This commit represents a major branding push for Antergos NeXT, adding
complete Plasma theming, fixing the SDDM login screen, expanding the
wallpaper collection, and removing inappropriate content.
NEW PACKAGES:
- antergos-plasma-theme: Complete KDE Plasma desktop theme suite
(pkgrel=1). Contains:
* antergos-dark/colors — full color scheme with Antergos brand blue
(#2EA3F2) accent on dark (#232629) background, ported from Artix
dark theme and fully rebranded
* antergos-dark/metadata.json — theme metadata
* antergos-dark/plasmarc — configures default wallpaper
(antergos-wallpaper), contrast effect, and adaptive transparency
* antergos-dark/icons/start.svgz — custom start menu button icon
using the Antergos logo (blue circle + geometric mark). KDE Plasma
loads the start menu icon from the theme's own icons/ directory
(the 'default' theme provides fallbacks like start.svgz for all
themes; any theme can override by placing its own start.svgz in its
icons/ dir). This is the canonical way to set a distro-specific
start button icon — NOT via the Freedesktop icon theme
(start-here-*) or plasmarc [Icons] settings, which only affect
system tray icons and KCM previews respectively. Source SVG from
EliverLara/candy-icons (GPL-3.0).
* antergosdark.desktop/ — look-and-feel package with:
- contents/defaults — presets for color scheme, widget style, icons
- contents/layouts/org.kde.plasma.desktop-layout.js — default panel
layout with kickoff, pager, task manager, system tray, clock
- contents/splash/Splash.qml — text-based splash screen showing
'Antergos' + 'NeXT' with progress bar (no external image deps)
- antergos-sddm-theme: Rebuilt SDDM login manager theme from scratch
(pkgrel=1). Fixes critical layout bugs in the Artix-origin theme:
* Session and layout combo boxes moved to a separate bottom bar
(anchored to parent.bottom) so they don't overlap the login card
* Dropdown lists open UPWARD (anchors.bottom: container.top) to
prevent overlapping other controls and the login form
* Arrow icons (angle-up.png) flipped to point correct direction for
upward-opening dropdowns
* Built-in background.png (1920x1080 dark gradient) eliminates
dependency on external wallpaper packages at SDDM time
* Fixed deprecated QML Connections syntax
(onCurrentLayoutChanged -> function onCurrentLayoutChanged())
* theme.conf references local background.png
* metadata.desktop with Antergos NeXT branding
* Components: custom ComboBox.qml (upward dropdown with transparent
arrow default), LayoutBox.qml (keyboard layout selector), qmldir
(module definition)
UPDATED PACKAGES:
- antergos-next-desktop-settings (pkgrel 1->2):
* Added Antergos-dark-qt5.conf — Qt5ct color scheme config so Qt5
applications inherit the dark theme colors
* Added Antergos-dark-qt6.conf — Qt6ct color scheme config for Qt6
application compatibility
* Enhanced kdeglobals with complete color sections:
- [General]: ColorScheme=AntergosDark, font=Roboto,11,-1,5,50,0,0
- [Icons]: Theme=breeze-dark
- [KDE]: widgetStyle=Breeze, LookAndFeelPackage=antergosdark.desktop
- [Colors:Button], [Colors:Selection], [Colors:View],
[Colors:Window] with full fg/bg/alt/decoration values
* Updated plasma-override to reference antergos-dark theme
- antergos-wallpapers (pkgrel 5->6):
* Added antergos-darkest-hour.jpg — 'Darkest Hour' wallpaper from KDE
Plasma 5.14 collection (GPL-2+, artist Risto Saukonpaa). Dark blue
moody landscape at 2560x1600 with ~30% average brightness, ideal
for dark-themed desktops. Installed as a separate KDE wallpaper
entry (antergos-darkest-hour) with its own metadata.desktop so
users can select it alongside the original brand wallpaper.
* Also installed to /usr/share/backgrounds/antergos/ and
/usr/share/antergos/backgrounds/ for non-KDE wallpaper pickers.
- packages.yaml: Added entries for antergos-plasma-theme and
antergos-sddm-theme. Sorted alphabetically.
REMOVED PACKAGES:
- antergos-next-memes: Removed entirely. Contained
'its-raining-tacos.opus' — an audio meme file (It's Raining Tacos)
inappropriate for a serious distribution. Antergos NeXT aims to be a
professional-quality EndeavourOS/Artix derivative, not a joke distro.
