--- Comment #4 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
It was *not* working fine in 5.20.
It may have been working fine for your particular use case due to a random
confluence of factors. But it was broken for many people, and it was broken in
a way that made various apps unusable. For example in certain apps, text was
sometimes the same color as the background, making it unreadable.
We tried various methods of fixing these sorts of issues while preserving the
color-changing feature, but in the end we were unable to. We removed the
feature to prevent people from being able to make some of their apps literally
unusable.
Again, the real solution is for those apps to get ported to GTK3. GTK2 is a
dead toolkit. If these apps cannot be ported because they are abandoned, that's
all the more reason we shouldn't be monkeying with their appearance; we may
break them. And in fact we did. Old unmaintained apps using old unmaintained
toolkits are fragile. The more time goes on, the less well they work as the
world changes around them but they don't adapt. The best way to keep them
usable is to change that world around them as little as possible. This means
not trying to dynamically change their colors.
I know that's not what you wanted to hear, sorry. :)
