--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
It's a valid observation, and this is somewhat messy at the moment.

I could see us changing the name "Breeze" to "Breeze Light" for the global
theme and the icon theme. However there's a challenge of what to do with the
large number of Breeze themes that follow the color scheme. There's the
Application Style, Window Decoration, Plasma style, Splash Screen, SDDM Theme,
and Plymouth theme. All are color-scheme-following.

And for the cursor theme, it would feel quite silly to make  "Breeze Light"
have a dark cursor and "Breeze Dark" to have a light cursor. But if we did it
the other way around, then to have a standard dark cursor you'd need to use
Breeze Dark, but all your other Breeze theming would be using Breeze Light!
Neither seems ideal.

Not sure how to proceed in light of this. Any further ideas?
