System Settings messed up and crashing [SOLVED]

Hi yall, my System Settings is totally messed up. The UI is hard to read and won't respond to theme changes and some of the options just crash the app. How can I clean reinstall/delete all settings that control the UI of System Settings. I think the options that are crashing might just be missing packages so there might be two problems.

This is a fairly fresh install of archlinux using Antergos.

All I really want to do is hard reset all the non-default settings so I can properly configure kde-plasma. I also have some lingering gnome apps that came with GNOME 3.

What should I do?

Re: System Settings messed up and crashing [SOLVED]

I was able to resolve the issue by resetting the qt5 config:
mv ~/.config/qt5/qt5ct.conf ~/.config/qt5/qt5ct.conf.old

In case someone gets into the same trouble I did

Glad your issue is solved. But we don't support Antegros here. You should have ready that when you registered an account. You can participate in the forums, but you will not get support assistance.
