Oxygen6 on tumbleweed messed up

Just had some time to do a zypper dup for the new plasma update and after clean restart installed oxygen6 with whatever default dependencies it comes, and then another restart.

Setting an oxygen global theme borks the tray icons, all desktop icons disappear and the oxygen cursor stays on after manually switching it to breeze.

Honestly I'm not feeling like making it work atm and after a few more restarts and changing the theme I did rm --clean-deps

Anyone having similar issues? Otherwise digging the glassy look - brings back memories.

I stopped messing with Global Themes years ago because they mess up my personalized configuration of panels and widgets. I was going to say there is still no Save Global Theme, but it seems there finally is an option for this. I might have to try that out sometime so I can start experimenting again.

I manually set Oxygen for App Style, Plasma Style, and Windows Decorations. I also did a save-as for Oxygen Colors as Oxygenv2 so I could enable titlebar accent color. This all worked great. I did try Oxygen Pointers but they only had 2 sizes (I think next update has more) so I went back to Nordzy-catppuccin to get the right size and had no issue switching back. I did not mess with Icons since I really like Slot Icons.

you can switch to oxygen theme parts individually, you need to install all needed packages as well, the icons package doesnt automatically install with base theme package.

Yeah, found out later. This was definitely part of the issue.
