Digikam is a KDE-based image organizer with built-in editing features via a plugin architecture.

## Installation

Install digikam.

### Non-KDE Installations

In order to allow icons to display (no missing icons) correctly when you are not running a KDE desktop environment you must install a KDE icon theme and activate it in Digikam's settings.

Install breeze-icons

Once installed you should configure Digikam to use the icons:

1. Navigate to Settings > Configure digiKam > Miscellaneous
2. Now in Appearance, select "Breeze" or "Breeze Dark" as Icon Theme

Restart Digikam and enjoy consistent icons within the app.

## Troubleshooting

### Unreadable tool tips

DigiKam has its own widget style setting. If tooltips are either blank (empty rectangles), or unreadable due to a poor foreground and background combination, choose a different widget style:

1. Navigate to Settings > Configure digiKam > Miscellaneous
2. Now in Appearance, choose "Fusion" as Widget Style

From Digikam's docs:

  Fusion style is the best choice under all desktop
