Bug ID: 510663
Summary: "Accent color from wallpaper" + "Tint all colors with
accent color" fail to apply to certain elements
permanently if wallpaper is missing at login
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.3.4
Reported In:
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Theme - Breeze
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I am using a wallpaper that is from an external device that isn't loaded
immediately upon boot, and thus it fails to be set upon login (if anyone knows
how I can make this *not* happen in Kubuntu, I'd also appreciate) and falls
back to the default wallpaper, and I also use a color scheme that tints using
the average taken from the wallpaper (which affects the Breeze application
theme + window decorations as well as the other included themes). What happens
after I set the wallpaper back to the desired one is that the color scheme is
updated, however some UI elements, most prominently the window decorations (but
also the colorized GTK theme, and maybe a few others) don't update the color
scheme, and even if you switch the wallpaper to something else, it is now stuck
with the colors of the default wallpaper. This persists even after killing the
plasmashell process and restarting it, and is only fixed by logging out and
back in.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set your wallpaper to a picture located in an external device (not mounted
automatically), or a picture that is made unavailable, or renamed afterwards.
2. Use a color scheme that has both "accent color from wallpaper" and "tint all
colors with accent color" options
3. Log out, or restart OS
4. Log into a session
5. Wallpaper will be set to the default, change back to the desired wallpaper
after mounting the external device or making the image file available again
OBSERVED RESULT
The color scheme will be applied partially to UI elements, but notably the
window decorations will persist with the colors from the default wallpaper. GTK
applications using the Breeze theme will also not update to use the changed
color scheme.
EXPECTED RESULT
The color scheme would be updated to the average of the currently set wallpaper
after a few seconds, window decorations included.
