SUMMARY
So basically about almost every Global Theme I install either is not loading/applying certainfeatures/options. Not always the same things are missing but 84.7% of the time it will be the wallpaper, login screen and as well the splash screen. Also the percentile ratio I quoted... yeah well that's out of ALL of the themes that are provided by community/KDE. Yes I have went through installed and applied every given theme just to see if there was a pattern. I can't find a pattern of a specific style/options/version/ect. I am installing the themes from the provided section in my system settings of my distro. (CachyOS *some inbreed version of Arch*)  I hope that this isn't too over detailed for a "summary" lol. I am hoping someone actually reads these reports and that they are not falling upon deaf ears or would it be blind eyes, since you are reading this? Anyway I want to end this by saying that the KDE environment desktop based Linux distros, have been by far my favorite distros when using a distro that offfers KDE. I have sampled/experimented with LOTS of Linux distros in the last 6 months since switching to only using Linux as my main and only operating system    I will ever use. Down with WiNdOwS....UP WITH LINUX!!!!!!!! Linux is like Red Hot's hot sauce...I put that sh*t on EVERYTHING!!! Keep up the GREAT work and Happy Holidays!!! You filthy animals..

Yes, we read bug reports. :) However they generally have to be written in a way that makes it clear what exactly the problem is so we can investigate. Reading through https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting may be helpful for the future.

So you're saying that most 3rd-party global themes aren't loading the wallpaper, login screen, and/or splash screen as intended? Are you remembering to check the "Desktop and window layout" checkbox in the confirmation dialog that appears when you click on an installed Global Theme?
