Bug ID: 511552
Summary: Plasma Style Contrast Effect Settings No Longer
Honored
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.5.1
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux

Severity: normal

Sumac Molten Glass before and after comparison
SUMMARY
In Plasma 6.5.1, Contrast Effect settings supplied by the Plasma Style are no
longer honored and arbitrary values are passed. The Contrast Effect setting
also appears to have been removed entirely in 6.5.x, as it does not appear in
System Settings' Desktop Effects?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install a Plasma Style theme that passes Contrast Effect parameters, I used
Sumac Night Molten Glass
2. Apply the Plasma Style
3. View a plasmoid/dialog, ideally against a colorful background
OBSERVED RESULT
Dialogs are extremely saturated and Contrast Effect settings in the theme do
not appear to be used at all. It seems the Contrast Effect is configured with
arbitrary values. Changing the Contrast Effect parameters provided in the
plasmarc do not appear to make any change and the windows stay extremely
saturated.
EXPECTED RESULT
Contrast Effect settings passed by the Plasma Style are used when applying the
Contrast Effect.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 43
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0
Qt Version: 6.10.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Updates to KDE break plasma themes almost, if not every update. This change
simply happens to have very very high visibility. Is there a need for a line of
communication between theme developers and plasma developers? Perhaps 3rd party
resources should be incorporated into testing pipelines?
The ideal implementation in my opinion is to follow the settings of the Plasma
Style, but also provide the user with a means of overriding the setting. Some
other bug reports suggest that the functionality is going to disappear from
plasma.
