 Hey everybody, welcome back to the channel today I'm going to be talking about how you can go through and rice or customize KDE plasma to look like Mac OS big sir now This is something that's very popular on r slash Unix porn. So that's kind of why I'm doing it Personally, this is probably not the rice that I would do for my own personal setup, but Maybe it is and I also say this that I've not done this actually Recently so some of the processes or things is are going to be different than what I was used to before Back when I was you know, rising KDE to look like Mac OS. So I'm just in typical matte fashion expect things to go wrong so This is what KDE looks like right now And this is just what it looks like out of the box when you install it on men jar from the men jar repose It's not what the men jar rice looks like because that's like if you use the KDE spin of man jar That has all the KDE Manjaro, you know theming. So this is just what KDE plasma will look like out of the box So I will I'm just gonna say this right now. This is an involved process. So expect this to be a fairly long video Pause it as you do things. I would say that's how I you know did it from the tutorial that I learned from I'll show you something you can pause it and you know Keep going. So the first thing we're gonna do is we're gonna open open up the settings app here now The first then we're going to want to go to workspace behavior Okay, and then desktop effects and We're gonna want to type in blur Okay, and then we're going to want to hit the little we're gonna want to turn it on first and Then hit the little settings icon there. We're gonna turn turn noise strength to zero So all the way to the to the bottom this can stay the same just do okay, and And KDE plasma you're gonna always want to make sure you're applying things as you go move between screens just in case So I'm gonna hit pretty much hit apply every single time I change something. So we're gonna stay right on the same screen And we're gonna want to set wobbly windows. So we just type in wobbly windows Chances are you won't need to type in the entire Word so you want to turn this on and then Hit the The cocky for settings And we want to turn off wobble when resizing and then turn the wobbliness all the way up Okay, and then again apply Okay, so the next thing we want to do is again, we're gonna say right on the same window type in Magic lamp and again turn it on and then we want to check the The cog icon again and type in 400 milliseconds Okay, and then hit okay, and then again apply then we're done in When desktop effects for the meantime the next one we want to do is turn off screen edges So we go here to screen edges Just go to click no action no action and then hit apply okay, and The next thing we want to do is go to window management, which is back out here in The main menu window management and we want to go to advanced and We want to make sure that this here says centered Okay, and then apply That makes it basically means everything that spawns is going to appear in the center of the screen. I Know I'm moving along quite fast. I just want don't want this video to last for like four hours Preferably less than a half an hour would be nice So the next thing we want to do is go to task switcher Which is here along the side and We want to go to where it says visualization and then we want to make sure this here says large icons and then apply and Then we want to click k-win scripts And then we want to get new scripts And we want to type in where the search side. It should be a search thing here somewhere. Maybe there's not Okay, apparently you can't search for things for new scripts anymore. You should be able to search for new scripts I guess we're just going to that's a bit weird, huh as you can tell I told you the Apparently the tutorials we're looking for here is force blur Yes, there's no way to search. I mean there has to be a way to search to these, right? It doesn't guess it doesn't matter. We'll just go through and do this one and it download force blur I think it's downloading Yep, it's downloaders. We use it close and then we want to enable force blur and and Hit apply. Okay Now it's time to just set some themes. So we're gonna go back out here to the main window and We're gonna want to go to global theme and We're going to want to hit get new global themes See, there's a search bar in this one And we're gonna want which is good because then I don't have to go through and search through all these Just to find the one that I want. We're gonna want to type in white Sir Enter Okay, and here's white sir. Now you can do the white sir dark. I'm just going to install white sir And it's going to be the first one. I believe that we want to do Yeah, we'll just do this one. I think it's the right one honestly in that selection thing I always wish that they would just Choose the one that was the most recent instead of giving you several options Once this is installed, we'll go to the next step. I don't know how long this will take Oh, you're gonna have we're gonna have to enter this Which is dumb because I'm not even using SDDM Installing Installing Oh, there we go. I think close. I'm gonna do this and then we want to hit apply Okay, so we're on our way as you can see it. We're actually gotten some Effects of this already we have some blur here and We got you know Starting look cool, right? All right So the next thing we want to do is make sure that's like I said That's applied here and we want to make sure it's also applied in plasma style, which it is oops I think I just deleted that thing Don't accidentally delete the thing. So like I just did anyways, it's already applied So we don't need to go through and apply it again and then we want to go through to application style here and we want to go to window decorations and Then we want to make sure that white sirs applied which it is