KDE-Copycat (Plasma 6)

Terminal app that bundles your current KDE Plasma 5/6 setup into a reusable backup/theme-style package. It detects what you’re using now (theme, effects, icons, etc.) and exports the relevant config files into a clean folder structure.

What it backs up

• Plasma global theme bits (look-and-feel, wallpapers, widgets/panels where applicable)
• KWin settings (effects, decorations, rules)
• Plasma desktop config files and preferences
• KDE app configs (ex: Konsole profiles, Dolphin settings)
• Color schemes + icon themes

How it works

• Shows your active KDE settings while you pick what to include
• Copies files into ~/KDE-Backups/<name>/ and writes a backup_info.txt
• If permissions block a path, it can re-run with sudo or generate chmod commands
