Bug ID: 457861
Summary: Wallpaper accent color sometimes has bad contrast on
Breeze Dark.
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.25.4
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_colors

Poor contrast on the highlighed items.
SUMMARY
The current implementation of the wallpaper-generated accent color does not
account for dark color schemes. Depending on the wallpaper, the
automatically-chosen accent color may appear to dark to see. It would
blend-into the background of the color theme, so highlighted/selected
buttons/sliders are not legible in Plasma. The 'hyperlink text' that one would
find in Spectacle, when you save a screenshot, would also be completely
illegible.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select the default, unmodified Breeze Dark color theme or Global Theme.
2. Select the 'From Wallpaper' option in the Colors KCM.
3. Cycle to a dark wallpaper.
4. Open the Application Launcher (Kick-off)
OBSERVED RESULT
With the wallpaper's accent color applied on Breeze Dark, highlighted/selected
buttons/sliders are not legible in Plasma, and "Hyperlink Text" is either too
dark or invisible due to poor contrast.
EXPECTED RESULT
The accent colors are bright enough to stand-out, when using Breeze Dark or
another similarly dark color-scheme.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I would submit a screenshot of the bug in action, as well as some of the
offending wallpapers that trigger this behavior. Unfortunately, I couldn't get
a screenshot of Spectacle, it hides before the shot.
I have seen these two bug reports, but I don't believe they are the same to the
current one.
