Description Gabriel Fernandes 2019-10-21 19:45:39 UTC

SUMMARY
Due to KDE 5.17 new feature
"For instance, we have made the Breeze GTK theme respect your selected color scheme."
I first have made a post in reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/dk8bt2/gtk_theme_broken_on_new_kde_517/
As it seems to be a problem I'm filing this bug report
Comparison showing the problem https://imgur.com/a/eqd9Qjs

Basically the problem is this file (~/.config/gtk-3.0/colors.css) that is changed by KDE when colorscheme is changed
so breeze gtk gets the right colors based on the current kde colorscheme, which is awesome by the way. 
But this might interfere with other gtk themes other
than breeze gtk, like arc gtk for example that uses some variables with the same name as the ones set in that file, 
so the color of the gtk theme is overridden by the current colors of the colorscheme, this should be the case only
to breeze gtk as said in the Release Announcements of 5.17

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Change Colors to dark in settings
2. use Arc gtk theme (light version in this example)
3. Open some gtk application, like gnome calculator where it is visible

OBSERVED RESULT
Gtk theme color is the one from the kde color

EXPECTED RESULT
Gtk theme color be used by gtk applications

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: KDE neon 5.17
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.63.0
Qt Version: 5.13.1
Kernel Version: 5.0.0-32-generic

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This problem might occur in other gtk themes as well

Comment 1 Andrew Chen 2019-10-29 18:07:31 UTC

There should also be a way to override the color scheme, for example, there should be a way to use light theme for an application when the system is set to dark theme.

Please re-open if it's not fixed in Plasma 5.17.3!

Nate Graham: this bug isn't related to bug 413107; reopening.

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2019-11-11 00:24:43 UTC

Oops sorry, closed the wrong bug. I meant to mark Bug 412331 as a dupe of Bug 413107.

Or is that a dupe of this? Or something else?

Comment 5 Gabriel Fernandes 2019-11-18 23:41:01 UTC

I think https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412331 is highly related to this bug report, if not caused by the same reason (which I think it is).

On the other hand https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=413107 might be the same thing too, but I'm not sure

Hey, hello, I think it's actually not solved yet
I'm using plasma 5.17.4
I just created a new account to test this out and sadly the problem is still there

Comment 8 Nate Graham 2019-12-05 15:58:25 UTC

Indeed it is not solved. This bug is marked as a duplicate of Bug 412331, which is still open.
