Being so popular desktop, I really wonder why its so hard to enable it in lubuntu?

Ive seen in youtube we have to do this and that, why not built in and as a standard?

With Lubuntu 20.10 what is the best way to enable dark mode or theme,
I want all of them to be dark, file manager, lubuntu menus, and so on,


I did follow this link: Lubuntu 20.04 fully dark theme (background windows too)?

(https://discourse.lubuntu.me/t/lubuntu-20-04-fully-dark-theme-background-windows-too/1219)

but it makes the menu start icon goes blank, why not make it into built in official?

Threads merged. Please do not start duplicate threads.

Again: Are you asking for help here? Do you have a specific question about how to make this work?

Why not build it in as standard? Because not everyone would like it.

Lubuntu uses Openbox as the window manager. Open the Openbox settings and choose a dark theme. If you go to:
https://www.box-look.org/browse/cat/140/order/latest/
You can install any theme you like, then choose it.

I solved it by my self, by using kvantum manager,

####kvantum (unified theme manager)
apt install adapta-kde

# For additional themes
apt install qt5-style-kvantum-themes