All right, and then the next thing we want to do is stay here in application style and Type go into your application style here And then we wanted to go down here and configure. You know, I'm g2k application style Okay, and then we want to hit download new Let's get new, you know application styles and we want to type in Big sir and then enter and that should be You know, I'm actually not sure which one of these it is Search big sir in so non-dark theme is what my instructions say so we're just gonna assume it is this one We may end up having to come through and redo this one, but it should be right Okay, close and we want to select it from the list which should be Let's see here. This one here. Okay, and apply Okay Now if you're running an older version of plasma, you may have one for GTK 2 and GTK 3 Just make sure you select it for both Okay, so the next thing you want to do is go back to window decorations and then title bar buttons And we want to move these around so that they're in the right spots. We're gonna get rid of These two things here. Just completely get rid of them. We're gonna move the close button and the maximize button and The minimize button over here, then we'll rearrange them So that may be the wrong order change these into the order that you're most comfortable with and then just apply And you can see the buttons moved into the proper places Okay now We're going to go back to the main menu and hit colors and Then we got to make sure white shirts white sir is enabled which it is good Okay, the next thing we want to do is go to cursors, which is here okay the next so I'm gonna go to cursors get new cursors And we're gonna type in Mick Mojave so MC MOHA V and Enter button and that didn't type that didn't actually find anything with us core because of course it didn't Okay, well, we're gonna try again Mac we just call it Mac So what we get for that? so Apparently the one that I'm supposed to use Mick Mojave is not here So we'll just use the Mac OS big sir Once here, we'll just install this Which one I'm supposed to install I'm not sure this is what I'm talking about Then you this is probably the biggest problem with KDE still is they bring up this thing on the comm I supposed to know What these things are there's no way to know unless you go to the KDE store and look which I don't want to do So we're just gonna choose the one at the top Yes possibly by dark Okay Okay, so apparently that's the wrong one. We'll just hit no Okay, we'll try one of the other ones Usually the tire balls work better. I should have noticed that. Yeah, we got that one. It's all okay. We just want to type in Actually wiser seems to have come with one. I don't know why we need to change it We'll just leave it this one here and then of course I deleted the damn thing That's another thing you really kid. He really has got a fix you hover over something to select it You accidentally, you know hit the the trash icon. So Anyways, cursors are done. The next thing we want to do is start up and shut down which is under Which is here and the settings app crash awesome sauce, okay Well, we'll try again and Then Here we go Those wobbly windows this If you're an old-school Linux user, yeah, that's the way windows used to move around Yeah, all right start them shut down and we're going to want them the splash screen Which is here and we'll want to make sure white shirt white sir is enabled which it is Okay All right now You thought all that was complicated wait until we get into covanta, so not the next step is It's 13 steps long So we're gonna want to install covanta So in order to do that you're going to need to get into the your software center Now if you're on an arch-based sister like manjaro Or you know regular arch or whatever you can install this from the from the arch Repositories if you're on Ubuntu, I believe it's in the Ubuntu part repositories, but I'm not sure All right for our purposes we're going to Try to see if we can find it in discover Now discover is an horrible application, but we're gonna see if it's there when you search for covanta You should just get the covanta thing, but of course not of course you're not going to do that So we're just gonna close this and we'll see if I don't even know if I have Mac installed I do good excellent Well, that is not play very well with the theming. So we've done so far, but it doesn't matter We just search covanta and then it looks like we already have it installed in my system But you probably won't so once it's installed We're gonna want to close this and we're gonna want to open up a web browser Which apparently conquer is set as the default web browser here, which is Downright hilarious. Okay, so We want to download the non-dark Tarball here. So go to files. Let's see if I can zoom in here so you can actually see this We just want to do white sir. Not the dark one just the white sir. So down click this Download and I believe this is going to put be put in the Wow conquer is weird. I don't know that I've ever used conquer as a web browser Let's open up our file file manager here. We want to find We want to find our downloads and see if it's actually downloaded into the to the downloads folder, which it did not And where did you put it? That's a good question, right? Where did you put it? All right, you want to know what? Screw this We're gonna go to wheel a real work a real web browser Fair Fox. All right Let's see here I need to copy and paste this link the links like said for everything that I download will be in the description with it with the Instructions and that I'm following. So if you miss a step, just scroll down below here And you'll see then the exact instructions that I'm following Not that I'm necessarily saying it over the right instructions because if I make a mistake off these instructions You follow them. You'll make the same mistake, but what are we gonna do? It's the way