So, I went to change my kde global theme when my entire desktop went black..with this "oh shit" moment I went to then switch the theme back to default...but nothing happend, for some reason I thought closing the appearances windows might help but then there I was...staring at a black screen. So I restarted kde with ctrl alt backspace and now I'm sitting here with a login loop where the login page pops up, I type my info, I get a black screen followed by another login screen. I have tried going into the ctrl alt f4 terminal and logging in then running startx but to no avail. Any ideas?

Okay. So rebooting fixed it...so sorry for waisting your time but does anyone have any clue why this happend in the first place?

Was it theme incompatibility or something
