Do you mean Configure Desktop/Personal Settings? There is no "System Settings" here. Withing that are: Account Details, Application Appearance, Application and System Notifications, File Associations, Locale, Personal Information, and Shortcuts and Gestures.
The app is still called systemsettings but those might be the labels in the menu you listed.
The alternate names given in the launcher are 1) Configure Desktop and 2) Personal Settings. System Settings seems to be yet a third name. The whole reason for giving entities names is to enable identification -- a point which seems to be ill understood at KDE. There is no possible justification for anything to have three names. For that matter, there isn't any point to giving meaningless names to entities, but that is another subject that has gone over the collective head of KDE.
Ah, I think I found it in Workplace Appearance and Behavior, in Window Decorations, where I have visited many times lately, and have always found that everything seemed to be in order. Do you see the difficulty when terminology is unstable and also non-intuitive, and when authoritative people use different versions?
It's due to translation, I do not use an English desktop. :)
It would be impossible to expect anyone to remember names of anything in all possible languages (even if there were only one name per entity per language). But if one is writing in a language not his own, it might be well to remark the fact, rather than throwing the translation task onto the reader. I, for example, don't get psychic messages about what the nomenclature is in German or Swedish (sorry, I have no idea where you live).
I have forsaken "Air" (which seems to be polluted), and chosen Laptop. That did fix the default Panel, but it has left the second Panel BLACK and useless. Probably the workaround would be to abandon it.
Changing the windeco will not help. You have to change the plasma theme. Go to where you changed the windeco to "Laptop" and look on the left for other modules. In one of them you will find the plasma themes.
