Menu bar items on hover with Windows 10 Contrast White
Sorry, I've accidentally submitted too early (due to bad UX when adding attachments). The problem is that on hover Breeze uses the WindowText role for the text and the Highlight role for the background for menu bar items. In case of the high-contrast color schemes Contrast Black and Contrast White of Windows 10 this gives bad contrast because those color schemes use inverted text color for selection. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/breeze/-/merge_requests/547 Git commit 201bafed8d212ec4277a3fa8cd2279469f98f88a by Ingo Klöcker, on behalf of Ingo Klöcker. Committed on 12/11/2025 at 07:34. Pushed by kloecker into branch 'master'. kstyle: Draw hovered menu bar items like selected items This avoids problems with some high-contrast color schemes where hovered menu bar items had really bad contrast.
