Or better, install the qt version of obconf included in repolxqt: | |||
sudo pacman -S obconf-qt-git | |||
But if you've not installed LXQt from the install media you first need to enable repolxqt, or install the AUR package: | |||
yaourt -S obconf-qt-git | |||
Then please choose your preferred window title bar theme in Openbox Configuration Manager . | |||

=Theming A Pure Qt4/5 System= | |||
For customising a pure Qt4/5 system you can use the preinstalled qtconfig-qt4 and its qt5 version, [http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/Qt5+Configuration+Tool?content=168066 qt5ct] which you can easily compile, (as of this writing) if you have qt5 version 5.4.0 or higher. | |||
After installation you need to put this in your <code>~/.bashrc</code> file: | |||
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct | |||
And after a qt5 upgrade you may need to re-install/compile <code>qt5ct</code>. | |||
Your customisation by this tool will not be honoured immediately (only) by <code>pcmanfm-qt</code> which runs in your LXQt system in daemon mode. In order for it to honour your customisation you need to re-login. | |||
In addition to the preinstalled qt theme engines you can install <code>qtcurve-qt4</code> and <code>qtcurve-qt5</code> from the repo by: | |||
sudo pacman -S qtcurve-qt4 qtcurve-qt5 | |||
And you can install <code>virtuality</code> AUR packages by: | |||
yaourt -S virtuality-qt4-git virtuality-qt5-git | |||
Those two theming engines by themselves have some customisability too. With <code>qtcurve</code> you need to manually edit the <code>~/.config/qtcurve/stylerc</code> file. You can, for instance, change the menu bar background colour by | |||
shadeMenubars=#cdcdcd | |||
and then change the popup menu background colour by | |||
shadePopupMenu=true | |||
or change sliders colour by | |||
shadeSliders=origselected | |||
Instead of "origselected" you can enter "selected" or any colour you want. | |||
Another theme engine is <code>kvantum</code>: | |||
yaourt -S kdestyle-kvantum-kde4-git | |||
It doesn't have KDE dependencies, but its said customisation utility seemingly only works in KDE (at this time) as I couldn't see any such utility in my system after installing it. <code>kvantum</code> can be installed as a qt5 app as well, but since there's no separate qt5 AUR package, you need to install it once more as a qt5 app. To do that you should edit the package content when <code>yaourt</code> ask you to; just replace the "qt4" entries with "qt5". | |||
