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 use bibata modern cursor + papirus icon theme

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

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

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.

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)

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.

Numix icon theme Catppuccin for GTK Apple Cursor

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.

De: KDE Plasma Theme: Breeze AlphaBlack Cursors: BreezeX Black

I use Plasma with Breeze Dark theme and icons and adwaita cursors. Boring but works for me.
