Actually, we haven’t noticed any problems. We’ve updated your account information again for the login. It might work now. Please just try again. If it still doesn’t work, then we’ll have to look into it further.

I tried Vivaldi, Falkon and Firefox to login but get the same message each time: “Access denied for your LDAP account.” For now, I’ve started using Codeberg.

Thanks for the feedback. It’s very annoying that the error is still occurring. We’ll definitely look into it again.

Okay, I found the error. Can you please check again to see if it works for you now?

Some further problems unfortunately. I stumbled upon an open Issue on my Products page but didn’t receive an email to notify me. Also, the Issue doesn’t record the user name so I can’t contact them for further information. Lastly, my wallpaper Steam City [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://www.opendesktop.org/p/2137692/) doesn’t load via System Settings (Get New…) yet the product page loads OK.

Hi,

Here is what we found.

**The wallpaper is not a download problem.** We verified that all five dependencies declared in your `X-KPackage-Dependencies` resolve, download and install correctly from our server, and that the extracted package names match what `contents/defaults` references, including the plugin IDs (`SteamCity`, `psion-round`).

What actually happens is a Plasma behaviour that surprises a lot of theme authors. When a Global Theme ships a layout (yours does, via `contents/layouts/org.kde.plasma.desktop-layout.js`), the install dialog shows two options: _Appearance settings_ and _Desktop and window layout_. Only the first one is ticked by default.

The wallpaper does not live in `kdeglobals` — it lives in the desktop containment. The only code path that rebuilds it is `loadLookAndFeelDefaultLayout`, and in `klookandfeelmanager.cpp` that call is gated on the `DesktopLayout` flag, i.e. on the _Desktop and window layout_ checkbox. There is no `itemsToApply.testFlag(Wallpaper)` anywhere in the apply path; the `Wallpaper` flag is only used to show what the theme contains and to clean up on uninstall.

So with only _Appearance settings_ ticked, `[Wallpaper] Image=SteamCity` is simply never applied — even though the wallpaper package is installed correctly. Users can confirm this with:

```auto
plasma-apply-wallpaperimage ~/.local/share/wallpapers/SteamCity

```

That sets the wallpaper immediately, without the destructive layout reset.

**The window decoration works.** `WindowDecoration` is part of `AppearanceSettings`, so it is applied with the default selection. On our test machine (with manjaro-kde-26.1.0-260812-linux71) `kwinrc` correctly ended up with `org.kde.kwin.aurorae` / ` __aurorae__ svg__psion-round`, and the decoration was visibly active.

**What you might want to do:** since the checkbox is off by default and applying the layout wipes the user’s panels and widgets, it is worth adding a line to your product description — something like _“to get the wallpaper as intended, tick ‘Desktop and window layout’ when applying, or run `plasma-apply-wallpaperimage` afterwards”_. That would save a fair number of support questions.

One more thing worth knowing: if a user has installed a dependency before and later removed the files by hand, the entry stays in `~/.local/share/knewstuff3/<knsrc>.knsregistry`. The handler then reports “already installed” and skips the download without restoring anything. Removing the matching `<stuff>` entry and reapplying the theme fixes that.

Hope this helps — and thanks for the theme.

I’ve moved your wallpaper to a different category. It belongs in “Wallpapers KDE Plasma,” not “Wallpapers Other.” It won’t show up on the Plasma desktop there.

Hi again,

Thanks for your detailed reply. But just to quickly stand up for myself, I’ve been doing this since the early days of Plasma 5 (on an old now deleted account) and have worked through the many packaging config changes. I’m starting to get good at it now. 😀

Your reply did, however, remind me about state files from the SystemSettings installer. On my system, these were wrongly written and caused many problems including actually crashing plasmashell a number of times.

After clearing these files, everything works properly again. Both window decoration and wallpaper were installed and applied when selecting the Global Theme. These files are located in ~/.local/share/knewstuff3 .

Now, the question is, how do I respond to the open Issue? I don’t know who raised it so I can’t reply with a fix. If I just close it, the user will be rightly annoyed.

Mark

Yes, I’d like to apologize for that—I reread my post with some distance, and it seems I may have gotten a little “carried away.”  
But it’s good that you picked out the information that was interesting to you.

Just a quick note on the issues:  
We wanted to channel the “frustration” of frustrated users and try to keep it out of the comments. If a project has a public repository, we also point out to users that it might be better to file a report there rather than with us.  
The issues are purely “informative” for the creator. We don’t evaluate them or display them on the website. Therefore, I’d like to suggest that you take the information that’s relevant to you and your project and, if necessary, mark the report as “solved”—even if that might be unsatisfying to you.  
And users can also submit a report anonymously, which is what’s causing the problem you’re facing now. We could add an option to the form that allows users to provide an email address for follow-up questions. Maybe some people will do that.

Yes please. I like to follow things through.
