SUMMARY

Gwenview doesn't update the color of folders when Plasma's accent color changes

Now that Plasma offers the possibility of changing the accent colors based on the wallpaper, and the wallpaper can automatically change, this bug will become more visible to users.

PS: This seems to affect multiple apps, so this might need to be resolved somewhere else(?) (Refer to bug 446307)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Gwenview
2. Change accent color in System Settings

OBSERVED RESULT

Folders in the main view do not get updated with the new color. The ones on the sidebar do.

EXPECTED RESULT

All folders should have their colors updated

Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Gwenview 25.08.0 (the latest released version)?

I can confirm it still happens on 25.08.0 on Fedora 42. Gwenview needs to be relaunched before the accent color gets applied to folders.
