plasma-apply-colorscheme

    The name of the color scheme to apply. This must match the name of a valid color scheme file (without the extension) available in the system's color scheme directories (e.g., /usr/share/color-schemes/, ~/.local/share/color-schemes/).

The `plasma-apply-colorscheme` command is a utility in KDE Plasma environments used to apply a color scheme to the desktop. It allows users to quickly change the appearance of their Plasma desktop by setting colors for windows, widgets, icons, and other UI elements. The command takes the name of the color scheme as an argument and applies it system-wide (or user-specific, depending on how Plasma is configured).
This command simplifies the process of customizing the visual experience within Plasma, providing an efficient way to switch between preferred color themes without navigating through the system settings. Using this, users can easily change themes via scripts.
Color schemes are stored in files, the application reads these files and changes several KDE settings to match the colors used in the selected color scheme.

If the specified color scheme name is invalid or the color scheme file is not found, the command will typically exit with an error message on stderr.

Color schemes are usually located in the /usr/share/color-schemes/ or ~/.local/share/color-schemes/ directories. You can find available color schemes in the Plasma System Settings under Appearance -> Colors.
