru Dark ( the ubuntu darkmode one )

For cursors, i use the default Adwaita. Even though i shifted from ubuntu to arch 7 years ago, i always liked the orangish theme of ubuntu.

I used to be really into theming. But now, the default Breeze and Adwaita look good enough that I haven’t bothered wanting to change them in a couple years.

That and thmes always appeared to be some degree of “broken” that I just don’t bother anymore.

I do always change the cursor to the black Adwaita one, even on KDE. It just feels right to me.

When I did still use themes, Numix, Arc Dark, and whatever “flat” themes that I could find were my favorites.

I’m using EndeavourOS XFCE, but with two things on top:

• Nightfox Dusk BL GTK theme
• Tela Purple Dark icon theme

I think these two work really well together

Adapta-gtk with Papirus icons, because i like clear lines and less optical clutter.

I would like Materia too, but that goes actively against my choice to have some transparency in Whiskermenu.

• Papirus Icon Theme (Dark)
• Bibata Cursor theme (Modern Ice)
• Materia GTK Theme (Dark-compact)

I used the Sweet-KDE color scheme for years on KDE Plasma, but recently I’ve been converting everything to Catppuccin Macchiato. Default icons and cursors.

Icon theme : Papirus Theme: Catppuccin Macchiato Cursor: Catppuccin Dark

As you can see I enjoy the catppuccin colorscheme for its variety.

I use bibata modern cursor + papirus icon theme

Numix icon theme Catppuccin for GTK Apple Cursor

Buuf cursor https://store.kde.org/p/1249129/ because I like a cursor that is good looking and easy to see (unlike the default camouflaged dark cursor) and it fits with Buuf icons https://store.kde.org/p/1305826/

I’m using a dark Kvantum theme that I customized with dark red highlights.

KDE Plasma 5

• Global theme: Win7OS
• App style: Oxygen
• GTK theme: Windows10
• Colours: Win7OS
• Window Decorations: Expose Air
• Fixed font: MesloLGS Nerd Font 10pt
• Icons: Windows 7 Ultimate 7600

Good standard layout. None of that panel on the left nonsense.

I’m kind of rocking my own colourscheme, based around 4 colours: #467b96 as primary, #889fa7 as secondary, #dfdfdf for white, and a mix of #696969 #282c34 and #343434 for shades of gray and black, with #282c34 being the primary background colour I stick with. I also use some shades of my primary and secondary colours from time to time. It looks really good with the Arc-Darkest GTK theme and Sardi-Flat-Arc as an icon theme. Alternatively, I’ve looked into papirus with blue as a folder colour, but I prefer Sardi-Flat-Arc.

Edit: Most other colours come from either the doom-one colourscheme or from the terminal colourscheme for Alacritty from ArcoLinux.

Nordic dark curser, and compact dark breeze on sway wm

I like the Kora icon pack.

Shameless self promotion, I made my own cursor pack. It’s Splatoon-themed. https://www.pling.com/p/2040163/
