since i Create a taskbar i use on my distributions
based on debian ubuntu and arch kde under the name claudemods
i had an issue on plasma 6 arch
i created this to fix the issues i was having with copying my distributions necessities to locked root directories
now you can open the dolphin as root with just one downloaded .desktop file
it Works with plasma 5 and plasma 6
Attention:
Please read up on root and system files before changing anything with this add-on!!
Please note, the black-themed tab that I have open in my photo will be your default root account's desktop theme color. I just so happen to have mine customized as Breeze Dark and on my main account its as Breeze Light.
The is the defaults on my distributions i create
