Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This is Octopi, a powerful Pacman frontend using Qt (4/5) libs, compatible with Antergos, Arch Linux, ArchBang, Chakra, KaOS, Manjaro, mooOS and Netrunner Rolling.
You'll need a privilege escalation tool to use it, once running it as root will not work. Octopi supports kdesu and gksu for that.
Enjoy!

Thank you for Octopi, nice idea... but I can't get it use the Qt4 theme I defined (I tried with GTK+ style and QtCurve).
Can you help me, please and tell me what's happening?

Thank you in advance for your answer and have a nice day! :)

You can click over the repository column, so it'll sort the package list by it.
When you start Octopi again, it'll remember your settings.
Bye.
