SUMMARY Krohnkite tiling script recommends to set window borders color with the following config line in ~/.config/kdeglobals: ``` [WM] frame=61,174,233 inactiveFrame=239,240,241 ``` However, with the recent color schemes, this approach does not work. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set the color scheme to Breeze 2. Set the window borders to normal 3. Add frame color lines to kdeglobals: ``` kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kdeglobals --group WM --key frame 61,174,233 kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kdeglobals --group WM --key inactiveFrame 239,240,241 ``` 4. Restart KWin OBSERVED RESULT Window borders are grey. EXPECTED RESULT Window borders are blue.

*** Bug 448914 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Can reproduce, seems like it affects all color schemes, not just header-color-using color schemes.
