"@deprecated since 5.0, This used to export the color of the titlebar. If you wanted to query the color of the window background, use KColorScheme(QPalette::Active, KColorScheme::Window).foreground(KColorScheme::ActiveText).color(), otherwise please read the setting from <where it's moved> directly"?

The function so far handed the color of the titlebar, now it hands the color of the window.

a) this has been wrong so far (as you suggest):
   then this fixes an unrelated present bug - i personally don't mid too much, but it's still an unrelated bug ;P
b) this has been correct so far:
   then this introduces a behavioral change, implying titlebar color == window color, which is either intentionally unrelated (only relation being the opportunity) or unintentionally, ie. the change in reaction to the deprecation is wrong and accidentally alters behavior.

To recap my worries and position on this topic:
   If there shall be a global alignment of "titlebar color == window background color" (with the freedom of single decorations to deviate, of course) I want that decision explicitly *taken* and not somehow implied - to avoid any sequel to that oxygen/ozone kindergarten session.
