I think this is a big accessibility issue. Please let tabs be tabs. This design seems too similar to Firefox's new design where it's hard to tell which tab is active (specially if you have only two open). I feel like tabs should be attached to the viewport/content otherwise they look like buttons where my intuition is to click on an active to tab to activate it

No hating on you, but floating tabs really don't sit well with me, to the point I use CSS to revert them to regular tabs in Firefox lol
Why isn't this aligned?

Because the programming language I actually know is python, in c++ I'm currently barely above the „hello world”-level. It also annoys me, but at the moment I haven't yet figured a way out to align it properly, as soon as I do, I'll promise that I will align it
Looks great 👍
I still can't use it :( It compiles now, but when trying to set it all I get is this:
What distro do you have?
You should try installing these dependencies:
cmake extra-cmake-modules kdecoration qt5-declarative qt5-x11extras kcoreaddons kcmutils kcolorscheme kconfig kguiaddons kiconthemes kwindowsystem
I'm not familiar with gentoo's packaging system, so I can't tell you what command should you use, but if you find a way to install it properly, you can help the project by writing a segment to the readme about the installing of dependencies in gentoo
Lightly half works for me on Plasma 6 following instructions on the qt6 version on GitHub. The window decorations and Lightly-related aspects of the plasma theme work, but I can't apply the application style.
What os do you use?
The best I can say is to try installing these as dependencies, because I'm starting to get lost in the ubuntu based distros different package sources
sudo apt install kf6-kcoreaddons-dev kf6-kcolorscheme-dev kf6-kguiaddons-dev kf6-kiconthemes-dev kf6-kconfig-dev kf6-ki18n-dev kf6-kwindowsystem-dev kf6-kirigami-dev kf6-kcmutils-dev
I now found a way to properly install it onto KDE neon, now a fully working guide is on the readme if you're still interested:
Love it, you should probably rename your fork to something like lighter or idk bulb?
Could call the fork "nightly" lol
I'll try renaming it, but it probably is a long process, until that, please help me choose a name
I like it!
yeah floating tabs are nice
