Neofetch Cannot Determine Correct Theme - Affects Multiple Distros & PCs

[ViejoRS]

Description

Manjaro with KDE Plasma. Proprietary Intel gpu drivers.

When running neofetch, the "Theme" seems to be stuck on Breath2 2021 Light [Plasma] no matter what I actually change the theme to. I've gone through all my personalization settings and cannot find anywhere it is pulling the Breath2 information from - the theme is currently Layan..

• [ ] Does this issue still occur in the master branch? (Required if issue) Yes

Neofetch version

7.1.0

Verbose log

1. Run neofetch -vv 2> neofetchlog

2. Upload the contents of neofetchlog to pastebin, gist or equivalent. Looks like there's an issue with Neofetch retrieving the theme information:

Edit: Deleting my config file and reinstalling Neofetch with the default .config/neofetch/config.conf file did not have an impact on this. Seems like Neofetch is unable to query the theme info from KDE for some reason.

Update: I have now confirmed that this affects multiple Arch-based distros on Plasma (not sure if it's limited to Plasma only) as well as multiple PC's. I've had this same issue both on Manjaro and Endeavour, with a fresh vanilla install. Same behavior both on my laptop and my desktop HTPC.

I created a topic on the Endeavour forums and it seems some other people are starting to report the same issue.

I also have this bug. It either displays the Plasma theme incorrectly or not at all. Materia Dark theme and Papirus icon pack installed.

Same here

Issue still active, present on Arch/Manjaro/Endeavour, presumably anything Arch based using Plasma desktop. Currently: Plasma 5.24.3 Frameworks 5.92 QT 5.15.3 Affects both X11 and Wayland

Dylan pls ;_;

I had the same problem on Arch with Plasma 5.25.5. I found a workaround by adding these lines to ~/.config/kdeglobals:

[neofetch]
Name=whatever Theme=whatever

This seems to manually set what gets printed in the "Plasma" subsection of the "Theme" and "Icons" sections of neofetch

I was just looking at this. On my version of Plasma (5.26.5) the theme name is located at .config/plasmarc. The file is pretty barebones only containing 2 lines:

[Theme]
name=Arc-Color

Maybe at some point the KDE team changed where this variable was stored.

The fix should be pointing to .config/plasmarc if grep '^Name' $HOME/.config/kdeglobals comes out empty.

I'm also experiencing this on Plasma 5.27.7. I also found the theme name in ~/.config/plasmarc
