Description ita1024 2014-11-09 01:24:10 UTC 
When using konsole with several tabs, the titles in the tab bar change color after a while, and this is distracting. I have in particular an ssh session in a tab and the color change when there is any activity is interrupting me when I am programming.

Please make the default not notify when there are changes, or provide a way to disable this behaviour.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fire konsole
2. Open a few tabs
3. In one tab, open an ssh session to some server, go to some server with irssi
4. In another tab, open vim and start to program
5. Enjoy the visual interruptions from the tab that has ssh

Actual Results:  
Irritating visual distraction and mental fatigue. Why have the tabs change color by themselves?! Let them as they are!

Expected Results:  
No visual distraction.

I have tried to set the "Threshold for continuous silence" in the "edit profile" dialog but this has no effect, or I did not understand what this is about.

"Threshold for continuous silence" is for the "Monitor for Silence" feature, so that's indeed unrelated.

One of the first things i do is to change the notification text to black using a stylesheet (Settings -> configure konsole -> tabbar -> user-defined stylesheet) which contains:

QTabBar::tab {
        color:black;
}
QTabBar::tab:selected, QTabBar::tab:hover {
        color: black;
}

The issue is old, I have a workaround I do not think anyone will change the default stylesheet so i am marking this as resolved.
