Created attachment 150716 [details] Screenshot SUMMARY A minor issue with accent coloring in 5.25.3: When opening the application menu, the toolbar will change to the inactive color even if you're still on the active window. This looks ugly and inconsistent. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Make sure in the Window Decoration settings you added the "application menu" icon to KWin, otherwise you'll get the classic menu bar which doesn't seem to have this issue. Also that you're using a color scheme which colorizes the toolbar with the accent color. 2. Open an application like Dolphin or Kate. 3. Click on the application icon in the window title. OBSERVED RESULT The toolbar switches to the inactive coloring while the menu is open, even if the window is still active and the titlebar still accurately represents the active color. EXPECTED RESULT The toolbar should maintain the active colorization as you haven't deselected the window. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0 Qt Version: 5.15.5 Kernel Version: 5.18.12-3-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 570 Series
This bug is already fixed on Wayland, but unfortunately is not fixable on X11 due to the fundamental nature of X11: Technically, the menu is a window, and so when that "window" becomes active, the app window can't also be active, so it reports an inactive status to the rest of the system. There is no practical way to fix this without X11 changes that are probably not forthcoming; better to use Wayland instead.
