SUMMARY

Manually selecting a colour scheme in some (most?) Qt apps will use the accent colour of the colour scheme in every circumstance. I assume this is intended behaviour, but it would be nice if there was the option to maintain your global accent colour across colour schemes.

The issue is that I tend to want most apps to use light mode, while others like Krita and Kdenlive I would like to use dark mode. Setting the colour scheme in the apps to Breeze Dark however ignores my accent colour and reverts to the default blue, creating inconsistency in the UI.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch any app that supports  changing the colour scheme
2. Change colour scheme to anything other than "Default"

OBSERVED RESULT
The accent colour is reset to the colour scheme's default

EXPECTED RESULT
My custom accent colour to be (optionally) retained across colour schemes
