            Bug ID: 406239
           Summary: Better contrast for selected text
           Product: Oxygen
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist

  Target Milestone: ---

I would like to see better contrast for selected items in Plasma.
To start with, I mean selected folders in Dolphin in the sidebar or in the main
frame.
In Breeze theme you are using a white font on a light-blue background so
selected text is actually worse visible than a usual one.

I believe you have checked some guides and they said that the contrast is fine.
I also didn't find any complaints from other users on the matter (though they
complain on pale fonts).
I also might be advised to use high contrast theme...

But I'm not blind and actually like Breeze theme in each aspect except its
accent color, especially when it is used for text selection.

It's true that the theme is highly customizable in Plasma through the special
GUI,  but there are 2 problems:
1) background color also affects progressbar color so after changing the
former, the latter becomes invisible when selected (selected row in
qbittorrent, for example)
2)There is no GUI for GTK theme so it is needed to change appropriate lines in
a huge file for GTK-theme.

Changing background color for GTK application is extremely important because
most of the problems with selection color I got from Thunderbird and Firefox
where I want to see the text better if I selected it.

Now I'm using #2d82ac as a background color for selections.
It would be nice to have a variant of Breeze with a deeper accent color which
would affect GTK apps too.
