Bug ID: 442812
Summary: "Quick Settings" Light/Dark theme switcher nukes
user's accent/custom color preference.
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.22.90
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Choosing and applying "Dark/Light theme" from "System Settings" > "Quick
Settings" inappropriately changes the state of accent color from the user
defined one to the default Breeze blue color. This is an issue in respect to UX
as users expect the aforementioned option(s) to only change the Light/Dark
variant of the Breeze them but not the accent color. Some notable case for such
an issue is that such behavior forces user to adjust its previously selected
accent/custom color over and over again whenever user decides to switch between
Light and Dark themes.
*Especially, this is an often case with there being no daytime theme select
feature in Plasma as of now; therefore, users heavily relies on the "Quick
Settings" Light/Dark theme settings to readily change the theme.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open "System Settings" > "Quick Settings"
2. Choose either "Light Theme" or "Dark Theme" from "Quick Settings" and click
"Apply" button at the lower-right corner of the page.
OBSERVED RESULT
User applied accent/custom color from "System Settings" > "Appearance" >
"Colors" is converted to default Breeze blue color.
EXPECTED RESULT
The accent color does not change, but the Breeze theme switches either to dark
or light variant of "Breeze".
