Bug ID: 370312
Summary: New colours KCM needs far too many mouse clicks to
change a colour
Product: systemsettings
Version: unspecified
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_colors
Assignee: mwoehlke.fl...@gmail.com
Reporter: j...@keelhaul.me.uk

This KCM (in current plasma-desktop Git master, not sure if it has made it into
an official release yet) has been recently redesigned to presumably reduce the
complexity and the number of tabs. This, though, has happened at the price of
needing an excessive number of mouse clicks just to make a single colour
change.
In the previous style of KCM (and in KDE4), starting from the KCM being open
the sequence of mouse operations to change a single colour of the current
scheme is:
1. Select the Colours tab.
2. Click the colour button for the item to change, the colour picker opens.
3. Pick a colour by whatever means is wanted, then OK.
4. Click Apply, the desktop colour scheme changes.
In the new KCM the sequence needed is:
1. Assuming that the current colour scheme is selected in the list, click Edit
Scheme.
2. In the dialogue that appears, select the Colours tab.
3. Click the colour button for the item to change, the colour picker opens.
4. Pick a colour by whatever means is wanted, then OK.
5. Click Save.
6. Assuming that you don't want to change the name, click OK.
7. Click Overwrite to confirm overwriting the existing scheme.
8. Click Close.
9. Select the scheme name in the list again (since there is now no selection).
10. Click Apply; the desktop colour scheme changes.
This needs more than twice as many mouse clicks to perform the equivalent
operation, making it more difficult to tweak those colours which are not shown
in the preview (e.g. window title bar colours).
Reproducible: Always
