"Install" new Sound packs

Hello there!

I am currently customizing the heck out of bazzite (as far as the immutable system allows) and now I'm running into a wall. Id' like to add new Soundthemes to the existing Ocean and FreeDesktop.
Is there a way to do that? Either I googled the wrong thing or didn't look close enough...

Thanks!

yup seems like it

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 9:43 AM

/usr/share/sounds/usr/share/sounds is where the default immutable sounds go

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 9:43 AM

custom user sounds go in ~/.local/share/sounds~/.local/share/sounds

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 9:49 AM

yup tried it myself & it definitely does work

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 9:51 AM

same

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 11:16 AM

isn't there by default

the KDE team is working on a different theming system to make it easier & safer to theme stuff

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 11:56 AM

for example currently global themes can actually run code

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 11:57 AM

which can do harmful things

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 11:58 AM

that's one of the things the devs don't want

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 12:03 PM

another is just making theme making easier

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 12:05 PM

the new idea is basically having 3 layers of software

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 12:06 PM

the top layer is the language/way you make the theme

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 12:07 PM

nowadays that's mostly SVG images

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 12:08 PM

the top layer whatever it is gets converted to a common language which the bottom layer uses to generate the final theme

there's a version of plasma for phones(plasma mobile) & even one for TVs(plasma bigscreen)

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 12:11 PM

currently you have to adjust a theme for all 3 if you want it to work on all 3

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 12:12 PM

with the new theming system that should all be taken care of by the bottom layer

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 12:25 PM

KDE itself has multiple toolkits for making apps
the 2 i can name off the top of my head are kirigami & QTWidgets so the new unified theming system will come in handy

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 12:26 PM

kirigami is mostly intended to make phone apps

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 12:27 PM

fun fact prism launcher uses QT so you can tell it to use your KDE theme

nagito || Knight of Emilia•12/7/25, 12:27 PM

it's the "system" theme among the prism themes
