            Bug ID: 439653
           Summary: Global theme splash screen not restored after
                    reverting to Breeze Dark/Twilight from a custom Global
                    Theme
           Product: plasmashell

          Platform: Ubuntu Packages

SUMMARY
When reverting to Breeze Dark or Breeze Twilight global themes after having
applied a custom theme providing a custom splash screen (such as, for example
Ant-Dark KDE: https://www.pling.com/p/1464332), the splash screen is not
reverted.
I suspect that this is because:
/usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/
is the only default theme that provides a "splash" subfolder, hence only by
applying this one, the user can go back to seeing the default KDE splash
screen.

And then any Breeze variant, like Dark or Twilight, can be applied, since now
the default splash screen has been restored already.

While the workaround is not hard and the issue itself is not severe, it might
be intimidating for first-time users/customizers to see that KDE is not able to
FULLY revert the changes they might have done just to experiment for a short
period.



STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Apply a custom global theme providing a custom splash screen, like
https://www.pling.com/p/1464332
2. Revert to Breeze Dark or Breeze Twilight global themes

OBSERVED RESULT
Splash screen stays the one of the previously applied custom Global Theme

EXPECTED RESULT
Splash screen should have been reverted to the Breeze default, for consistency
and to reassure the user that the previous configuration is fully reverted.

I noticed this other bug 414417 as RESOLVED FIXED on 5.21.3, but it's evidently
not the case, at least not on my Kubuntu 21.04.
