Description Florian Röhrer 2016-03-19 16:46:09 UTC

Since the last update, the possibility to customize plasma themes is missing. For example i can not chose a theme and modify it to use the taskbar background from another theme. You can see which settings i mean in the following screenshot:

Those settings are no longer present.

Reproducible: Always

See this review request:
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126953/

Which contains the following quote from "Marco Martin"
"I always wanted to kill that thing!
I was a bit scared of the potential reaction.."

I was also somewhat disappointed at it's demise... :(

Is there any possibility to get this functionality back. I really love this feature because most of the available themes are not really nice at all. In every theme i want to change something and i dont want to edit each theme manually. I am really sad to say that i have to think about a desktop change if this feature does not come back because i want a beautiful and customizable desktop. That is what i always loved about KDE.... :(
Also i do not see any reason to remove this feature. People who do not want to use it don't have to.
