Description wodenhof 2016-01-10 16:41:25 UTC
I clicked "fetch new design" got a new window, choose "Breeze Design" -> Install and get a list of color choices, which are all checked. Nothing gets installed. I then clicked in the list trying to de-select a color whereupon the list vanished an the button read something like "installing theme" or so. The color I tried to de-select gets installed.

I also tried it via download as .tgz. The detour to a cloud account is unexpected and not documented or previously announced in any way - thus no nice surprise. The .tgz got stored alright on my disk and I unzipped it. Installing from file doesn't work. Neither "index.theme" nor "cursor. theme" is accepted. How anyone should know what to chose is unclear (why a choice at all, it was just one theme...).

Please try to implement this for people who have never done it before. It is most certainly not self-explaining now and has several inconsistencies in the sequence / logic of the procedure .

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Easily understandable and easy to handle sequence of choices and events.

This KCM has been effectively replaced with plasmathemeexplorer in plasma-sdk.

If your bug still remains please roepen it there.
