Not an arch specific question but I recently had to reinstall archlinux and there are many default themes (mouse themes, icon themes, and sddm themes) that I dont remember the names of that are missing. Did I do something incorrect in the installation or did KDE remove these themes from the default?

For example breeze is the only icon theme i have available. There were definitely more options before.

I could obviously use the get themes feature but I shouldnt have to if they exist somewhere on the system or if i can just use an older version of plasma

    Hmm, thinking about it now, I actually don’t have much beyond the Breeze (Light/Dark) themes preinstalled either. I have the openSUSE themes, because I am on openSUSE.
    Aside from that:

    • In Window Decorations, there’s the Plastik theme.
    • In Application Style, there’s “Fusion” and “MS Windows 9x”.
    • In System Sounds, I’ve got “Ocean” and “FreeDesktop”.
    • And in “Login Screen (SDDM)”, I have “Elarun” and “Maldives”.

    I believe, the Oxygen themes got removed from the default themes, possibly with Plasma 6.
    But yeah, maybe you also just had additional theme packages installed. The Arch Wiki lists some of those, too.
