Summary: Automatic Light/Dark theme switching loses the custom
window decorations
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version First 6.5.1
Reported In:
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
Automatic and Manual Light/Dark theme switching loses the custom (Klassy)
window decorations
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to: https://github.com/paulmcauley/klassy?tab=readme-ov-file#prebuilt
2. Download and install Klassy from OpenSUSE's Open Build Service.
3. Open Plasma's System Settings.
4. Go to: Colors & Themes -> Window Decorations.
5. Click on Klassy window decoration to select it and then on the Apply button.
6. Now wait for the time in the evening or in the morning for the automatic
switch to the dark or light mode.
OBSERVED RESULT
Every time that the theme is automatically switching to the dark mode or the
light mode, my favorite custom window decorations (in this case Klassy) are
lost and they are reverted back to the default Breeze ones.
EXPECTED RESULT
I expect / want that the the window decorations are changed only by me, from
that control panel and that Window Decorations page.
I expect / want that I don't have to open that control panel, navigate to that
page, select Klassy again and click on the Apply button, two times each day
after each automatic switch between light and dark mode.
This is too much and defeats the whole purpose of the automatic light / dark
theme switch if I have again to make the same amounts of clicks as I did before
when I was switching between the light and dark theme manually.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This was happening also before when I was switching between the light and /
dark theme manually two times a day (for a while as I got tired of it) from the
initial (Quick Settings) page and clicking on Breeze or Breeze Dark.
I complained so many times about it on multiple forums until somebody told me
try to try to switch the between the light and dark modes from the Colors &
Themes -> Colors instead.
I can confirm that switching from there between the Breeze Light and Breeze
Dark colors, indeed works to switch between the light and dark mode, while
keeping my custom Klassy window decorations intact, as I want them to remain.
But it's again too much trouble to go there and manually fix it 2 times a day,
each day!
Please make this Automatic light / dark them switching keep Klassy or whatever
other custom window decoration we have once set.
And while you are there, it would be nice to fix also the Manual light / dark
theme switching from the top of the Quick Settings page.
I think that it would also be better if Breeze would be renamed to Breeze Light
on the Quick Settings page, like in the Colors page.
I think it's more clear to everybody if they all have "Light", "Dark",
"automatic" after "Breeze".
BTW, I cannot select 6.5.2 in that "Version First Reported in" drop-down as
6.5.1 is the most recent one.
