Bug ID: 512285
Summary: Notification popups (eg volume, brightness, keyboard
layout) use wrong text colour
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First master
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Notifications
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Plasma notification popups appearing in the middle of the screen are no longer
readable for some users. These are shown when changing things such as the
volume, brightness or the keyboard layout.
This is noticeable if a light style is used in general, but a dark style is
used for the plasma desktop (or the other way around), as you then have dark
text on a dark background, or light on light.
The notification now uses "Window Text" from the general colour theme but does
_NOT_ use the corresponding "Window Background" - that is taken from the
"Plasma Style" theme instead.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pick a light colour theme (eg: Breeze light)
2. Pick a dark plasma style (eg: Breeze dark)
3. Change the volume using keyboard shortcut or the mousewheel over the tray
volume symbol, and try to read the text on the popup in the middle of the
screen
OBSERVED RESULT
The text has very low contrast compared to the background.
EXPECTED RESULT
The text has high contrast compared to the background.
Both text and background colour should come from the same theme location, as
defined under "Plasma Style".
