Description Friedrich W. H. Kossebau 2016-02-29 13:14:49 UTC

If one switches between breeze-dark and breeze L&F themes, then the updates of some of the affected settings only happen delayed on the next theme switch, as if they are in a one-step-deep pipe.

Example:
PlasmaCore.FrameSvgItem items with imagePath "widgets/frame", like used in the calculator applet, only pick up the currently set background color on the next L&F switch.
As the text on the other hand properly picks up new theme color, with switch between bright & dark this results in unreadable/unusable look.

After a restart of the workspace it seems all settings are properly used.
So possibly some change signalling issue in the running system?

Reproducible: Always
