Since it seems to me we are aligned towards making it work, I've polished a bit the MRs to that end. I think it would make sense to just pick all the defaults rather than cherry-picking through them, this is something we can do for the next release though. I'd appreciate any help towards moving what's in https://invent.kde.org/plasma-mobile/plasma-phone-settings/-/tree/master/etc/xdg to the Look and Feel package. I imagine something similar will be needed for Big Screen, maybe someone could take a look as well. Is there a plasma-phone-settings counterpart? Aleix
