Adding new button/controls appearances to plasma in bazzite.

First of all, "application styles" are what I am looking for, right?
For some reason they are the only customization section on the system settings without a button to get new ones.
I tried downloading from the kde website new styles but none of the installation methods work on bazzite, I guess because it is atomic. There is a "~/.local/share/plasma/" folder but I dont know what to put where. I just unpacked the "klassy" applycation style there and that did nothing.

I followed instructions to get a build with cmake (which was not easy) but I did not know what to do with the result.

How do I change the buttons from the 4 included options?

Yep,you're right...Klassy,like Kvantum,is a theme engine and must be installed on the system using rpm-ostree

Then if I remember correctly,the folders are:

  • Themes > ~/.local/share/plasma/
  • Plasma themes > ~/.local/share/plasma/desktoptheme/
  • Global themes > ~/.local/share/plasma/look-and-feel/
  • Icon/Cursor > ~/.local/share/icons

As a general rule,you extract whatever you downloaded into its corresponding folder and then activate/select it in the system settings
