Description Fred Leonard 2025-11-02 09:47:24 UTC
Dark Mode not working, inconsistent

SUMMARY
main window comes up blinding white, but clicking on options and sub-menus, dard mode comes in, in pieces.
sometimes the left pane white, and right dark, and sometimes the whole thing dark or white.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open the app (all will be bright white, wear sunglasses)
2. click on file associations (left will be white, right dark)
3. click back and forth between file associations, and default applications, and the right pane flips between white and dark.

OBSERVED RESULT
above

EXPECTED RESULT
consistent dark mode (match the user's interface settings)
(loogging into KDE, and back to Gnome doesn't fix it, and KDE and Gnome are BOTH set in Dark Mode)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
PopOS Gnome with KDE loaded

Windows: 
macOS: 
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version:

Comment 1 Bug Janitor Service 2025-11-02 10:33:41 UTC
Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 5.24.6 no longer receives updates or maintenance from KDE; active versions are 6.4 or newer. Please upgrade to an active version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need help with Plasma 5.24.6, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing help for older releases that are no longer receiving updates from KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