it's it's it's an adventure. All right, so We're here. We're gonna zoom in files and then download this here here All right download Say we're gonna save file because that's the way things should be and I make sure it's in the downloads folder It's safe. Okay and we can just That was cool. We can just Minimize that because we'll need it again later Now if we open up the file manager, we'll see that it's actually here. Okay Now we want to use extract this here. So we're just gonna do extract extract archive here and now we have a folder called white sir Okay, the next thing you want to do we'll Minimize this and we're gonna want to open up covantum covantum Okay covant the manager here we go and of course to open up on the wrong screen because that's the way things do The next thing I want to do is select covant them theme folder So this button here that button we just that thing we just Downloaded choose and hit install this theme Okay, I'm not sure if it's actually, you know, this thing already exists. Do you want to write it now? Okay? That's weird that it didn't give you any confirmation that it installed but whatever. All right So the next thing we want to do is just click change or delete this theme and We want to hit Select white sir from the drop-down. We should be all the way at the bottom here and click use this theme Okay, and the next thing we want to do is configure active theme, which is the next level here and we want to Underneath compositing in general look we want to change The window opacity to five and we want to change the increased menu opacity to 15 1415 and hit save Okay, and then we want to quit We want to open for settings panel again, which we're here Okay, we want to go to application style And we want to find covantum in this Thing here, which probably is going to be towards the end. I believe maybe no Phantom dark here. We go right here and we want to make sure it's applied Okay, which it is All right. Good That is done with covantum. Now the next thing we're going to be doing is widgets So we need to right click on the desktop and click add widgets and then we're going to want to Up here where it says So we're gonna first we're gonna do First we're gonna so we're gonna hit click Get new widgets up here at the top and then download new plasma widgets Okay, so we're gonna be installing several of these things so Get prepared The first thing we want to do is application title, which happens to be right at the top Install that okay, and then the next thing we want to do is latte separator latte Sep We're just gonna call that because then I want to learn how to spell things and Then the next one we want to do is latte spacer Okay, and then the next one is latte sidebar button latte Sidebar button Okay install this the next one is better inline clock Okay install that Okay, and then the next one is launch pad plasma. It's this one here and then Yes, I believe it's the top one that we want Okay, and then the next one is inline battery now if you do not have a battery in your system You do not have to install this I'm going to go ahead and do it. I don't know if it will work out very why well, but I'm just gonna go ahead install it. I'm on a you know a Desktop, so I don't actually have a battery, but just big sir inline battery will work. Okay And then the next one and I believe the last one No, there's a couple more. Sorry. Excuse me. The next one is it's called the KPPL menu KPPL menu and then install that one The next one is media player Now the one that we're on is called media media controller plus Which is this one right here? Okay, and then now we're in the last one It's called ditto and that's called the ditto menu. So we just install that one and Then we're done with widgets. We've got them all installed. We hit close. Okay That takes care with this now. We move on to latte doc So the first thing we want to do is install the get version of latte doc, which means we're going to have to open up Pumac again. So Yep, and we want to do the search thing here and do latte Doc and we want to make sure like I said, we want to make sure we get the get version, which is this one here and then apply Choose and enter our password wait for that to install apply and Transaction successfully completed. That's always nice to see Still not sure why that's not what well themed But maybe that's just an application problem I told you at the beginning that things are probably going to go wrong, but That's just the way things are sometimes. Alright, so the next thing we're going to want to do is get the doc theme Which is something I'm going to have to copy from this here copy link open up Firefox and Hit ctrl-v Enter Okay, so this is the Layout for our latte docs and we're going to want going to want to download Several things here. We're going to get the large version Which would be the one on top? We're gonna want to download this Download and save okay, and if you want you can go through and Change this one here to suit your needs. They're just small version But there's several other things we want to download. So we're gonna want to download extra icons hit save file save Make sure you remember where you're saving this stuff because Not all browsers save this stuff in the same spot We're also going to want to hit the get the walls wallpaper ones. So we download this this one might actually take a little bit Save and save Okay, and Get wallpapers and launch pad icon if they're there So I don't see the launch pad icon here. I'm hoping that comes in with the extra icons. Okay, so All right, the next thing we want to do is extract all three three Files that we just downloaded so we'll go back to our thing here. We want to extract extract here and then extract extract here And then the icons extract Extract here. All right. Yep. We did get the launchpad icon, which is good. All right Gonna make this a little bit bigger