Bug ID: 444955
Summary: Allow Global Themes and Plasma Styles to bundle
"flavors", like Light and Dark, into one, and let the
user select between them.
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.23.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: ws....@outlook.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
There's an overabundance of repeated themes and styles, where the only
difference between them is just a colors file, or a couple of .svgz files at
most. This makes it difficult for the user to even know a theme have a
different flavor, AND the theme dev has to make multiples themes, even if those
flavors share 90% of files between them.
Breeze is an example of this: both Global Theme and Plasma Style have 3
variations each: a Light and Dark variation, as well as
Twilight(Global)/Default(Plasma Style).
Breeze-Dark and Breeze-Like(Plasma Styles) only have a single .svgz file and a
colors file, everything else falls back to Breeze(default).
It would be far more efficient to bundle everything into one theme, and let the
user select which flavor they'd like to use. It would help discoverability, as
multiple variations of the same theme wouldn't clog KDE Store, and would make
it easier for devs to make different flavors without having to bundle the same
files to different themes.
EXPECTED RESULT
Select Breeze, a pop-up appears that let the user select if they want the
default, the light variation or the dark variation.
