Description Angelos Skembris 2020-05-24 18:01:56 UTC 
SUMMARY

When the system colors have been inverted and night color is activated, each time the color is shifted the inversion is reset to normal colors.

Since the shift to night color is applied progressively every few minutes, the color inversion reset happens many times until the night color temp has been finally reached.

This is a bit frustrating when trying to work with inverted colors during these hours. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Activate night color
2. Have system colors inverted when night color is activated
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
System colors revert to normal colors every time the temperature is shifted towards the expected target value.

EXPECTED RESULT
Color inversion should remain unaffected as temperature is shifted.
