Description Arniiiii 2024-09-05 08:29:25 UTC
I don't know if it should be in the bugzilla, but I just don't know where exactly I should go.

After another stable update, I got plasma 6.

Then I figured out my global theme is broken.

I came to settings -> Colours & Themes to see that my global beloved theme Sweet is not there, but some parts of it left.

So, I got to "Get New" button to find out all Themes from Plasma 5 are erased. I felt sad.

Found Sweet LAF Plasma 6. Found that it from the previous author "eliverlara". Good.

Clicked install.

It failed. Something like "couldn't install ... /tmp/dasdasd-Sweet....tar.xz

OK, maybe a standard kde theme like dark breeze looks ok?

No, not good enough.

OK, Let's check other popular themes in the kde theme store.

I've 5 different themes.
3 of them are looks like they are from MacOS. When I saw them I really wanted to... vomit at my screen... I just don't like the aesthetics.
in 4 of them there's no assets for Alt+Tab.
One of them looks ok on screenshots, but in reality it's another broken theme.

OK, maybe it's possible to install the Sweet theme.

Maybe the problem is that I should uninstall all related to all Plasma 5 themes.

Ok, `rg -l "Sweet" /` . A lot of folders. Remove  ~/.local/share/plasma/* and /usr/share/sddm/themes/* .

Ok now it seems to be that it can't install sddm-something, since the error looks like this:
```
Installation of /tmp/SttqMt-Sweet.tar-20240829220235.xz failed: Could not install dependency: 'kns://sddmtheme.knsrc/api.kde-look.org/2153297'
```

I just don't know why.

Ok, Maybe at github.com there's something.

From the KDE's themes store: https://github.com/EliverLara/Sweet/tree/nova

It turns out, KDE sweet themes for plasma 6 are from not main branche. Ok.
Then there's issue: https://github.com/EliverLara/Sweet/issues/259  . It's Open and about porting the theme to Plasma 6.  Nothing useful there.

So, I have an error and I don't know how to debug it. If somebody know how, please, explain or share a link with explanation. I would really appreciate that.

Ok, I forgot to `emerge -avt --depclean`.

Now it asks root password to install sddm. Good.

So now another error appeared:
```
Installation of /tmp/CbpQXK-Sweet.tar-20240829220235.xz failed: Could not install dependency: 'kns://plasmoids.knsrc/api.kde-look.org/2144212'
```

Finally. I needed to delete previously installed AndromedaLauncher ( a plasmoid ) from /home/paxu/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/ .

I could use finally my favourite theme.

I don't know should it be solved or not and if then how?

This is really out of scope here.

Themes need to be fixed by their respective upstreams.
