--- Comment #5 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
You're welcome!

JFYI our reasoning was that an "average user" doesn't care about this kind of
thing or even consciously notice it, and instead perceives design changes in
broad strokes like "it looks better now" or "it looks worse now." And for what
it's worth, the feedback we've gotten about the unified titlebar/toolbar
appearance has been overwhelmingly positive since we rolled it out two years
ago. At least for Breeze Light. It'sbeen more mixed for Breeze Dark, but people
weren't thrilled with it before, so it's hard to distinguish "it sucks (now)"
from "it's always suchked, but now it sucks in a slightly different way."
Personally I think the way to make our dark color scheme better is to use dark
separator lines, not light ones.

Also JFYI, we didn't preserve a non-Header-color-using dark theme because the
way Breeze Dark used to be was actually much worse than the current one in
terms of distinction between active and inactive windows; there used to be no
difference in titlebar color for active vs inactive windows at all! You used to
have to notice the difference purely due to the lightness of the titlebar text
changing. The current header-color-using Breeze Dark style fixes that.

But there are lots of non-Header-color-using dark themes that do offer adequate
color contract for active vs inactive windows available for easy download for
people who want that.
