Breeze Dark theme is using the same background setting for taskbar entries as the default Breeze theme, but the default bright-blue background for active (focused) windows is too bright on the dark theme (it is like the window wants "attention", it keeps distracting). I've modified the tasts.svgz file from the default breeze theme to only add a blue border to the active (focused) window, not tint the whole taskbar entry. Unfortunately placing this file under /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/breeze-dark/widgets/ doesn't seem to be enough, so at the moment I overwrite the default (under /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/default/widgets/). Please consider changing the breeze-dark tasks.svgz to be a less bright (less attention-demanding) version. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1) change plasma theme to Breeze Dark 2) open a window (like a browser) 3) focus the new window Actual Results: the visual feedback for active window in the taskbar with the breeze-dark theme is too bright, demanding attention Expected Results: the taskbar entry for the window (when it is focused) should provide visual feedback about being focused, but not be too distracting
Created attachment 96848 [details] proposed tasks decortation for breeze-dark theme Feel free to use the attached tasks.svgz if you think it's an improvement for breeze-dark.
Thanks for the report If you could attach a screenshot of it in action, ideally in comparison too, that would be great :)
Created attachment 96855 [details] original (bright blue active window in taskbar)
Created attachment 96856 [details] modified (only the border is blue in taskbar for active window)
I uploaded two screenshots of the same layout (the second konsole is active).
Ok, thanks, good stuff. I'll leave the theme creators to actually decide on it.
I can't reproduce this now as in Breeze Dark the window decorations are both dark.
