How to stop settings from randomly changing?

[Muddyfox]

Hello Garuda users.
I use the dragonized edition and really like all the features tho recource hungry the looks are wohrt it but sometimes some appearance settings just change on the own for example a week ago my windows got this blue dot to pin them on wich id never use or today Latte dock changed to look super ugly (imagine a screenshot if it would apper on one) with permanent lined for open stuff and just weird. any idea why this happens and what i could do?
P.s. The screenshot shows how i had it with lil blue balls for open apps and a line for the current app

This is a well-known topic, discussed many times in the past.
Then only short answer is backup, backup, backup…
I’ll give you a link below but you might search further in the forum.

KDE user configuration backup

E.g. Or, although it is a different concept, not really a backup, there is the widget "plasma customization saver". It is not perfect in my opinion, but not so bad.

Personally, I do have backups of course, but for quick and dirty theming recovery I use the “plasma customization saver” widget.

Ok that sucks i tried using my timeshift backup tho its just the important stuff so well...
but i also cant switch back to what i had, changing between Latte and Plasma doesnt change anything and win10 isnt available at all

[filo]

@Muddyfox

i tried using my timeshift backup

Do you use it also for your home directory? Otherwise timeshift can’t help there.

[mrvictory]

To fix emojis (ie the question mark next to Dragonized mark in top bar) use

sudo pacman -S noto-color-emoji-fontconfig

[Muddyfox]

No that is why it didnt help...
but do you have a clue how i can revert it?

[filo]

If it got worst After restoring a snapshot, have you already tried a garuda-update?

[Muddyfox]

I did garuda-update and reste Latte via garuda settings but like i statte above i can still not change the apperance settings or atleast it doesnt change anything.
