if I go to [systemsettings (Version 5.6.2) >worspace theme > desktop theme] and I choose breeze then click on apply it works, but after reboot I found that AIR theme result selected, so I have again to choose breeze theme.
is there a way to make breeze theme permanent??
manythanks, ciao, pier
my system is running plasma 5.6.2:
PC=Dell latitude E6510, RAM=8Gb, GPU=GT218 NVS 3100M, CPU=i7 Q 720 @ 1.60GHz
upgraded 13.2 to leap 42.1, using wolfi repos. I’m running KDE 4.14.18 and plasma 5.6.2, KDE frameworks 5.21.0, KDE applications 16.03.90, Kernel 4.1.15-8-default
Of course there is, and actually breeze should be the default. So that you have Air shows that it’s possible…
If Plasma doesn’t “remember” the theme you set, it might be because of two reasons, I suppose:
Plasma crashes on exit and therefore the config change is not saved
The config file is corrupted somehow and Plasma gets confused
So, does switching the theme work on a fresh user account?
Removing ~/.config/plasmarc should “fix” the problem I think, and even switch to breeze (as that’s the default). You should not even lose anything, as this file basically just contains the theme settings.
You could also post the file, maybe I can spot an error.
I tried with a fresh new user, the behaviour is the same:
if I have [systemsettings (Version 5.6.2) >worspace theme > look and feel]=breeze then [systemsettings (Version 5.6.2) >worspace theme > desktop theme] is breeze by default and cannot be changed permanently, it works only for the active session
if I have [systemsettings (Version 5.6.2) >worspace theme > look and feel]=oxygen then [systemsettings (Version 5.6.2) >worspace theme > desktop theme] is air by default and cannot be changed permanently, it works only for the active session
I removed ~/.config/plasmarc but the behaviour doesn’t change.
the file contains this:
[Theme]
name=air
if I change the file in this way:
[Theme]
name=breeze
or Breeze
it seems to works, the breeze theme seems to works and it is permanent, (I say that breeze theme seems to works, becouse I want breeze theme becouse the selection in the kickoff is more visible than in air theme, and it result like the breeze theme)
but no theme, neither breeze, result selected in [systemsettings (Version 5.6.2) >worspace theme > desktop theme]
and if I select a theme the previous behaviour reappear, after login air theme result active by default.

Ok, if you change the “Look & Feel” it is supposed to change the desktop theme as well, that’s normal.
But still you should be able to choose any other theme in “Desktop Theme” afterwards.
It worked when I last tried, but that’s a while ago.
Have to retry with the latest version, maybe a bug got introduced in the desktop theme settings module.
Manually editing plasmarc should be a feasible workaround for now though.
