But, if disabling menu/tooltip shadow and blurring is not possible with them, Kvantum Manager → Compositing & General Look → Shadowless menus and tooltips could be checked as a workaround. In the case of compositors other than KWin, it is preferable that menus and tooltips have neither shadow nor blurring because those compositors cannot distinguish the shadows that Kvantum gives to menus and tooltips. Enabling blur options in Kvantum Manager has effect only when KWin's blur effect is enabled otherwise, there will be no blurring or another compositor will control how translucent backgrounds are blurred. However, Kvantum can control KWin's blur effect with translucent menus and tooltips as well as explicitly translucent windows (like those of QTerminal, Konsole or LXQt Panel). The blur effect of any compositor can be used with Kvantum when its active theme has translucent backgrounds. With it, you could not only switch between themes easily but also select themes for specific applications.įor the running parts of KDE/LXQt to recognize the new Kvantum theme, the easiest way is logging out and in again. It explains each step in a straightforward way. To select or install (as user) Kvantum themes, use Kvantum Manager, which is already installed and is available in the start menu as a utility app. Touching /etc/environment is not recommended. To install Kvantum directly, you have the choice to install the stable package or, preferably, the git package. qt5-tools (for localization if you need it).qt5-base, qt5-svg and qt5-x11extras (for Qt5).gcc (or gcc-multilib for multilib systems).If you want to compile Kvantum from its source, install the following packages: See Distributions for distro specific information on required packages and direct installation methods.
