For eg. I installed Blur-glassy theme today to check with all options selected in my Fedora 40 installation. Still I needed to install the blur option separately and colors too. After everything still Dolphin and Discover do not look anything like the picture shown.

I have seen this while trying out many themes. They either partially deploy or sometimes not.

Is it because they were built for KDE 5 and this is 6 or something?

    I got it installed, not sure if it was nature of theme or if I did it correctly. It felt really off to me, luckily it was on a test user which I deleted now. Installing and configuring Kvantum felt like blindly groping in the bathroom with soap all over face.

    I won’t be experimenting with it anytime in near future.

      Sad to hear you had that experience. Someone posted some blog posts about complete KDE themes here a while back. I had very good results following the instructions in those blog posts. Each one had icons, window, plasma, gtk, wallpaper, and whatever else was needed. I stuck with “shades of purple” for ages, which would normally not be my first choice of theme.
