Hi
I don't get Kvantum Manager after updating to the latest version.
Does it install automatically when one install the latest version or is there something else one have to install.

Using KDE (obviously) on Arch.

TIA :)

Kvantum Manager will be installed if you use the Qt4 qmake in compilation. If I remember correctly, ArchLinux has renamed it to qmake-qt4. After that and doing "sudo make install" and "make distclean", you could recompile and install against Qt5, which will put the Qt5 plugin in its proper place.

Please read INSTALL.

Sorry. I should have clarified;
I updated through AUR. Using the Kvantum-git package.
So what you're saying is that I need to download this package to get the manager?
If that's the case I understand why I didn't get it :)

Anyhow - I've said it before - Thank you very much for Kvantum. I really like the look of E and now we can have it in KDE also :) Love it

You can try the slightly modified package in my OBS repo if you're interested. ;-)

Sorry, I've never had Arch! What I said was about getting the source from github directly and compiling it. The file INSTALL inside it is easy to follow.

Thank you very much for your support! Please note that Kvantum is not limited to its default theme at all. KvDark and KvGray demonstrate that. I chose an E look for the default theme just because I found it both clean and elegant.

It worked out fine - :)

I know that you can change the look -it's just that I really like the E vibe the default look is giving. Anyway- using translucent now.

Thanks again :)
