SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a on-demand panel on right side (haven't actually tested other panels)
2. Make it ~300px wide
3. Use the "Plasma" color scheme.

OBSERVED RESULT
You get a tiling background texture (see reference screenshot)

EXPECTED RESULT
Should look normal

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: KDE neon 5.18
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.14.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It works fine under the "Reverse" Color scheme and "Smart" scheme.

Looks like with any plasmoid added, to the panel that can expand, such as Event Calendar or most time/date related ones, when you click on them to expand it, the entire panel changes color back to the same tiling pattern as you see in the reference screenshot.

I'm unsure of whether the problem is in Latte Dock or in the plasmoids I'm using, but it seems to be consistent across multiple plasmoids. I've also tried using it without the grouping plasmoid with the same result.

1. send you latte layout file
2. Which plasma theme are you using?

3. To check out if it is Latte responsibility check out if the problem appears with plasma panes also
Comment 4 Michail Vourlakos 2020-04-04 10:08:53 UTC
my thought is that the problem is not Latte but with plasma theme you are using. If you use Breeze plasma theme do you have that issue?
Comment 5 Michail Vourlakos 2020-04-04 10:18:10 UTC
I saw you post on reddit this is not Latte or Plasma fault. You are using McMojave plasma theme, its panel-background.svg does not contain the stretch element indicator, check out other plasma themes to see how this is achieved.

Thank you for figuring it out so quickly. I'll check it out. I'm 0 for 3 on reporting latte-dock bugs today and am starting to feel like a terrible person.
