--- Comment #3 from Jan Rathmann <jan.rathm...@gmx.de> --- Created attachment 180170 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=180170&action=edit Screenshots of outline intensity for Breeze Classic Akseli, thanks for the detailed explanation of the algorithm behind the outline color; it is more complex than I had realized before. I have compiled a series of screenshots to illustrate the effect that the different outline intensity levels have for: * bright window content on bright background (Kate on Kate) * bright window content on dark background (Kate on Konsole) * dark window content on bright background (Konsole on Kate) * dark window content on dark background (Konsole on Konsole) What I noticed: 1. The actual outline color is indeed independent from window content or background: For Breeze Classic, the outline intensity levels have the follow effect: lower means brighter, higher means darker. 2. The visual effect of a perceived(!) bright outline, especially on dark background or window decoration is visually domimant for me compared to a perceived(!) dark outline on dark on bright background. And on Breeze Classic, there is always an element with dark background on any window: the window decoration. I think the second point is what makes me perceive the outline on Breeze Classic on low intensity settings feel stronger than on higher intensity settings. Not sure what would help here – use the color of the window decoration instead of the window/ text color to calculate if the outline should go from dark to bright or from bright to dark? Or some heuristic to detect a dark window decoration color on a light color scheme? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
