--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
David is correct that the Global Theme only changes the visual representation
of the switcher, not any of the behavioral settings in that KCM. However Medin
is right that from a user perspective, changing the visualization effectively
does change the behavior due to the different characteristics of the switchers.
This is particularly true if you were using the Small Icons or Large Icons task
switchers, which display icons rather than thumbnails. The interaction feels
different.
FWIW this periodically annoys me too. I like the Large Icons task switcher, and
every time I switch global themes to test something, I have to reset it back to
what I want.
It's an easy fix: all we have to do is remove one item from the global theme
definitions for Breeze, Breeze Dark, and Breeze Twilight. It remains to be seen
whether this is the right solution though. Personally I think the best thing
would be if the user gets shown what will happen when they apply a global
theme, with the option to avoid applying any of the changes.
