Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have kpackagetool6, cava, qt6-websockets-dev, qdbus, and python3-websockets installed. Install them according to your distribution with the following command:

# Ubuntu and derivatives
sudo apt install kpackagetool6 cava qt6-websockets-dev python3-websockets qdbus-qt6

# Arch Linux and derivatives
sudo pacman -Syu kpackage cava qt6-websockets python-websockets qt6-tools

# Fedora
sudo dnf install kpackage cava qt6-qtwebsockets-devel python-websockets qt6-qttools

# openSUSE
sudo zypper install kpackage cava qt6-websockets-imports python3-websockets qt6-tools

Download and installation

Open a terminal and make sure you are in your home directory. The entire process is done from here:

cd ~

Download and extract the themes in a single step:

wget -qO- https://github.com/zayronxio/Librepixels.Page.cdn/releases/download/lightv1themes/lightv1themes.tar.xz | tar -xJ

Create the necessary directories if they don’t exist:

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/{icons,aurorae/themes,color-schemes} ~/.fonts

Enter the themes directory:

cd ~/lightv1themes

Install all components in sequence. You can copy and paste the entire block into the terminal:

# Plasma Theme
kpackagetool6 -t Plasma/Theme -i Clay.Theme.tar.xz && rm Clay.Theme.tar.xz

# Window decoration (Aurorae)
tar -xJf clay.tar.xz -C ~/.local/share/aurorae/themes && rm clay.tar.xz

# Color scheme
tar -xJf DeepinV2.tar.xz -C ~/.local/share/color-schemes && rm DeepinV2.tar.xz

# Icons
tar -xJf ColorFlow.tar.xz -C ~/.local/share/icons && rm ColorFlow.tar.xz

# Plasmoids
kpackagetool6 -t Plasma/Applet -i Date.Urban.kde.tar.xz && rm Date.Urban.kde.tar.xz
kpackagetool6 -t Plasma/Applet -i htmlclock-2.1.0.plasmoid && rm htmlclock-2.1.0.plasmoid
kpackagetool6 -t Plasma/Applet -i Freyry.Weather.tar.xz && rm Freyry.Weather.tar.xz
kpackagetool6 -t Plasma/Applet -i plasmoid-panel-colorizer-v6.8.1.plasmoid && rm plasmoid-panel-colorizer-v6.8.1.plasmoid
kpackagetool6 -t Plasma/Applet -i Kurve-v3.5.0.plasmoid && rm Kurve-v3.5.0.plasmoid
kpackagetool6 -t Plasma/Applet -i org.kde.MinimalMusic.P6.tar.xz && rm org.kde.MinimalMusic.P6.tar.xz
kpackagetool6 -t Plasma/Applet -i Plasma.Flex.Hub.tar.xz && rm Plasma.Flex.Hub.tar.xz

Do not continue if any installation fails; reinstall the missing plasmoid before proceeding.

Desktop configuration

Manually configuring all KDE Plasma panels is very time-consuming. Instead, we will use D-Bus to do it faster. Copy, paste, and run the following command; it sets everything up automatically.

Warning: Running the script will erase your current panel configuration. Make sure all plasmoids are installed before continuing.

cd ~/lightv1themes && qdbus6 org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell org.kde.PlasmaShell.evaluateScript "$(cat scriptFullConfigs.js)"
qdbus6 org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell org.kde.PlasmaShell.evaluateScript "$(cat scriptDeskWidgets.js)"

Panel Colorizer

The configuration is only partially loaded when the JS script runs. To finish configuring it manually, right-click on the top panel and select “Configure Panel Colorizer”. Navigate to the Preset Overrides section. In the right panel you will see that a preset has already been created. In the plasmoids list, each one has an “Add” button. Assign the preset to the following plasmoids:

  • Application Launcher
  • Freyry
  • System Tray
  • Flex Hub
  • Digital Clock

Apply the changes and switch to the Widget Island section. In the right panel you will see a list of all the plasmoids on the panel, each with 3 buttons: disable, start, and end. All will appear as disabled; change the following ones:

  • Application Launcher → Start
  • Freyry → End
  • System Tray → Start
  • Digital Clock → End

Apply and accept.

To ensure all Plasma elements render correctly, refresh the desktop: press Alt + F2 and enter the following command: plasmashell --replace.

Applying themes, colors, and icons

Apply the Plasma theme and color scheme from the terminal:

plasma-apply-desktoptheme Clay.Theme && plasma-apply-colorscheme DeepinV2

Open the KDE System Settings:

systemsettings
KDE System Settings

In the left panel, go to “Colors & Themes” and configure the following:

  • Window Decorations → select Clay
  • Icons → select ColorFlow.Agresive.Color

Wallpaper

At this point the desktop should look very similar to the screenshot at the top. The only thing left is the wallpaper; download it from here.
