Installation from within KDE Plasma fails with the following error:
The installation of /tmp/yctRDn-reactionary-global-4.0.tar.bz2 failed, as the downloaded package does not contain any useful meta information, which means it is not a valid KPackage.
9Thanks for this faithful rendition of the Windows Classic visual style.
The only things I don't like are the Windows 95 taskbar icons. Is there a way to get rid of them?

I did noticed it only happens when I also enable the "MS Windows 9x" application style. Which is kind of a must, since without it, the right-click menu looks flat.
Yeah, that's a weird interaction between the style plugin and Plasma. There's not much I can do about it apart from drawing the widget theme in Kvantum and that's a lotta work to end up with just the same look.

As you can see, near the outer edges, you can see the blue of my wallpaper shine through and then the border appears. It's about 1 or 2 pixels of a gap all around.
10Thank you very much! This theme made me happy!
It happens that the titles in the titles do not fit for example (virtual machine manager). But overall, everything works fine.
I'm guessing it's about using the "Global scale 150%" (System setting ->Display configuration parameter). If I change the parameter to 100% everything looks good.

Aurorae seems hard coded to render at 96DPI. For example, with scaling set to 150% (fonts are 144DPI), go to Fonts and use 'Force DPI' to set 96 and Aurorae will render correctly. Unless Aurorae is updated, there's not much I can do.

See my reply on Expose Modern.
Updated all packages.

Taskbar icons are the global icon theme. Just choose a theme you like.
The volume icon is not from the global icon theme.
That's a systray icon. Just delete the icons in the theme directory, usually ~/.local/share/plasma/desktoptheme/Reactionary/icons

Thanks for the upvote.
Thanks for bringing back color support! They look amazing!
10 10 the best. Finally I'm back to productivity!
Is there a matching Kvantum theme?
No, just uses the Windows Qt style. It seems close enough.
9 9 excellent. Slight bug, the right-click menu has a pixel gap in the border surrounding it.
Can you show me a screenshot? I just rely on the Windows Qt style.

Cheers. Can you post a screenshot of the problem so I can fix it?

8 What icon theme are you using?
That's just Oxygen icons. DamasDamas icons also works really well.
