Has already been reverted for the time being I think?

I can see that, as seems the standards to be set are a constant lowering of the
bar.

Never had the slightest problem, as seems perfectly intuitive here. you just
select something other than the customised theme.

Similar here. There is no alternative on KDE-look that does the job for me, but
I can achieve it very simply with this feature

For example what I am using at the moment is mostly Breeze, but as some element
are a bit ugly or lack transparency they are swapped out for something else.

- Panel Background - swapped for a more purely transparent version from another
theme
- Task items - similarly swapped for more transparent ones with not as
prominent borders.
- Systray icons - swapped to a more pre-Breeze style, as the Breeze ones are
not as intuitive as previous ones.

That is quite minimal compared to what I may have done in the past, but I have
experimented with changing more, and have certainly not managed to 'break the
desktop' as Kai Uwe Broulik implies is going to be the case.

In that case, you just leave that at the default or other working choice. 

You can pick and choose what looks/works best for you, which is the point of
this feature.

My experience with Plasma 5.5.5

Panel Background - works fine 
Kickoff - works fine  
Task items - works fine (some themes incompatible with some panel backgrounds ,
but that is the price of choice, and this has always bee the way)
Widget background - works fine 
Translucent background - works fine last time I used one that did
Dialog background - works fine 
Analog clock - never use
Sticky notes - fine
Tooltips - works fine 
Pager - works fine  
Run command - works fine 
Logout dialog - works fine (some theme incompatible, but that is the price of
choice, and this has always bee the way)
Icons - works fine, an allows you to get rid of most of the awful Breeze ones

Has always been the way that if you are going to mix and match some theme
element, they will not always play nicely with each other. That has has been
the case for the entire of plasma 4-5, and as said it's a price that has always
been the case with this feature. It is not something new or startling.

I never and still don't ever ended up with a COMPLETELY broken desktop.

All work/worked here on multiple machines. Occasionally  there are some
instances of changes failing to apply or show the updated choice, but try again
and it invariably works.

@Florian Röhrer Yes, KDE/plasma is fast losing the good features and those that
one made it stand out.

@Kai Uwe Broulik The feature was NOT broken, as I used and use it often in <=
plasma 5.5. Maybe a bit buggy, but that is something to fix perhaps, an no
excuse for it's extermination.

[plasmashell] [Bug 359127] New: Desktop theme KCM 'details' and editing tab no longer present/functional

[FBrown via KDE Bugzilla]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359127

Bug ID: 359127
   Summary: Desktop theme KCM 'details' and editing tab no longer
present/functional
   Product: plasmashell
   Version: master
  Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: major
  Priority: NOR
 Component: general
  Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
  Reporter: francisbr...@gmail.com
CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org

In systemsettings > Desktop Theme KCM it is longer possible to view or use the
details tab, and as such no longer possible to customise/edit/save/backup
desktop themes.

This is an important feature, as default theme elements may not suit the use
requirements everyone, so the ability to mix and match with a customised theme
via a user friendly interface is important. For example here it's found that
the default breeze systray icons are not very representative of their function
and are visually unpleasant, so it is useful to be able to switch them for the
default oxygen ones without having to apply the whole of that theme. Likewise
can choose a truly transparent panel background from a downloaded theme, again
without switching the whole theme.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open KCM Desktop Theme module
2. 
3.

Actual Results:  
Details tab is missing

Expected Results:  
Should be a details tab allowing customisation

That would be great, but I still want to be able to mix/match theme element to
get something that works better for me.

Otherwise I'm going to have to hack together the svg elements from several
different themes manually, rather than the simple process of just selecting
different ones via KCM.

If I wanted my desktop to constantly remove useful features and make my life
difficult, I would use Gnome. :P

The feature to apply a customised theme with elements chosen from several
different ones works, is not obsolete and is certainly not superfluous.

e.g. example here where the default Breeze dark elements for icons, panel
background, task items etc have been switched for more visually useful ones
which work better in my user case.

The ability to customise things such as this and get your desktop working for
you is one of KDE/plasma's biggest + points and is a major reason why I use use
it. Unnecessarily removing useful customisation features is a very backward
step.