because we're getting a lot of freaking stuff here All right, so the next thing we want to do is open up latte doc Which we can do it from the application menu lot freaking latte and just open this up And then we're gonna have a lock a doc down here. So I Have log out and log back in here for some reason. I don't know why But I'm not going to do that unless I absolutely have to because I really don't want to pause the video and come back and reset all this junk up But for the next thing we're gonna do is remove the panel here. So just edit panel and then More options Remove panel. Okay, so we've removed the panel. Now all we have is latte dog. Okay now That was that was interesting. All right, so we've removed the remove the panel right click on latte doc And it uh, let's see here Layouts which is apparently Maybe this is the reason why Maybe this is the reason why you had to log in and log out because someone's think this stuff doesn't actually show up We should be actually be able to just do edit latte then Maybe Well, that's exactly what we're gonna have to do. We're going to log in and lock out was okay So I'm gonna pause the video here log out log back in reset everything up luckily for you by the time This fades out to black and fades back in I'll done all the work and you know Lucky you that'll be like lickety-split. Okay now that we I've logged back in and gone to the trouble of you know Making sure that this actually works Our next step is to right click on here and hit layouts Manage layouts. We're gonna get this here and then we're going to want to click import and We're going to Want to import the large layout the first file that we just downloaded so we're gonna go on I want to go into downloads and then large latte right here import, okay Click on the new layout Which we just did which is called We're gonna actually see this for this one here and click switch oops, we need to apply and Then switch and there we go cool, huh? That looks we're getting we're getting close So what we just did was we added this doc here. We also added a bar up here. We're just cool, right? That means we don't have to go through and actually add a panel later on so We can click on We can close this here. We're done with this All right. Our next thing we want to do is in the top panel right click Then select configure latte sidebar button I Not sure which one it actually is Right, it's gonna be invisible. All right, so it's right next to the clock configure latte sidebar button And of course I opened up on the wrong monitor and we're going to want to click the blank icon and click choose We have to wait for this to show up here and click other icons and Brows and we're going to want to navigate to the extra icons thing that we just downloaded Which is Hmm, I'm actually got to open this up and see which one it is right to downloads Let's see here Extra Mac and macOS BS extra icons. This thing is called sidebar control center white That this one right here is the one we want. Okay, so Close this And it's called. Let's see here I'm actually not seeing it Yeah, it is right straight We're gonna choose the white one. I think is the one that we want if that's not right We can go back and choose. Yep. That shows it showed up that means we get the cool little, you know Sidebar here. All right, so the next thing we want to do is go to We'll make sure you apply it. Okay Okay, and the next we want to do is right click on the did a menu in the top bar, which is this one here and That can figure did it did a menu which again it opened up in the wrong month. I know I can fix that I'm just not doing it And we want to hit the icon choose Wait for it to show up other icons browse and we're want to choose Did a menu spotlight SVG so this one's here. I also believe we want to use the white one hit apply Okay, that just gives us this search bar, which brings up a spotlight thing that actually didn't showing up all that great I'm assuming that I did something wrong with like the fonts, but I don't think we're actually at the fonts part yet Okay, we hit okay and that we're done with that next we want to do Is right click on the latte doc at the bottom Click add widgets and we're gonna want to do Launchpad and we're gonna want to drag this down to the left side of the dock, which did not work There we go, and that gives us our application menu cool beans, huh? Okay? And we want to right click this and click configure launchpad plasma again wrong menu Wrong wrong monitor right click this choose other icons browse and then we wanted to launch pad SVG open apply Which believe not that didn't actually show up properly. I'm assuming that that would if You logged out and look back in I'm just assuming I'm hoping that that's the case if not hopefully it works better for you Okay, so now We want to actually we're gonna re-click on this figure latte, and we want to click Let's see here. Which one it is. Maybe it's in a layout. No, I'm sorry. I clicked on the wrong thing right click on this Configure launch pad plasma Get the damn thing over to the right screen and we want to enable custom group grid And make this eight by six eight by six apply and that means it it's gonna Show up on the wrong screen again, but there we go. That's what that looks like Again stop showing up on the wrong freaking screen That's really weird If you have multiple monitors, this isn't gonna work out all that great unless you configure the whole Mouth actually want to let's go do that because I'm sick of this Let's see here Cannot remember ever. I think it's workspace behavior. Maybe that's no Window management Movement Window actions. I never remember which where that thing is Focus I think it's gonna be this you know Focus follows mouse and then apply Then I don't have to you know keep moving the damn things are the wrong thing That should always mean that this focuses up on the right monitor You