I’m not sure what to do - after changing some things around, for some reason the settings are messed up - I wanted to switch from Breeze to Lightly but I can’t select the Application Style tab now.

zsh: IOT instruction (core dumped) systemsettings5 kcm_style
There are a fair few warnings just launching settings - so I’ll include them (as some aren’t so critical, I didn’t check before this issue - some might be quite normal).

QQmlEngine::setContextForObject(): Object already has a QQmlContext
The difference doesn’t give me much of an idea… I previously assumed removing some .local or .config might help - but test user has the same issue, so something needs refreshing/reinstalling maybe.

The issue persists after creating a new user - so I’m wondering if there’s any better solution than starting fresh with a new installation, which would be rather a lot of work.
The outputs from the terminal suggests coding which references a deprecated library and by first impression also bad coding - the binding loops.
This suggest the theme you played with has errors.
What if you try removing the kirigami* packages and related on your system?
Make a note of the packages and eventually reinstalling them?
Edit: That suggestion may not be as easy as I first thought.
My system is a built from ground-up Plasma - kirigami2 is a dependency of plasma framework - but the the addons package and the gallery package is not.
Ouch - I would probably not have jumped back - Plasma is less than ideal in such case.
I jumped on unstable, then back to stable and it was a mess…
So I did a fresh install and tried restoring, but there’s some issues with the snapshots.
But actually I think maybe I have to go with a fresh install again and build it up manually over a few days.
I should have taken a serious image backup before jumping, afterwards I found my music (Guayadeque) broken, as well as Plex-htpc (which is broken now by the Stable update).
Lightly’s last release on GitHub is over a year old. Not sure if it’s a good idea to use it on new plasma (although Nic was mentioning it.)
Did you try to remove it completely again?

As I was drinking my tea, I could sea ‘places’ popping up in Dolphin. Hmmm Terminals are ok, but still quite a bit to do - force blur for Kitty terminal etc (happily, Ranger setup with previews is just a matter of copying from /home).
Lots of bits and bobs to install as we go - zoxide is on, history of last week’s terminal comes up no problems…
Now there’s plex, jackett, overseerr etc etc.
However, it’s all looking good.
systemsettings5 is still messy in terminal though…

I see, it was unrelated. My bad , I thought you just installed it.
You had this above, but that seems solved now for kcm_style.
Not able to reproduce it on my side with unstable branch. Could it be that you need to rebuild Lightly as an AUR package, which is now part of systemssettings, because of Qt upgrade?

It happens when you have toggled on Highlight Changed Settings at the bottom left of System Settings.
