  Yay!

It is built on top of plasma LnF engine with a custom QML. The problem with default Plasma look and feel kcm is that it presents all installed themes (we just want to offer LliureX presets) and the "use desktop layout from theme" checkbox which is default unchecked and everyone forgets to check before apply. We decided to use a hand made simple preview instead of a real screen capture, it works better, imho.
  
  I agree that this off-by-default checkbox is not ideal. We're discussing how to fix that in T11746 <https://phabricator.kde.org/T11746>.

  Yeah that's what these layouts I'm proposing do. I like your use of symbolic preview images. I should do that here too.
