Unsure. Plasma uses QML (which is just extended JavaScript), so it might be
possible to extend it without binary plugins.

@Christoph Feck could you please check if the explanation you gave above also
applies for bug reports #393052 and #386621 ?

Thank You

Hi Christoph. I was talking with Nate in his blog (
https://pointieststick.wordpress.com/2018/04/07/this-week-in-usability-productivity-part-13/comment-page-1/#comment-908
) about this bug report.

>From what i understand, you think the limitation still applies (making it
useless to reopen the bug), right?

Widget styles are still binary plugins. Some of these, e.g. QtCurve, might
offer GHNS support separately.

I'm referring to adding a button for GHNS to download Widget Styles in System
Settings > Application Style > Applications
in case i was not clear enough :)

Does this still apply?
I ask this because i would like to reopen this bug, if the above comment does
not make sense anymore. At present time there are a lot of things we can
already download from GHNS and this would be a plus!
