Description:
This theme is a modification of the theme made by pixelocdguy at https://github.com/pixelocdguy/windows-classic
All potentially copyrighted assets have been replaced. I highly recommend replacing them with the ones from the original theme, as the start menu banner was quickly made by me in GIMP. This can be done by either editing "lxqt-panel.qss" or replacing "start-banner.png" and "start-icon.png".
Some of the changes include:
* Buttons (like the start-button and taskbar buttons) are pressable when the mouse cursor is bellow them.
* Various spacing and color changes.
* The searchbar is not awkwardly spaced when searching.
* Added tray expand symbol.
Recommended configurations:
* Increase the width of the spacers, so that they don't clip the image.
* Change the "Task Manager" minimum button width. 163px was used in the screenshot.
Fonts and Clock
Tahoma 8px was used in the screenshot. The clock border will not display correctly if the font is not in the correct size. You can also change the clock border spacing manually by editing the "padding" value of "#WorldClock QLabel" in "lxqt-panel.qss".
Colors
It's recommended to use the "Windows" Qt Style.
By default LXQt handles the colors and gives buttons a hard border (black). If you want the softer borders as seen in the screenshot, you can let the colors be managed by KDE by adding the environment variable "QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME" with a value of "kde" ("kde" with quotes). This is done in "Session Settings" > "Environment (Advanced)". The KDE Plasma "Reactionary" color palette was used in the screenshots.
The default start-button icon is a downscaled version of "/usr/share/lxqt/graphics/helix-bright.png".
I don't need or want any credit if you edit this theme or upload it anywhere else. But be mindful that this theme was originally created by pixelocdguy as mentioned above.
