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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Numix icon theme Catppuccin for GTK Apple Cursor

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.

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.

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/

Icon: WhiteSur

Cursor: Bibata

Theme KDE(+ Lightly): Catppuccin Macchiato teal (Mocha for terminal)

Catppuccin looks nice and it’s also available for other apps, I even use Catppuccin for Lemmy.

The default breeze-dark is good enough for me with papirus dark icons and breeze-neutralcursors.

Edit: oh also I change the accent color to #cc8899 and the window decorations to just the x to close. I use gestures to interact with windows.
