Description neurosxboy 2025-11-07 06:54:26 UTC

SUMMARY
In the slideshow wallpaper plugin, the checkboxes on the (default) wallpapers are barely visible on select wallpapers

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Go to desktop wallpaper selector
2.  Change wallpaper type to Slideshow

OBSERVED RESULT
On the wallpapers"Colorful Cups",  "Safe Landing" in breeze light, and "Altai", "Kay". "Colorful Cups", "Safe Landing" (The last two again) in breeze dark, the checkbox is barely visible. Whether the checkbox is visible is subjective, but I believe that the visibility issues with the wallpapers I have listed here are reasonable. 


EXPECTED RESULT
Checkbox the location, and state of the checkbox should be clear to the user (and preferably moderately visible on any wallpaper, because [In my opinion] artists shouldn't have to need to consider the visibility of the checkbox when creating new wallpapers).

I can confirm that some checkboxes have low contrast vs wallpapers and are difficult to see on git-master, with Breeze Light and Dark
This is present on 6.5.2 as well

Also, with wallpapers like Coast that automatically change between dark and light have the circle icon overlap the checkboxes. Both are in the upper right hand corner.
This is a regression from 6.5.2 where the checkboxes are in the upper left corner

The overlap with the dark & light icon has already been resolved with https://invent.kde.org/azosion/plasma-workspace/-/commit/ef9e84e7078e6f3058e5a075358063954a363c0b
