Even if the choice to follow the text color was made by MX Themes creator I
don't want to be dependent on it. I want to be able to download a theme from
kde-look and be able to modify to my preference. And for this I need to have
options and options must be described in techbase guidelines. I gave it only as
an example but during a next few years period of Plasma 5 existence (until
Plasma 6) I will change themes and wallpapers dozens of times. So, don't focus
on this particular example. I could easily find an example of wallpaper that
is white and make text in task manager with this theme become invisible. Now I
am forced to match wallpaper to theme. And that's the problem. I want to be
able to adjust text of task manager every time I change wallpaper, and that may
be whenever I want, even every week. Again don't focus on this particular
wallpaper but understand the problem of lack of options.
> Since there already exists an option in desktop theme to follow or NOT
follow the colour of text set by colour theme, this is a non issue. (Change
theme to Oxygen, change to some coloured text for the colour theme and observe
that the theme does NOT change colour of text). So the choice to follow the
text colour was made by MX Themes creator.
This is not the same as set color for task manager text independent from theme,
widget color or whatever. What if I change this theme so that it doesn't follow
the color of text set by color theme. What color would task manager follow
then and why it is not clearly explained in techbase guidelines?

As a user I don't want to be dependent on what theme author finds looks good or
what is your opinion about what looks good or bad. I don't want to change
widget text because for other widgets it may suit me fine.

What if I want to use other themes that are made the same? Well, that's
hypothetical question, I have not checked every theme.
I don't understand what you mean by elegant solution. I need an easy solution.
If this theme is broken I don't want to be forced to beg theme author to fix
it. I want to be able to do it myself in the easiest possible way, which is
adjust color of text of task manager.
What I request is options in configuration file and an easy to understand
description in techbase so that every user can download theme from kde-look and
adjust it to his/her preference or even mix different elements from different
themes (for example to mix icons).
