SUMMARY
After updating to èplasma 6.2.0 I am experiencing a slight but very noticeable
issue with screen contrast and color management, especially between light grays
and white, to the point where they are so similar to be basically
indistinguishable from each other.
This issue
- happens with Wayland, but not with Xorg
- happens when "Night Color" screen setting is enabled, and not when turned off
(or is not noticeable)
- when turning on/off "Night Color", the color is not transition smoothly like
the orange light, but switches abruptly from "good contrast" to "bad contrast"
(I hope to have been clear enough, I'm trying to describe a transition state
just by using words)
I'm attaching a couple of screenshots, they were taken with my phone since this
issue is not visible in screenshots taken i.e. with spectacle, it only affects
screen rendering.
This is noticeable in example on GitHub "code boxes"
https://github.com/stefanobartoletti/eslint-config?tab=readme-ov-file#installation
or in tables that have rows colored in alternating white/gray, making them less
readable.
This may seem trivial but as someone working in web design it is very important
to me to be able to properly tell colors apart.
