Linux Dolphin自定义主题教程

Prerequisites for Customizing Dolphin
Dolphin is the default file manager for the KDE Plasma desktop environment, so to use and customize it, you need a KDE-based Linux distribution (e.g., Kubuntu) or install KDE Plasma on your existing system (e.g., Ubuntu). If you’re on a standard GNOME-based Ubuntu, follow these steps to switch to KDE Plasma:

1. Open Terminal and run:

   sudo apt update &
       &
        sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktop dolphin
   

2. During installation, select KDE Plasma as the default desktop environment when prompted.
3. Log out and choose “Plasma” from the login screen to start using Dolphin.

Method 1: Change Dolphin Themes via System Settings
The easiest way to customize Dolphin’s appearance is through the KDE System Settings:

1. Open System Settings (click the application menu and search for “System Settings”).
2. Navigate to Appearance > Dolphin Appearance.
3. Under the Theme tab, select a pre-installed theme (e.g., “Breeze”) from the dropdown list.
4. Click Apply to see changes immediately. Pre-installed themes are stored in /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/.

Method 2: Manually Install and Apply Themes
To use third-party themes (from KDE Store or GNOME-Look.org), follow these steps:

1. Download a Theme: Visit trusted sites like KDE Store or GNOME-Look.org and download Dolphin-compatible themes (usually in .tar.xz or .zip format).
2. Extract the Theme: Use a file manager (right-click > Extract Here) or terminal command (e.g., tar -xf theme.tar.xz) to extract the theme folder.
3. Install the Theme:
   • For user-only use (recommended): Copy the theme folder to ~/.local/share/plasma/desktoptheme/ (create the folder if it doesn’t exist).
   • For system-wide use (all users): Copy the folder to /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/ (requires root permissions: sudo cp -r theme/ /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/).
4. Apply the Theme: Open Dolphin’s Settings > Configure Dolphin > Appearance, select your new theme from the Theme tab, and click Apply.

Customize Icons for Dolphin
To change file/folder icons used by Dolphin:

1. Download Icon Themes: Get KDE-compatible icon packs from KDE Store or GNOME-Look.org (look for “KDE-compatible” tags).
2. Install Icons:
   • For user-only use: Extract the icon pack and place it in ~/.local/share/icons/.
   • For system-wide use: Extract to /usr/share/icons/.
3. Apply Icons: In Dolphin’s Settings > Configure Dolphin > Appearance, go to the Icons tab, select your installed icon theme, and click Apply.

Adjust Panels and Toolbars
Optimize Dolphin’s workspace by customizing panels (sidebar) and toolbars:

1. Customize Sidebar: Right-click the sidebar and select Configure Sidebar. Here, you can add/remove widgets (e.g., Bookmarks, Devices) or reorder them using drag-and-drop.
2. Edit Toolbars: Go to Settings > Configure Toolbars. Drag-and-drop actions (e.g., Copy, Paste) to/from the toolbar, or click Configure… to change button icons/text (e.g., replace text with icons for a cleaner look).

Optional: Add KDE Plasma Widgets
Enhance Dolphin’s functionality with Plasma widgets (e.g., File Watcher to monitor file changes):

1. Right-click an empty area of the desktop and select Add Widgets.
2. Choose a widget (e.g., “File Watcher”) and drag it to the desired location (e.g., desktop or panel). While this doesn’t modify Dolphin directly, it integrates with the KDE desktop to improve usability.

Important Notes

• Backup First: Before making changes (e.g., editing config files or replacing system files), back up your data to avoid loss.
• Compatibility: Ensure themes/icons are compatible with your Dolphin/KDE Plasma version (check theme documentation).
• Dependencies: Some themes may require additional packages (e.g., Qt libraries). Install them via your package manager (e.g., sudo apt install qt5-style-plugins) if prompted.
