The Arch Wiki says you should install it via the
plasma-meta
package for a full-fledged installation, and just theplasma-desktop
package, if you want a minimal install. Is that maybe where you chose the wrong one?I used the plasma-meta package and to be sure I just now used arch-chroot on a flashdrive and removed plasma entirely. Cleared pacman with -Scc and then reinstalled plasma-meta and all its dependencies.
Also breeze-gtk and oxygen-gtk were the only themes in the long list of dependencies. Maybe they removed them to shorten install times and shrink the size of the DE install?
Youre comment is greatly appreciated. it also gave me an idea. Im next going to install downgrade and check if the dependencies change to add more themes in a previous version.
I could also be crazy and manually installed a bunch of themes one night. but i barely put any work into the look and feel of the DE so im almost 99% sure this is not the case
Update this did not work downgrading breaks dependencies and will not let me since force was depreciated...
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:
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.
