The behavior is correct and intentional, as the default theme for Plasma is (currently) oxygen. That is the theme the system will use when the user has not made a selection. The theme named "Default" is the "freedesktop" theme, which acts as the spec fallback. It is equivalent to "hicolor" for icon themes. And it doesn't provide many sounds that we want to use. For instance, applications that install their own custom sounds will do so into that theme. The name and description (none in this case) is provided by the theme itself, which we don't provide. However, the report is legit, since this distinction is confusing and shouldn't be. We should probably to modify the name and description for the "freedesktop" theme so we avoid the confusion. This has the added benefit that we'll gain translations from our infrastructure which the current theme don't provide. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/3154 Git commit 8f094602277b1534e18c1cfd7b1b63e0bdec29d4 by Ismael Asensio. Committed on 04/08/2023 at 00:04. Pushed by iasensio into branch 'master'. kcms/soundtheme: Provide better info for the "freedesktop" theme The "freedesktop" theme is the fallback sound theme according to the specification. It is equivalent to "hicolor" for icon themes. However, it declares itself just as "Default", with no description. Users can find this name confusing, and mistake it with the system's default theme, so let's give it a better Name and Comment in our UI. As a bonus we'll gain translations from our infrastructure which the current theme doesn't provide.
