Hello,
I'm wondering if luci-theme-argon is installable on my Flint2 with openwrt-mt6000-4.6.2 firmware.

If it is possible, witch package should I use?

Thanks
Miles

Yes it is, just follow those steps: GitHub - jerrykuku/luci-theme-argon: Argon is a clean and tidy OpenWrt LuCI theme that allows users to customize their login interface with images or videos. It also supports automatic and manual switching between light and dark modes.

Look in the section Install for OpenWrt official SnapShots and ImmortalWrt

Hi how did you get this to work ?
I used the commands in the GitHub but when you try to run install it states
opkg install luci-theme-argon*.ipk
Collected errors:

  • opkg_install_cmd: luci-theme-argon*.ipk: Illegal file name

Can you confirm that you downloaded these files succesfully?

Yes I have downloaded correct

Use the correct filename instead of *

Is there an "idiot" level guide on how to install these themes? Loading the ipks to luci gives errors.

Usually it should just work aslong it is not APK, ipk is fine, for APK versions you have to compile it to make it compatible.

But you do need to update feeds / package list before installing it, because it also needs dependencies.

Also I'm not sure if it depends also on luci-app-argon then you should install this first.

I've got errors too when I try to install over 4.7.4 stable version (op21).

root@GL-MT6000:~# opkg install /root/luci-theme-argon_2.3.2-r20250207_all.ipk

If the gl repository allows it (since they removed alot of packages unfortunately).

Make sure to first update the package list, this can be done with opkg update or refreshing the plugin list.

Then it should install and find the dependency.

But still it doesn’t install…
