The installation path is correct.

There's only a small thing that needs a short story:

Ambiance was inspired by a an old GTK theme with the same name in Ubuntu. It doesn't exist anymore but was a light theme.

Kvantum has a light theme called "KvAmbiance" (different from "KvAmbience") which matches it exactly and was made for use under Unity. Since Gnome devs wanted a monopoly on GTK themes, they made theme making harder and harder. So, Ambiance became impossible after a while.

EDIT:

base_color=#ffffff, window_color=#f2f1f0, highlight_color=#f07746, etc.

So what do you mean with this? We shouldn't add a ambiance palette but we have an "ambiance" theme?

No. I just mean Ambiance is a light theme, with the above-mentioned colors. It fits the dark Ambiance LXQt style (→ screenshots of old versions of Ubuntu).

Ok, thanks,got it now.
I just took menu (background)colors for window colors.
But as things evolve: we could have "ambiance bright" and "ambiance dark"?

Ambiance had dark menus and light windows. It was a dark-and-light theme.

Qt palettes can't support dark-and-light themes but Qt styles can (as far as I know, only Kvantum does). This is how Ubuntu's Ambiance looked like:

We should finish this here. I was thinking - if doable - about an checkbox "Set also matching color scheme" in themes settings.

That reddit page is about what the user calls "color profile". Either he has an outdated version of LXQt or he hasn't launched the config dialog — most probably, the first.

There's a merge conflict. Would you fix it?

If it has passed your tests and you don't have a plan to change it, please merge it. We could enhance it later if needed.

Hopefully, I'll remember what minor problem I saw in some Panel themes and fix it.

Tested on my other PC, some link colors could be improved.
