--- Comment #10 from Brennan Kinney <polarathene-sig...@hotmail.com> ---
Chiming in as I think this is what I've just noticed when testing latest daily
build of openSUSE Krypton.
"Use accent color" results in different appearance between "From current color
scheme" and "Custom", despite providing the same colour value.
I am not familiar with the color scheme or accent feature. Playing around with
editing a color scheme, it seemed the "Selection Color" was mapped to the
accent used by the scheme, and the contrast slider in the options tab made no
difference.
I liked the brighter accent from the scheme, but when text was involved (white
text in a dark theme), the text was not readable. I was hoping the contrast
slider would have helped with that.
When using "Custom" for accent source instead, the dimmed accent was much
better for readability (file selected in Dolphin).

I also noticed in the systray "Audio Volume" applet that the tabs used the
color scheme "Hover Decoration". That colour change would not be visible until
I changed back to "Custom" accent, applied, and back to "From current color
scheme", or by changing the "Selection" colour in the scheme also would update
the colour used in the applet tab.. I guess it relied on the accent colour
being adjusted as other settings did not seem to make a difference at updating
the visual.
When "Custom" is used for the accent, it would override the "Hover Decoration"
from the colour scheme, it seems to be the colour value assigned to "Custom"
without any alterations, while the applets sliders beneath the "Devices" tab
have the dulled accent (testing with a bright red).
I guess "Custom" accent overrides multiple colors from the scheme this way? Or
the other way around, and the "From current color scheme" replaces the accent
with a variety of sources? As a user who's not strayed from the defaults
before, it's unclear to me what is overriding the other, and what values in a
color scheme map to the accents "Custom" affects.
---
While the accent adjustments for contrast with "Custom" seem to be otherwise
good for readability, I get the impression there is a consistency issue. Not
only is the "Selection" colour used from the scheme as an accent, with "Custom"
adjusting the value, "Custom" is also applying the accent chosen on other
colours from the scheme that were a different colour.
It's a very different experience between the two for me. My expectation was
that "Use accent color" selects a source for the accent, not to modify it or
override other colours from the scheme too. That sounds like a different
setting that provides dynamic contrast (nice), and overrides (vague, possibly
some visual/contextual hierarchy?)
