• For a more consistent look on Qt and KDE apps, please use this theme with the Kvantum engine.
  Run kvantummanager, then choose and apply the Materia theme.
• Install Papirus icon theme for a more consistent and beautiful experience.
• Install and use these widgets: Minimal Menu and Digital Clock WL
• Change the System Settings view to Icons View
• Set the icon size for Toolbar and Main Toolbar to 16px
• Set the border size to No Borders in Window Decoration settings

• Install the Active Window Control and Application Menu widgets, and move them to a panel.
  (NOTE: Application Menu is already included with recent versions of KDE Plasma, so there is no need to install it manually.)
• Disable window buttons and titlebar on window decorations:
  • Open the theme's rc file (Materiarc, Materia-Darkrc, or Materia-Lightrc) on the Aurorae themes folder (this is usually located in ~/.local/share/aurorae/themes or /usr/share/aurorae/themes) and change the following lines:

    ButtonHeight=0
    ButtonWidth=0
    TitleHeight=0
    TitleEdgeTop=0
    

  • To hide window buttons on GTK 3 apps, use the GTK3-noCSD script

On systems using the proprietary NVIDIA video driver, Aurorae window decorations do not render properly by default with all themes.

Wrong rendering	Correct rendering

To fix that, use this config on ~/.Xresources:

Xft.dpi:       96
Xft.antialias: true
Xft.hinting:   true
Xft.autohint:  false
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.rgba:      rgb

Restart your PC to apply these changes.

Recent Qt and KDE apps now use QML or Kirigami — these do NOT fully support theming on any engine because more elements are hardcoded. Please do not submit new issues regarding such apps; we can't do anything to fix them.

Affects apps include, but are not limited to:

• Muon Discover
• Kirigami Gallery
• Ikona
• Alligator
• Kaidan
• Elisa
• KDE Itinerary
• KTrip
• Kirogi
• VVave (ex Babe)
• Keysmith
• Calindori
• KDE Connect SMS Module
• Some systemsettings5 and kcm modules
• and more...

• Materia skin for VLC
• Telegram theme
• Pegasus Frontend theme