can obviously if you have another monitor, you can just duplicate this doc and put it on your other monitor as well. All right We're done with latte doc now. The next thing is the wallpaper and lock screen So we're gonna want to right click on the desktop And click Let's see you can figure desktop, which is let's see here Figure desktop and wallpaper. Okay, and then we're going to want to click wallpaper Add image and then We're gonna want to select go to the wallpaper one that we just downloaded so it's in the Courses this thing Downloads MacOS walls and we're not just like all these Open Okay, and then the one we want to choose is probably this one here It doesn't really matter which one of these you choose. I'm just gonna choose one of these and apply and There's that okay. All right now we want to open up settings which is here and we're gonna want to go to Start up and shut down Now this is only going to work if you're using the SDDM Logins manager, which I am not I'm using light DM. So I'm gonna show you the steps here here and if you If you are using SDDM, you'll have to follow these things I'm not actually going to follow them because like I said, it won't work for me because I'm not using SDDM so you want to click what get a lot new logged in screens. You want to click a Whicer DDM, so you make sure this is installed It's already installed for me and then you just want to make sure that it's selected here and apply And you're gonna need to enter your password Okay, and then you want to go to the next thing you want to do is go to workspace behavior, which is back up here and then a screen locking and You're going to want to click appearance which Is here and then you want to make sure white sir is Select white sir is what we're supposed to be doing here I'm just going to choose one of these wallpapers because I don't see what the instructions are telling me to do It doesn't really matter for me because like I said I Don't have I don't think I even have SDDM installed. All right, so Now we're moving on to additional settings By the way, we're almost done. We're very very close only two more So these are actually things that we don't actually have to do so If you're in a terminal Using like console we can actually go up here and do settings edit current profile and then change the Transparency and stuff here and stuff. I will leave that to you because What terminal you use is probably going to be different? If you're using console you can just go in here and make it look To your own, you know, you know liking and add you can add transparency and stuff I can actually show you how to do that and edit current profile appearance Let's see here. I believe edit is the right one and then just background transparency apply. Okay Okay, and That actually didn't add any transparency, I don't know why I Don't use console. So I'm completely lost The next thing you will want to do is go up here and click that right click this and click Configure capital capital menu. I'm just gonna call it the capital menu and click show advanced mode And then click change When I change the app store here to whatever app store you want to use here and I'm going to use Panak manager, so We just type in Panak Dash manager and apply Okay, and that way when you open up this and hit app store It'll actually open up the app store that you want to you know, you're supposed to be using and Panak still is not properly themed anyways For the most part We're done. So it doesn't look exactly like I thought it was going to but It's very very close There's some weird artifacting at the bottom of the screen that I don't know What's going on there? I have a Feeling it has something to do with Also, I just keep experiencing clothes as Hey colors it should be When we have white shirt sir and you know enabled so Plasma style should be white sir. We did everything properly. I'm just not sure why that weird thing is at the bottom I'm sure and there's also a weird The latte spacer thing we we need to it needs to not be there Because that looks makes it look really funky clothes not actually sure how to remove it Yeah, there we go and that close It still has a weird Weird space there anyways cancer. You probably will figure out how to do that. So let's uh Close this thing out here because this has been The longest video in the history of videos and I have to go edit it now. So yeah me This is Very very rudimentary Several things here went wrong. So there's that weird space at the bottom. There's that weird space in the thing at the top Those are things that unfortunately You're gonna have to figure it on your own if they happen for you because I don't know what the hell is going on there So thanks for watching if you enjoy this video hit a thumbs up if you find a better tutorial someplace that fixes the issues that I've countered leave it in this video description if You're having problems leave comments, maybe I can go through and help you I'm not an expert on this This is just you know the way it worked out for me. So the last thing I need to do actually is Do this I need to thank our patreon Which I'm actually gonna have to go find his name. So So I would like to thank Devon see I'm just gonna not say your last name like at all because I would butcher it But thank you Devon see for being our patreon This is your first shout out as an executive producer I'll probably make a cool little graphic eventually someday when I'm you know Want to do that so but thank you for that if you'd like to support us on patreon You can do so just go to patreon.com slash the links cast You can also support us by just subscribing, which is you know the easiest way to do it Make sure hit the notification icon because I produce Linux content seven days a week Some of it is as terrible as this some of it is worse. That's just the way it works Anyways, thanks for watching. I'll see you next time
