Description Janek 2020-05-14 17:48:36 UTC 
Currently I am now aware of any way to change the Global Theme from the CLI - either one would need to manually call kreadconfig5 and kwriteconfig5 to replicate what kcm_lookandfeel is doing, or use the GUI. 

It would be great if this module could support args, so that I could for example call

    kcmshell5 kcm_lookandfeel --args "Theme=Breeze"

to change my Theme to "Breeze", without needing any human interaction.

Something like this has been requested across multiple places, e.g.:
