Description Ahmet Sait 2023-08-27 11:25:32 UTC 
SUMMARY
Titlebars should be rendered in the color they are defined in rather than header colors.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to System Settings → Appearance → Colors
2. Edit Breeze Classic theme, set "Header → Normal Background" color to something different than "Common Colors → Active Titlebar"
3. Launch Kate and observe that both titlebar and header colors are the same.

OBSERVED RESULT
Titlebars are getting the color defined in the Colors:Header section:
[Colors:Header]
BackgroundNormal=255,0,0

Instead of getting the color defined under WM section:
[WM]
activeBackground=0,255,0

EXPECTED RESULT
Titlebars shoud not be influenced by header color settings.

Comment 1 Bug Janitor Service 2023-08-27 11:33:49 UTC 
Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 5.24.7 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE; supported versions are 5.27, and 5.27 or newer. Please upgrade to a supported version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need support for Plasma 5.24.7, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older releases that are no longer supported by KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to a supported version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
