I have chosen the "breeze" design, afterwards I like to modify some colors. first thing: i cannot chose another color theme: I choose one, and "apply". but closing the color-settings and reopening, the old one still is selected. second: I try to change the title-bar background-color, and "apply", but nothing happens. here also, after reopening the settings, they are gone. Reproducible: Always
Seems to be reproducible. Note: changing the color scheme works fine. What's broken is changing a single color within a color scheme.
Still valid, using 5.2
Created attachment 91019 [details] SCreenshot of System Settings ignoring color settings I just came here to report the same thing. I'm using the breeze-dark color scheme, and system settings background is still using the colors from breeze-light, while other KDE apps are generally fine. See screenshot.
I should note that I run into this problem, just by changing from one color scheme to another, not just by changing a single color in a pre-existing scheme as noted by Marco.
Kubuntu PPA packages installed over Ubuntu 14.10
does this still happen? seems to not be reproducible anymore
I just upgraded from Ubuntu 14.10 to 15.04 just to run into this. The version of the systemsettings package here is 5.2.2.
OK, just upgraded to 5.3.0 using the backports PPA: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports Now, colors are applied immediately and not only for new windows. :-)
cannot confirm this: the kubuntu 15.04 live iso works fine. after upgrading and installing the backports PPA, color schemes are not applied anymore

Stupid question, probably, but how did you make sure that you're actually running everything from the upgraded version with the live ISO?

(In reply to tim blechmann from comment #12) > fwiw, speculating is rather pointless, it needs to be analyzed properly ... You are correct. This has never happened here.
still an issue with kde frameworks 5.14.0 / kde 15.08 i'm using the builds from the kubuntu-ci ppa
I see this issue occasionally when changing color schemes. Restarting system settings usually fixes it here. Are you seeing the same thing there?

Ok, which version of plasma-desktop do you have and can you give steps to recreate the problem? All color issues I've seen here are fixed by restarting applications or logging out and back in. Also which color schemes are you trying?
(In reply to Jeremy Whiting from comment #17) > Ok, which version of plasma-desktop do you have and can you give steps to > recreate the problem? the one installed via kubuntu-15.04. i've been able to reproduce the same issue on two different machines: * install kubuntu-15.04 (note: color settings seem to work there) * update (apt-get dist-upgrade) (installs the broken version, i've also tried the kubuntu-ci ppas) * select color scheme breeze dark in system settings (preview looks good) * open dolphin (color scheme is applied correctly) * open konsole or kate (color scheme is not applied correctly) it looks like all kde-4 based applications obey the colors, but kde-5 based apps don't (well, only some color roles seem to follow the color scheme) > All color issues I've seen here are fixed by > restarting applications or logging out and back in.
