You want to modernize the appearance of your KDE4. Watch this video to find out how you can make your KDE4 look as good as Plasma 5, if not better.
The steps shown in the video:
1. Install Qtcurve
2. KDE settings → Application Appearance and in the Style tab activate Qtcurve.
3. Import this file Flat.qtcurve (Download: goo.gl/2HTltL )
4. Change the color settings by importing Blue_Colors.colors (Download: goo.gl/2HTltL )
5. Install icons. I like the most Paparis, Breeze Classic, and Breeze Remix icons.
6. Enabled font anti-aliasing. Chose “RGB” and “slight”.
7. Select Qtcurve in GTK2 theme. For the GTK3, install Breeze theme github.com/dirruk1/gnome-breeze by placing the two theme folders in your .theme folder. Restart the settings and activate Breeze GTK3 theme.
8. Go to Workspace Appearance and activate Qtcurve window decoration.
9. Install Breeze cursor theme. Download, extract and place the theme in the .icons folder.
10. Install the Breeze theme in the Desktop style.
- Change the splash screen to Minimalistic or Plasma Next.
- Log out and log in
- If you use LibreOffice, install libreoffice-style-breeze. Go to the LibreOffice Options and activate Breeze in the view section.
If you like the wallpapers, they can be download from my Google+ and Facebook:
