## Overview
_Klassy_ (formerly _ClassiK_/_ClassikStyles_) is a highly customizable binary Window Decoration, Application Style and Global Theme plugin for recent versions of the KDE Plasma desktop.
Klassy configuration with the default _Kisweet_ preset:
Install with the instructions below, and then make sure _Klassy_ is enabled in System Settings -> Appearance -> Window Decorations, in System Settings -> Appearance -> Application Style and in System Settings -> Appearance -> Icons.
>(Above Preset: Glassy Klassy, Colours: Klassy Dark)
* Also provides _Oxygen/Breeze_ and _Redmond_ button icons.
* Provides a Window Decoration, Application Style and Icons so that icons in dockable panels, MDI applications, context menus and GTK applications consistently match the main titlebar icons (make sure to enable all 3 in your Plasma Appearance settings!):
> [](http://paulmcauley.com/kde/klassy/klassy_demo.webm)
* Configurable button size, shape, translucency, colours and outlining.
* Default buttons are "Integrated Rounded Rectangles" with translucent outlined accent colours, with a large clickable area. These are designed to complement the "Blue Ocean" design refresh in Plasma 5.23, along with the Plasma 5.23 accent colour feature. Shown below with _Klasse_ icons (inspired by KDE1):
> 
* Alternative "Traffic lights" background colours:
> 
* Alternative "Full-height Rounded Rectangle" button shape (_ClassiK v3_ preset):
> 
> 
> 
* Full-height Rectangular (_ClassikStyles_ preset) or Circular (_Classik-Aurorae_ preset) button highlights:
> 
* Ability to inherit system colour-scheme highlight colours for hover and focus, as well as titlebar colour. Auto-enhances contrast in cases where it is poor.
* Option to have matching titlebar colour and border colour.
* Configurable button spacing (left and right), titlebar margins (sides, top/bottom and option for different maximized), corner radius; all with scaling for HiDPI:
> 
* Transparency/opacity configurable for both active/inactive titlebars/headers; setting to make maximized windows opaque; blur is configurable:
* Configurable thin window outline with optional accent colours:
> 
> 
* Configurable scrollbars:
> 
* Configurable animations
* Ability to load icons from the system icon theme. `window-*-symbolic` icons are recommended for this purpose. If the icons have been designed properly with SVG CSS properties then they will be colourized by default. You can also force the colourization of any symbolic icon by checking the _Force-colourize icons_ window decoration setting.
## Installation
_Klassy_ version 6.4 requires __Plasma 6.3__, or later, so please check you have this in kinfocenter before trying to install. You can either download the pre-built packages or compile from source.
### Pre-built packages
[Respositories are available from the Open Build Service](https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Apaul4us&package=klassy) for OpenSUSE, Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, Mageia and Arch/Manjaro to keep you on the latest version.
Raw .rpm, .deb etc. binary packages are also available from the Open Build Service link above if you choose "Grab binary packages directly". [Download a KDE Neon .deb here](https://github.com/paulmcauley/klassy/releases/download/6.4.breeze6.4.0/klassy_6.4.breeze6.4.0-1_amd64_KDE_Neon_6.3.deb).

### Gentoo Linux package
There is a package available for Klassy in the [guru](https://github.com/gentoo/guru) repository.
You can install Klassy on Gentoo Linux by following these steps.
First, install the `eselect repository` module with:
```
sudo emerge -av app-eselect/eselect-repository
```
Enable the `guru` repository by executing:
```
sudo eselect repository enable guru
```
Sync the repositories:
```
sudo emaint sync -r guru
```
Add the package keywords to `/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords`:
```
echo "=gui-apps/klassy-6.4::guru ~amd64" | sudo tee /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/klassy
```
Finally, compile & install the package with:
```
sudo emerge -av =gui-apps/klassy-6.4::guru
```
## System icon theme
To make your Plasma Desktop fully consistent, Klassy auto-generates "Klassy" and "Klassy Dark" system icon themes whenever a window-decoration setting changes. These add consistent titlebar button icons to certain minor context menus in Plasma, and also add consistent GTK application titlebar icons.
> 
These icons inherit the _Breeze_ icon theme by default, only overriding the titlebar button icons. Another icon theme may be inherited by changing the setting in the Window Decoration settings under the _System Icon Generation..._ button.
## Klassy Settings
Klassy includes a settings application, `klassy-settings`. This shows Window Decoration and Application Style settings in one place.
`klassy-settings` also has command-line options to allow Preset file imports, load Presets and generate system icons. Run `klassy-settings --help` for details.
