Background service page removed from Plasma settings?

How can I access that background service page in Plasma settings? Or was it removed?

I need it to suspend and restart GTK synchronization service to fix applying themes to GTK apps.

To access the background services page in Plasma settings, follow these steps:

  1. Open System Settings.
  2. Navigate to Startup and Shutdown.
  3. Click on Background Services.

If you don’t find the option there, it’s possible that it might have been moved or changed in a recent update. Make sure your Plasma version is up-to-date.

To suspend and restart the GTK synchronization service, you can usually manage it directly from this page. If the service isn’t listed, you might need to restart it via the terminal:

systemctl --user restart kded5

This command restarts the KDE Daemon, which should refresh the GTK synchronization service and apply your theme changes.

Let me know if this helps or if you need further assistance!

I already updated my system:

Operating System: Manjaro Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0
Qt Version: 6.7.1
Kernel Version: 6.9.5-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

I think it was under “Session” category.

If anyone doesn’t find it, simply search for word “Background” in kickoff, and you will find it, it launches as standalone app and not inside Plasma settings.
