Bug Description
Release focal and Groovy:
Version: 5.18.4 and 5.18.5
Discussed with SRU team member here: https:/
[Impact]
As per the upstream bug, the functional button row in the connections manager list inherits the background colour from the current Plasma theme instead of the intended base colour for the chosen application widgets colour scheme.
This results in Kubuntu (and any circumstance where a light app widget and dark plasma theme being chosen) in the button background and icons on them being the same or nearly undistinguishable dark colour.
For a person with good eyesight this makes it hard to distinguish the action icon on the buttons, but for someone with vision issues this is a critical visual interface bug.
[Test Case]
* Right click network icon in system tray, and select configure network connections. Or open systemsettings and navigate to Network > Connections
* The bug will be evident in the connection list.
* Test with a variety of dark or coloured Plasma themes form the system and store.kde.org
[Regression Potential]
* Low as this impacts and the fix applies to a single KCM, and does not more widely impact the general KCM implementation.
* This us tested well upstream for Breeze, and in Groovy for other theme combinations, but it could cause some 3rd party themes that use unusual schemes to not display well in the KCM. However, as this SRU is restoring the intended correct behaviour, such corner cases should fix their issues there.

This is fix upstream with:

This will require the kirigami qml module to be added as a new runtime depend, but this has been agreed as acceptable with the SRU team.
