Description The Feren OS Dev 2019-06-21 22:24:28 UTC 
SUMMARY
So, basically with a Look & Feel that has the following under its 'defaults' file, I've noticed odd behaviour with the changing of Splash Screens during this process. Mainly that the Look & Feel switcher seems to ignore the fact that the 'defaults' file has asked that a certain splash screen be set and instead sets the splash screen to be the name of the Look & Feel applied.
e.g.: Got a theme named 'org.feren.dark', with the below contents in its 'details' file? It sets the splash screen to 'org.feren.dark' instead of 'org.feren.default':
Setting in 'details' file:
[ksplashrc][KSplash]
Theme=org.feren.default

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make a Look & Feel that should in theory set the Splash Screen to a splash screen that is part of another Look & Feel instead of itself
2. Apply the Look & Feel

OBSERVED RESULT
In ksplashrc, the setting can be observed to have changed to what the Look & Feel's folder name is, rather than the requested Splash Screen theme name

EXPECTED RESULT
The requested Splash Screen theme would be set during Look & Feel application

*So, basically with the application of a Look & Feel that has the something along the lines of what is shown below inside of its 'defaults' file, I've noticed odd behaviour with the changing of the current Splash Screen in use during the Look & Feel application process.

kcms/lookandfeel: allow users to choose what part of a Global Theme to apply

Now when you click on a Global Theme, it will display a Kirigami sheet for
choosing what is applied. The user can choose individual appearance elements,
and apply the theme's desktop layout, or not.
