Text colour is doesn't adapt; always white/grey

[DarkBackground]

Hi,
After the recent update to 24.0.0, the app launcher icon text(name) is always white/grey depending on the theme colour, but doesn’t adapt. This is making it hard to read when I visit websites with the opposite background. This also happens when I try to change the audio volume. I cannot see the bar. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Here’s what I’ve tried.

• Multiple themes (both light and dark).
• Running upgrades again. (Not helping).
• Changing the opacity of the panel - (Not able to, always translucent)
  Here’s an image:

To exclude user configs, test if it’s reproducible with a clean new user account.

Thanks for replying. But no, it’s not user config. I created a fresh user and the behaviour is the same.
Is there anyway, I can make this panels opaque? I’ll settle for that.

Do you have “Blur” and “Background Contrast” effects enabled?

If even those two don’t work, try setting your panel to “Opaque”

[DarkBackground]

Yes, Background Contrast and Blur are both enabled.
I tried setting the panel to opaque. But the effect doesn’t work. It always resets to “Translucent”. Everything else changes when I exit the panel, but not the opacity.

Can you switch between X11 and Wayland and see if any difference is noticeable?

If using the Breath global theme, how about trying a switch to Breeze?

Plasma Panel transparance is bugged, stays transparent

This tells me your theme is not compatible with plasma 6 or is otherwise incomplete. Please switch your desktop theme. Breeze as the control. Extra explanation: Those settings correspond to “Opaque”, “Solid” and “Translucent” folders in the plasma desktop theme directory. I just checked and Breath does not have these directories. So it will not function correctly with those plasma panel settings. For some further styles besides the default that I know works with plasma 6 see all the Mace …

Yes! This worked! Thanks a lot. I’m a little disappointed that we have to use X11. But switching is the solution for now. Thanks a lot for helping out a newbie Manjaro person

Tried this. Didn’t help, switching to X11 worked.

This is your plasma style.
Use breeze (or something else updated and complete) and it will work.

I find this rather difficult to believe at least as an answer to this part of the query.
(number 3 in the opening post)
This functionality simply will not be provided by a theme that lacks the correct directories.
Breath is one such theme.
