hello.

hello. is a compilation of various color-schemes, themes, icons and more for the KDE Plasma desktop. It is unopinionated, putting you in charge.

NOT ACTIVELY MAINTAINED!

Since I moved on to a different hardware setup and KDE is just throwing too many bullshit things at me like SDDM insisting on mirroring the login screen unrotated to every monitor I have active as well as marking new input for overwriting for some reason, forcing me to double every character of my password and other silly quirks of Plasma I moved over to Gnome which for some reason works a ton better once basic configuration was done.

I will still work on getting some bugs fixed whenever I feel like it (probably never, let's face it).

Sorry!

Automated Installation

Shell Script

Give the hello automagic installer a try. It will fetch the latest stable release from this repository and run all the commands listed down below so you can sit back and watch the terminal do all the work.

Gentoo ebuild

Thanks to therealfarfetchd for providing https://github.com/therealfarfetchd/ebuilds/tree/master/kde-misc/hello which includes the entire project.

Manual Installation

Clone the repository and create the build directory:

git clone https://github.com/n4n0GH/hello
cd hello && mkdir build && cd build

Start building with cmake:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
make
sudo make install

Finally restart KWin and Plasma to clear their cache:

kwin_x11 --replace &
plasmashell --replace &

You should now be able to use KDE's system settings to enable and modify the theme.

Donate

People have asked me to donate because they enjoyed these tools. Here's how you can donate:

  1. Open your favorite search engine
  2. Type in "donate homeless in my area" or "donate kids in my area" or similar, you get the idea
  3. Donate whatever you would've given to me, to those organizations instead

Why can't I donate to you?

It's not that I don't want or need the money, but I'm blessed enough to have a roof over my head, food to eat, am generally healthy and have access to machines that allow me to create. Your money can help people in need or projects that help people.

If you live in Germany, here are some projects I personally have donated to and am a believer of:

Children's Hospice Sternenbrücke

Providing help to families whose children are terminally ill, giving them a nice place to be in for the last moments of their short lives, easing the burden of the parents and even helping families after their child's untimely demise.

https://sternenbruecke.de/jetzt-spenden/paypal

Streetmagazine Hinz&Kunzt

Project to give homeless people a chance to reclaim their lives and get back on track. Similar to "Big Issue", but on a regional level.
