Bug 202591

Version:           unknown (using 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.28

i am talking about system settings -> advanced -> desktop theme details
- no preview for the changed setting. i changed panel background but it is impossible toe know, what the panel will look like (turns out, it wont change, whatever i use)

- after "apply" a dialog appears with a rather confusing message (which can't be c&p'd, god knows why): "To change your theme to "(Customized)", open the desktop Appearance Settings and select "(Customized)" from the droplist."
firstly: what is "the desktop Appearance Settings"? since i am in _system_ settings, i'd expect everything to be configured there -- after a long and exhaustive search it turns out, the desktop isn't configured here -- apparently not a part of the "system". what that dialog tries to say is: right click your desktop, from the context menu choose "Desktop Settings ..." and there a five (5) droplist, one of them will probably have the entry ...
secondly: why those additional steps? why can't the theme be updated/changed at once?

- changing the panel background has no effect, regardless of the selection in "the desktop Appearance Settings" or system settings. due to the issues described above i am not sure, if this a bug as such or only caused by the confusing workflow one has to learn to actually make changes to the theme take effect.
