The Website Bourne Creative states the following of the color purple:
"Purple combines the calm stability of blue and the fierce energy of red. The color purple is often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition. Purple also represents meanings of wealth, extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity, grandeur, devotion, peace, pride, mystery, independence, and magic."*
If the above is true, then the Darkine Theme for KDE Plasma just might be for you.**
Combining royal elements, smooth colorful icons, kool colors of purple with bright accent colors, and using the awesome Kvantum SVG-based engine for Plasma, Darkine may be just the thing to change up your Plasma desktop this weekend.

Getting and installing Darkine
Full instructions can be found on the project's homepage, which includes instructions as well as a handy installation script. Also make sure you have the Kvantum Engine installed to handle this theme. |

For some reason this theme in this project really caught my eye for being something elegant and a bit different. We all know versatility is what makes Linux so great so perhaps some of you will enjoy using this theme. If so, do you let us know!
