Bug ID: 501606
Summary: New URL/Location Bar background does not indicate edit
state (too light/dark)
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: 6.12.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: URL navigator
Assignee: kio-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: breakingsp...@gmail.com
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Please refer to my feedback on
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/merge_requests/1793#note_1170629
RE: https://bugs.kde.org/475106
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin and navigate to a folder
2. Location Bar background is shaded now (lighter shade in light mode, darker
in dark)
3. However, clicking to edit the bar does not change the background shade as
before.
OBSERVED RESULT
The Location Bar seems "stuck" in edit mode, when it's not. Other indicators
are the only way to know.
EXPECTED RESULT
The Location Bar should be visibly different when editing the text field and
when not.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12
Qt Version: 6.8.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I brainstorm this could be resolved by introducing a new colorscheme value to
use for the default URL bar state, only a slight slight shade difference from
the header. Not sure if this value could be calculated dynamically, but having
it as a colorscheme value seems like the best solution.
Personally, I much preferred when the default location bar matched the header
as it has for years. A slight shade of a difference could change my mind, but
if given the option to define the color in my preferences, I will likely set it
back to match the header exactly.
