Black screen after applying default KDE theme

I went to apply a default theme and it completely ate the desktop and taskbar, resulting in this black screen besides the actual theme window itself. I foolishly selected the “desktop and window layout” button, expecting nothing funny. I’m unsure what to do here, I’d just like my taskbar back :,D

Sorry for the hobo image. My system specs should still be similar from my previous post, apologies I can’t get a more slightly updated ver. I did a system update this morning and everythings been fine until I messed with themes.

Hello all! So good news, I came home to discover my computer timed out and went to sleep. I was pretty worried at first, but it went to the login menu fine. And onwards was just the black screen again. I decided to give it another go (note to self… don’t tinker with system before leaving to real life duties…) and CTRL ALT DEL to reboot it. And now everything is back to normal it seems.

I discovered this is apparently a known bug with KDE (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498175) so :,] atleast I know I didn’t trip over something big time.

I’ll leave this here for anyone else encountering this issue. If anyone has anything else to add (like how to avoid this in the future or anything buggy about themes) feel free to comment further. I hope this gets fixed soon, ricing is my favorite thing to do on my laptop :,D
