Mon Aug 08, 2016 9:26 pm I found this thread about saving theme settins but the explanation no longer holds true for Plasma 5,7. How can I save all my theme related setting in Plasma 5.7 (window decorations, desktop effects, desktop theme, window color theme, etc. (if I forgot any)) to quickly switch between such "theme profiles"?

From the Plasma 5.1 onwards the plasma has supported the 'Look and Feel': http://notmart.org/blog/2014/08/choose- ... xperience/ Plasma 5.1 will make way easier to fine-tune their workspace to their needs.While already very powerful, it was not always trivial, so now on one hand it will be possible choose between plasmoids that offer the same feature with a very simple UI. On the other hand, ever wanted to set themes, look and feel of your desktop, but was discouraged by how many places you had to change themes to make the experience as you wanted? being icon theme, widget style, plasma theme, cursors etc… Plasma 5.1 will support the concept of Look and Feel packages (or “mega themes” if you like) Basically an one stop place to set the look and feel of the whole desktop... With the Plasma 5.7 you could copy the available look&feel (Breeze) from the /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/ to the ~/.local/share/plasma/look-and-feel/ and use it as a template...

So I copied the Breeze theme to the folder you specified (which I had to create first) and it looks like this: Code: Select all lo-pilno@k-plas:~/.local/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.blyat.desktop/contents$ tree . . ├── components │ ├── artwork │ │ ├── background.png │ │ ├── logout_primary.svgz │ │ ├── restart_primary.svgz │ │ └── shutdown_primary.svgz │ ├── BreezeBlock.qml │ ├── BreezeHeading.qml │ ├── BreezeLabel.qml │ ├── InfoPane.qml │ ├── KeyboardLayoutButton.qml │ ├── LogoutOptions.qml │ ├── LogoutScreen.qml │ ├── UserDelegate.qml │ ├── UserList.qml │ └── UserSelect.qml ├── defaults ├── desktopswitcher │ └── DesktopSwitcher.qml ├── lockscreen │ ├── ChangeSession.qml │ ├── LockOsd.qml │ ├── LockScreen.qml │ └── MainBlock.qml ├── loginmanager │ ├── breeze.jpg │ ├── Main.qml │ ├── metadata.desktop │ └── theme.conf ├── logout │ └── Logout.qml ├── osd │ ├── OsdItem.qml │ └── Osd.qml ├── previews │ ├── desktopswitcher.png │ ├── lockscreen.png │ ├── loginmanager.png │ ├── preview.png │ ├── runcommand.png │ ├── splash.png │ ├── userswitcher.png │ ├── windowdecoration.png │ └── windowswitcher.png ├── runcommand │ └── RunCommand.qml ├── splash │ ├── images │ │ └── kde.svgz │ └── Splash.qml ├── userswitcher │ └── UserSwitcher.qml ├── windowdecoration │ └── WindowDecoration.qml └── windowswitcher └── WindowSwitcher.qml In all of those qml files there is code, nowhere I can see a config file where I just can plop in the name of the color scheme or the window decorations skin.
