Bug ID: 457307
Summary: Header colors should be a separate color instead of
automatically applied
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.25.3
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org

Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I've run into problems making Plasma Themes. Because header colors are always
applied if there are assets that are background color in header/footer svg, it
often ruins certain styles. For instance, I have wanted to make a a
color-compatible theme that simply had more opaque headers and footers. Because
coloring the headers of dialogs is hard-coded, them being present in the color
scheme means the top of a dialog will always have a different color from the
bottom, even if it was not intended.
Similarly, Aurorae could also benefit from access to header colors and may be
able to solve the conflict of color-compatibility. Of course, that would
require a lot of updates to it to truly resolve its problems.
Being able to pick and choose when colors are applied would improve the
flexibility of plasma's theming and, in an ideal world, cut down on the need
for numerous duplicate themes that are basically recolors.
In the case of the Willow Spectrum theme, using it with Breeze Light (which has
a darker header) causes the header to become darker even though it would
usually become lighter and easier to read due to background color.
