Does the same issue happen when you use the "Breeze" Plasma theme (not Breeze dark or Breeze Light) and the "Breeze" icon theme (not Breeze Dark or a 3rd-party icon theme)?

With those, I cannot reproduce the issue.

> Does the same issue happen when you use the "Breeze" Plasma theme

breeze is a light theme. why should i teste an issue related to a dark theme with a white theme? 
but just to let you know that i do not have any trouble with breeze theme (as light & dark) + breeze icones (not Breeze dark or a 3rd-party icon theme) 


this issue is still there when i use  Breeze dark +  "Breeze" icon theme (not Breeze Dark or a 3rd-party icon theme).
ma default theme is the one from endeavoursos (dark) and breeze (light) + papirus (dark/light) as icones theme

Comment 6 Cherkah 2024-09-20 11:24:55 UTC
regarding the bugs I have news.
in settings > appearance I use the appearance "transparent with black character color".
In "light color" mode no problem but in "dark color" mode the black characters on a dark background impossible to distinguish the characters + icons with the background of the plasmoid.
however if I change the appearance with "transparent with white character color" in "dark color" mode then no problem.

So in summary the Note plasmoid does not switch between the 2 transparent appearances (dark characters + icons <-> light characters + icons) when I change the color of the desktop (light <-> dark)

Comment 8 Cherkah 2024-10-13 13:08:18 UTC
hi, even after the 6.2 update, noting change.
Comment 9 Nate Graham 2024-10-13 14:44:23 UTC
I would assume so, because the bug report is still open and marked as confirmed.
Comment 10 Cherkah 2025-11-01 17:03:52 UTC
ok with kde plasma 6.5.1 it looks that this "bugs" is resolved.
thanks
