Description postix 2022-09-14 11:56:34 UTC

Since the MR [1] to add a third theme to the Quick settings, has been declined so far, another possible approach which comes to my mind is to let _two_ global themes to be declared as `default` for `dark` respectively `bright` in the Global Appearance kcm.

These two `default dark` and `default bright` themes would then be offered in the e.g. Quick Settings. 
By default these were `Breeze` and `Breeze Dark`.

This way the Quick Settings page could still be left un-configurable per se.

Hmm, not sure this would work. It would break a lot of fundamental assumptions about how Global Themes work.

The bug report requesting Breeze Twilight on the Quick Settings page (Bug 448852) is still open, so there's hope. :)

Let's see if I can encourage some movement on https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/664.

Out curiosity, could you please elaborate a little bit on that, to better understand the argument? Thanks! :)
