SUMMARY
When a system monitor sensor is made a desktop widget, and then put into a panel,  its sensor details colors will be the default blue instead of whatever it was set to. I believe this is a reported (not fixed) issue, though I can't find it anymore. But when I attempt to change the color to the correct one and hit "Apply", it doesn't actually change. I have to change submenus in the settings window, and then back, then change the color *again* (it shows that it is set to the correct color at this point), then hit "Apply" again. *Then* it'll change to the set color.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click a system monitor sensor chart in system monitor and click "Add chart as Desktop widget"
2. Enter panel edit mode and drag the widget to a panel.
3. Right click widget in the panel and click "Configure system monitor sensor"
4. Go to "Sensors details" and attempt to change the color of a Sensor.
5. Click "Apply"

OBSERVED RESULT
The color of the sensor does not change.

EXPECTED RESULT
The color of the sensor should change to the selected color.

I'm not able to reproduce this on git-master. I'll leave this open in case someone else can reproduce.

Works for me as well on git master. Let's call it fixed in Plasma 6.4 until and unless it shows up there again.
