DESCRIPTION
There is no way to switch between custom global themes in an automatic way,
like it is possible for the Breeze themes.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a global for the day and another one for the night based on Breeze
Light and Dark.
2. Try to specify that you want to have the Automatic switching between those
newly created custom themes, instead of the automatic switching between Breeze
Light and Dark.
OBSERVED RESULT
You can't!
There is no such config.
EXPECTED RESULT
You can!
There is a config to do that.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The main reason why I want this to be fixed, is because the Automatic global
theme switching from the Quick settings just loses every kind of configuration,
so it's useless and I don't want it.
I guess it's fine only for people who like the Breeze Light and Dark themes
exactly as they are, but I don't!.
I don't like the tiny window control buttons (minimize, maximize, close), the
tiny round hover feedback and the very narrow scroll bars.
I found that Kassy can solve both problem so I switched to:
Klassy Window decoration (configured with Defenestrated 10 profile, as I don't
like rounded things in software).
Klassy application style (configured with custom width sizes for the scroll
bars).
So, with the help of Klassy, I fixed both things that I didn't like in Both
Breeze global themes.
Since this is still not fixed:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=512139
And I heard that the losing of configurations can be alleviated / mitigated
with the help of custom global themes I started using that by doing these
steps:
1. Switch to Breeze Light
2. Switch to Klassy window decoration
3. Switch to Kassy application style
4. Save current theme as 'My day'...
And similarly:
1. Switch to Breeze Dark
2. Switch to Klassy window decoration
3. Switch to Kassy application style
4. Save current theme as 'My night'...
This workaround for the Automatic global theme switching without losing the
customizations works, but besides the many steps to actually create the 2
global themes they way I want them, there are still too many steps to switch
between them, including confirmation pop-up windows that always nag you, as
they are not visible on the Quick settings page, like the Breeze themes are,
and I have to do 2 times in 24 hours.
And of course there is no Automatic way to switch between them, like you can do
for the Breeze ones.
This workaround for the Automatic Breeze theme switching, that loses all the
configurations seems to be half-baked without having a way to do Automatic
custom themes switching too.
If you need some printscreens or informations, please let me know, thank you!
