Package: maliit-keyboard
Version: 2.3.1-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I'm trying to use maliit-keyboard on a laptop with a touchscreen using
sudo apt install maliit-keyboard
maliit keyboard can be enabled in the KDE system settings.
Then the keyboard correclty shows when touching a text area on the screen.
But there is no way to configure in the KDE system settings panel.
So I tried to change the settings dconf-editor or gsettings.
I can change the enabled languages, but I can't switch to a dark theme.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
1) I tried to change the following commands from
(https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2021/03/using-maliit-keyboard-in-a-plasma-wayland-session/):
gsettings set org.maliit.keyboard.maliit enabled-languages "['fr',
'ru', 'emoji']"
gsettings set org.maliit.keyboard.maliit theme BreezeDark
In dconf-editor, we can tune these parameters, but there is no way to list
valid theme values.
The default value of org.maliit.keyboard.maliit theme is "Ambiance" but I don't
undernstand why it is a valid theme value.
2) I also tried this
(https://github.com/maliit/keyboard/issues/174#issuecomment-1307825321)
supposed to map the maliit keyboard theme to the current KDE theme.
As root:
echo "export QT_QUICK_CONTROLS_STYLE=org.kde.desktop" >
/usr/local/bin/maliit-keyboard
echo "/usr/bin/maliit-keyboard" >> /usr/local/bin/maliit-keyboard
As user:
cp /usr/share/applications/com.github.maliit.keyboard.desktop
$HOME/.local/share/applications
sed -i 's%Exec=maliit-keyboard%Exec=/usr/local/bin/maliit-keyboard%'
$HOME/.local/share/applications/com.github.maliit.keyboard.desktop
Then I disabled/re-enagle maliit-keyboard in KDE system settings but the
keyboard won't show until I remove
$HOME/.local/share/applications/com.github.maliit.keyboard.desktop.
Running from the terminal gives the following outputs:

3) I tried to change the settings through maliit-keyboard itself (long tap on
the emoticon key, then tap Settings). But nothing happens.
* What was the outcome of this action?
The keyboard has the right languages, but still uses a light theme.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The keyboard theme should become dark, as shown here
(https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2021/03/using-maliit-keyboard-in-a-plasma-wayland-session/)
and customizable through maliit/KDE settings.
By default, the keyboard should match the KDE theme (see (2)).
Ideally, KDE systemsettings should allow to change the theme/langauges/...
through a combo boxes.
