## What it is
Lightly is a modern, minimalistic Qt application style forked from KDE's Breeze theme, with transparency options for Dolphin views and sidebars. The repository is archived and no longer maintained since 2021, with Darkly suggested as an active fork.

## Use cases
- modernize the look of Qt applications on Linux
- get a minimalistic alternative to the Breeze theme
- add transparency effects to Dolphin file manager views
- customize sidebar and titlebar opacity in KDE
- style KDE Plasma desktop applications

## When to choose
- you want a modern, minimal Qt style and accept no updates
- you need Breeze-compatible transparency tweaks on older KDE setups

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software or KDE Plasma 6 support
- you want bug fixes or new features - use the Darkly fork instead
