This is an evolution of Simplewaita, which deserves its own name. Now it really intends to look old-school, hence the name. For now, the README contains the same than before, after this paragraph. It will be updated.

It is a skeuomorphic theme (that is, non-flat, that tries to imitate real-world objects and interfaces, like real three-dimensional buttons). It tries to use as little CPU as possible to draw widgets (no round corners, no gradients, almost no box-shadows and almost no transparency, except where it is unavoidable to keep usability). It also tries to be extremely _legible_, that is: the function of every element should be obvious. I have decided to make a compromise, though: toolbar buttons (and a few others) are not raised by default (because in some apps it may make the UI look too crowded, like "too many things happening").
Because of these design decisions, it looks very much like a theme from the 90s. It may even have som pixel art flavor too, beacuse all borders are two pixels wide, and relief is widely used to help distinguish elements.

I have decided to make a compromise, though: toolbar buttons (and a few others) are not raised by default (because in some apps it may make the UI look too crowded, like "too many things happening"). Draggable elements (sliders, reorderable tabs, some separators) have a dotted pattern.

This theme's colors are light, with orange and brown accents. It's not very bright, so it is easy on the eyes.

- Other QT desktops:
- copy Simple.conf in `kde_plasma_qt/qt5_or_6ct_color_scheme/` to `~/.config/qt5ct/colors` (to activate it, you need to use qt5ct or qt6ct to manage the aspect of your QT applications)
- Do the same as with Plasma for Kvantum
- Gnome 42 and libadwaita: link or copy its `Simplewaita/gtk-4.0/gtk.css` to `~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css` and the folder `Simplewaita/gtk-4.0/assets` to `~/.config/gtk-4.0/assets` (linking is the recommended option, especially if you use the cloned repo).
- Gnome and libadwaita: link or copy its `Simplewaita/gtk-4.0/gtk.css` to `~/.config/gtk-4.0/gtk.css` and the folder `Simplewaita/gtk-4.0/assets` to `~/.config/gtk-4.0/assets` (linking is the recommended option, especially if you use the cloned repo). This theme is quite tested under Gnome!
(note: you can also use the strategy of creating symbolic links for Kvantum and color scheme).
