--- Comment #5 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> --- I did some investigation here and discovered the following: 1. We currently blend the accent color 70/30 with the color scheme's background color 2. This is done at the moment of application, so the color you choose is not exactly the color you get; the final color depends on the base color scheme. It also means that if you change the base color scheme, your accent color changes too 3. We do this for two reasons: 3a. to make the accent color visually fit in with the parent color scheme better 3b. to prevent any color in the color scheme that would otherwise be identical to the accent color (e.g. the link color) from disappearing when it's a part of a list item that gets selected We could resolve 3b in a different way, by changing the link color rather than the applied accent color. However for 3a, we would have to throw that out completely, as it is not compatible with the idea of using the exact accent color that you choose without processing it at all. As a result, any accent color you set that looks good on a light theme might seem too bright on a dark theme, and any accent color you set that looks good with a dark theme might seem too muted on a light theme. I don't see a good way of preventing that unless we keep the current behavior. Thoughts? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
