            Bug ID: 358578
           Summary: Active window taskbar entry background too bright in
                    Breeze Dark theme
           Product: Breeze
           Version: 5.5.3
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: plasma-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: mitchnull+kde at gmail.com

Breeze Dark theme is using the same background setting for taskbar entries as
the default Breeze theme, but the default bright-blue background for active
(focused) windows is too bright on the dark theme (it is like the window wants
"attention", it keeps distracting).  I've modified the tasts.svgz file from the
default breeze theme to only add a blue border to the active (focused) window,
not tint the whole taskbar entry.  Unfortunately placing this file under
/usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/breeze-dark/widgets/ doesn't seem to be enough,
so at the moment I overwrite the default (under 
/usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/default/widgets/).

Please consider changing the breeze-dark tasks.svgz to be a less bright (less
attention-demanding) version.  



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) change plasma theme to Breeze Dark
2) open a window (like a browser)
3) focus the new window

Actual Results:  
the visual feedback for active window in the taskbar with the breeze-dark theme
is too bright, demanding attention

Expected Results:  
the taskbar entry for the window (when it is focused) should provide visual
feedback about being focused, but not be too distracting
