      Thanks! If you can help spread the word about it or find contributors, please help, because I almost know nothing about c++, and this attempt of revival is made with the hope that if I allow more commits than boehs, the project will stand back on it’s own feet

        @Bali10050 Incidentally Evan (Boehs - the guy you forked from) is somewhat active on Mastodon, so if you wanted to get in touch with him it probably wouldn’t be hard; he might help point people toward your fork. In case that information is helpful at all.

        My capacity to contribute would be extremely limited, but I starred the repo at least, maybe I can chip in a bit at some point in the future.

        You might want to cross post this into Linux communities too 👍 Best of luck

    This seems very worthwhile, good on you for forking and resurrecting this.

    It might be worth you updating the about page to say what lightly is - I had to google and find the original git to work it out. I’m still not even entirely clear - this seems to be more than a theme? As well as retheme Breeze It also seems to expand on what Breeze does?

    Your project can stand on its own merits rather than just referencing defunct projects - that might help future new contributors better understand what the ask is and get then more interested / excited about helping?

      Used it years ago, it’s pretty, when it works… but it kept breaking and messing up other things.
