    Neither did I, but here we are. Going a bit too far outside the scope of a digital painting program that one day decided to include animation features, but at least they have the resources to do it.

    Meanwhile (the) GIMP is still trying to reach the 3.0 release and its devs keep being ultradefensive to whatever critique is done to the project…

    Hope Krita doesn’t take +10 years to move to Qt6 as GIMP has took moving to freaking GTK+3.













  • If you’re using Arch and it’s in the AUR, I’d look into that. Otherwise you’d need to compile it by yourself.

    If you don’t feel like compiling stuff, you’d want to file a bug against your distro so there’s someone willing to step up as a package mantainer to prepare a package for it and make it available for your distro.

    Afaik the “original” Lightly was born as a fork of Breeze, which in turn was born a fork of KDE4’s Oxygen. So all of them are written in pure C++.

    Now, I heard Luwx/Lightly was stalled so they forked it in boehs/Lightly, merged some pending patches and even did a new branch to port it to Qt6 - but last time I tried to compile it, it failed. Not sure if they’re still working on it, though. (From my part never liked Breeze but found about Brise, which I found much more torerable).

    If I were you I’d try to get in touch with the mantainers of boehs/Lightly. If that doesn’t work, I’d go to ask the KDE VDG (I guess they should be reachable at discuss.kde.org); at least they should redirect you to someone versed in Qt C++ styling - which is very complicated, at least for me, 'cause C++ is no easy thing and it seems there’s almost no documentation at all about the subject. Pinheiro himself struggled to find someone with enough knowledge of C++ to help him with his O^2 theme.

    If that doesn’t work either for whatever reason, which I doubt ever happens, I’d try asking Carl Schwan as a last resort, the guy that came up with Brise. He helped me with a stupid patch for it - of course he knows his thing and seems to be very cool.
