Bug ID: 433189
Summary: Breeze 5.20 no longer allows to have a different title
bar color from the background color
Product: Breeze
Version: 5.21.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: window decoration
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: lob...@austrofiction.at
CC: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Since the plasma 5.20 update, my Breeze (and Oxygen, but I used Breeze) window
decorations no longer show the color I set for the active window title bar.
Also, in the system settings/appearance/window decorations dialog where you can
edit the appearance details of the themes, in this case Breeze, the option to
have a different title bar color from the window background color is gone. So I
think this might be by design. (Same for Oxygen)
There is the option in the Breeze window decoration to have a dividing line
between title bar and the rest of the active window, but that is not a good
enough visual cue for me.
I am visually impaired and often have to work with a large number of windows.
Having a different title bar color for the active window allows me to have
different title bars for active and inactive windows. That makes it much easier
to spot the active window and my life a lot easier. Darkening non-active
windows is not a solution, since I have to consult text in non-active windows
while working in the active window, and darkening makes it hard to read.
For now, I make do with the "Plastik" window decoration, where the different
title bar color still works – but for how long?
This used to work in Plasma 5.20
