Right, because we use opacity for the text. I'm not convinced this is really a problem, or if it is, that it's worth the effort to fix, though. We use lowered opacity for text pretty much everywhere and we would have to commit to doing something different in all those places. You can always move your pointer elsewhere so the highlight effect disappears, as you mentioned. So there's a fairly simple workaround.

Perception varies from person to person I guess, and I find it annoying, that's why I opened the report. :) > We use lowered opacity for text pretty much everywhere and we would have to commit to doing something different in all those places. Is this also the case for Discover in the screenshot I attached? As there the text on the bright blue background, which is hard to read for me. In Discover's case I think the text is 100% opacity, and the problem is simply that the blue background itself is too bright. This is being worked on in https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/qqc2-desktop-style/-/merge_requests/270.

Thank you for your quick response! :) Are you sure you've linked the right MR though? !270 is about `Rounded item delegate`. Does this cover the background color too? It does; the title is just a bit misleading right now. Bulk transfer as requested in T17796 Both are using their respective highlight styles correctly. I don't think there's anything we can do here until and unless the Plasma highlighting style is changed more generally, which would be a large project and realistically will most likely not happen until Union is rolled out and used to style both apps and Plasma. |
Created attachment 161237 [details] Screenshots SUMMARY When you hover the mouse over an item in the network manager, the item's whole background becomes highlighted (blue), unfortunately also the text color changes from white or gray to a more blueish tone. Please see the screenshots I have attached: In the middle one I have replaced the highlighting color with the Breeze Dark background as if it weren't highlighted. You can see that the text got a blueish accent color. This results in a lower contrast and makes the text and graph harder to read and as a user I tend to move the mouse away. It would be great if the background didn't blend into the graphs or texts so that those keep their original color.
