            Bug ID: 427825
           Summary: Konsole scroll-bar unusable with a dark background.

Konsole

SUMMARY
At some point it seems it was decided to use the terminal color scheme for the
konsole scrollbar.  https://phabricator.kde.org/D11184  The way this was
implemented leaves huge usability holes.  It seems to use just a darker version
of the background color.  So, if someone has a dark background color (for
example gray text on a black background - common for nighttime coders), the
scrollbar becomes black on black.  It's indecipherable from the surroundings
and downright unusable.  This is a huge regression on something super simple.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Install ubuntu 20.04.  Use konsole with a black background color.

OBSERVED RESULT
Unusable scrollbar since you can't find it.

EXPECTED RESULT
A scrollbar like every other scrollbar in every other KDE app, where I can
configure it in the settings used for scrollbars. 

Or, if some people like this feature, the ability to turn it on or off in the
settings.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Other people have also experienced this and wanted control over this behavior:
