SUMMARY *** Editing Breeze Light color theme active titlebar color has no effect *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open systemsettings/appearance/global theme/colors 2. Edit Breeze Light color theme 3. Change active titlebar color to blue 4. Save the color theme as "Breeze Light username" 5. Close and Apply OBSERVED RESULT Active window titlebar color stays grey EXPECTED RESULT Active window titlebar color should've changed to blue SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 37 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.105.0 Qt Version: 5.15.9 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Editing Breeze Classic color theme's active titlebar color works as expected
Breeze Light and Breeze Dark both have Header colors in them. When a color scheme has Header colors in it, its Titlebar active/inactive colors are ignored, and the Header colors are used to create a unified look for the window's entire header area. This is perhaps not the best design, but until it's changed, it's what we have to live with. There are three options: 1. Switch to a color scheme that does not have Header colors (e.g. the old Breeze color scheme, which is still shipped) 2. Remove the Header colors from your current color scheme 3. Create the desired appearance using the Header colors of your current color scheme, by adjusting the Normal/Inactive background colors in the Header section of the color scheme editor If you want to use option #2, I'm afraid the procedure is rather annoying since we were have not yet made it possible via the GUI to remove header colors. Sorry about that. To do this manually, you will need to save a copy of the color scheme, open it at ~/.local/share/color-schemes/[the color scheme] and remove the "Header" sections, then switch to another color scheme in the Colors KCM and back to your now-header-less custom color scheme. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 433059 ***
