Description daron439 2024-02-01 18:33:01 UTC 
SUMMARY
I have this cursor theme https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1341926 (it's not that noticeable with the breeze cursor, just the outline turns light blue) and when I turn night light on it becomes light blue.  This was not the case in 5.27.10.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use the wayland session (I haven't checked x11)
2. Turn on night light

OBSERVED RESULT
the cursor changes color significantly

EXPECTED RESULT
the color of the cursor remains almost the same

When "Shake Cursor" effect is enabled, the cursor color turns normal when it becomes larger.

IIRC this is a graphics driver issue, but I'll let Xaver confirm (or deny) that.

Please test this on top of a completely black background. Most likely this is a duplicate of bug 479889, and the cursor does not actually turn light blue, but only looks that way because everything else is tinted red.

I have difficulty telling colors apart and it looks blue on top of a black background. It works fine with KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1.
