    I created a fork today on github, and I started writing a new readme, and I fixed the installation for plasma 6, based on the instructions found in the fork of boehs' issues tab

    https://github.com/Bali10050/Lightly

    I plan to do this as a side project, and it most likely will depend on others contributions, because I almost know nothing about c++. Luckily Luwx left the project as mostly done, so if we can just maintain it, and help people fix their issues, then the job is done, and if we can make some buttons nicer, or something, then forking it from boehs will become a really great decision, not just a useless splitting of resources.

    The original hasn't been touched in years, and even boehs' most recent commit was 7 months ago. I plan on creating a new readme first, and fixing the install(currently you can only install it onto plasma6 if you follow a guide from the boehs fork issues page), then if I can find people that are interested, I'll start packaging it to some distros. If I can do all this, I'll start adding my own developments to it. Also, this fork will be very different from boehs in that he doesn't want to diverge too far from upstream, but I don't really care about the catch-up game, I think that it only holds up the development
