Switching Plasma theme from the command line

  • 772

I would like to switch between dark and light themes easily (Default Breeze and dark Breeze themes) without having to navigate to System Settings > Global themes > Click on theme > click Apply.

So I was wondering if there existed a way to quickly switch between already installed themes without using the mouse, maybe running a previously made Bash script?

If such a way were feasible then I would be able to fire those scripts with this On/Off plasmoid. So, is there a way to change Global Plasma Theme from the command line?

kde command-line themes kubuntu plasma-5

    This can be done with lookandfeeltool that shall come preinstalled on any recent version of Plasma 5. To use it, type on a terminal window:

    1. lookandfeeltool --list to get a list of all available themes on your system.
    2. lookandfeeltool -a CopyPastaFromTheOutputAbove to change to your desired theme.
