    added a custom look and feel now im screwed

    Hi,

    In a thread here a user explained how to customize the login and splash screens. Login worked fine but i might have made a mistake following his instructions to change the splash. Because now when i login i get a black screen responding to almost nothing.

    No widgets no kde menu. I can acces a terminal because of yakuake. When i execute systemsettings i get an error: system settings was unable to find any views. And displays nothing.

    I think i accidently changed the lookandfeel for the entire de. Is there a way to change it back to breeze using only a terminal?

    Thanks!

    Edit: this was the link:https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...kground-images

    I think i know how i messed up. I followed instructions but i didnt like the results so i removed the draft lookandfeel using the same command but with the -r option. But i forgot to select the breeze look and feel in system settings again.

    It would be good to include a link to the post with the instructions that you followed.
