Description alfredit 2025-09-23 00:31:14 UTC

In System Settings, under Colors, when I choose a custom accent color either manually or using the application to pick a color from the screen, the color is saved in the custom color box at that moment, but when I close System Preferences and reopen it, the chosen color disappears from the custom color box and they all revert to white.           

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings, choose a custom accent color, and save it in the custom colors box.
2. Apply it and close the system settings window.
3. Reopen the custom accent color section.

OBSERVED RESULT
The custom accent color you had saved in the box is no longer there.

EXPECTED RESULT
The custom accent color you had previously saved should still be there.

Can't reproduce on master

I also can't reproduce it. Seems it's been fixed for Plasma 6.5.0.

Feel free to re-open this if you upgrade to Plasma 6.5.0 and the issue is still present, though. In that case, it will need a more thorough investigation to figure out what's different about your system and ours.

Great, hopefully it has been fixed in version 6.5!
Please could you also watch the video I uploaded and let me know if this is a Plasma bug or not? Thank you.

Ahh, you meant the custom color fields in the dialog itself, not the custom color field on the Colors page.

I can reproduce that. It's sort of a complex issue. I'll set up some Bugzilla scaffolding around it.

Thanks for checking it out mate! I think it's useful to have some colors saved for certain themes or wallpapers.
