Instructions:

Edit /etc/default/grub and comment or change the "GRUB_THEME=" line:
Code: [Select]
```
#GRUB_THEME="/usr/share/grub/themes/Artix"
```

Update the grub.cfg:

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Find Artix theme packages (Be careful that you only remove theming related packages, see package summary below):
Code: [Select]
```
pacman -Qsq artix
```
Uninstall Artix theme packages (Example for current Plasma ISO (artix-plasma-openrc-20230814-x86_64.iso)):
Code: [Select]
```
sudo pacman -Rns artix-branding-base artix-grub-theme artix-gtk-presets artix-qt-presets sddm-theme-artix
```

Clear misconfigured /etc/environment:

sudo rm /etc/environment && > /etc/environment.txt

Close all applications except a terminal or file explorer
Rename "~/.config" to "./config-backup":
Code: (Move command) [Select]
```
mv ~/{.config,.config-backup}
```
Log out then log back in (This will generate new configs for your DE)
Open only a file explorer(Anything you open has a chance of generating new configs in "/.config")
Move or copy any or all configs back from "./config-backup" to "/.config", always write into but never overwrite (Very hard to do in a terminal)
Unless you think you need the remaining files in "/.config-backup", there is no harm in deleting it:
Code: [Select]
```
rm -rf ~/.config-backup
```
Log out and profit
