Description Hans Kratochwil 2009-01-21 16:42:03 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc-4.2.4 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When I change the current plasma theme, the theme of lancelot itself stays the old one. Even if I add a new Lancelot Widget, it does not change the theme of Lancelot. 
The only way to apply the new theme is to restart KDE. I think it would be more nice if Lancelot would change it appearance right after the plasmatheme was changed.

I agree with everything said (except restarting KDE - you can restart only Lancelot), it was just the matter of time when this will be reported as bug :)

Lancelot is a separate application to plasma, so it doesn't get the signal that the theme is changed.

With that said, it is not a trivial change, so it will not be added to 4.2.x series, but I'll do it for 4.3.

It seems that this bug is very related with this one:
