A demonstration of the issue

SUMMARY
If you navigate to Global Theme from the buttons within Quick Settings, the main body of the window shows the Global Theme settings, but doesn't show the Colors & Themes sub-menu. This is unlike other sections reachable from buttons within Quick Settings and reduces discoverability of additional settings.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run System Settings
2. Maximise the window (maybe not necessary)
3. Click on Global Theme, either from "More appearance settings" or "Most used pages" if it appears there

OBSERVED RESULT
The left-hand column shows Colors & Themes selected. There is no middle column. The main area shows the Global Theme settings.

EXPECTED RESULT
The left-hand column shows Colors & Themes selected. A middle column shows the Colors & Themes submenu, such as Global Theme, Colors, Night Light and so on. The main area shows the Global Theme settings.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250403
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
Kernel Version: 6.14.0-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This isn't the case with other settings that you can get to from buttons within Quick Settings that have submenus, such as Mouse, Keyboard (if they appear in "Most used pages"). Not showing the Colors & Themes sub menu when directly accessing Global Themes means that the extra settings are less discoverable.
