so i updated my system yesterday and switched to my work os, got back now to my main install and to my surprise colors on desktop, icons, system settings or any app that uses KDE graphics has incorrect shift colors (stuff that is supposed to be red was blue, brown tinged UI elements)
firefox, dolphin havent been affected by this issue, here’s a screenshot of how its looking
not sure what could’ve caused this issue, already tried resetting themes to the default one and rebooting, issues persists, its fixed once i go to wayland.
If you login as a new user does the same issue occur?

Are you using a colour management profile?

yes just tried, its not an user setting thing it seems, seems like last update broken something with x11
checked now and these were the packages upgraded on the last system update
[2024-07-02T00:06:46-0300] [ALPM] upgraded aha (0.5.1-2 → 0.5.1-3)
I haven’t used X11 for some months now, is there any particular reason you need to use it? If not I would just use Wayland but if there is hopefully someone can help you.

i don’t see how using a color profile, no matter how wrong, would invert colors, either way i tried that already.

i’m sorry but i’m not going to entertain that, not helpful or really relevant to my issue.

Your description was a shift in colours, from cooler to warmer. That’s entirely within the realm of colour profiles.
Now if your colours are “inverted”, you mean like the light / dark theme has switched?
You may not see it as useful but KDE is in the process of switching to Wayland as default so I would expect to see more bugs like this going undetected under X11. Just saying and was only trying to help, so bye

again, liked i say on the post, something that was supposed to be red (that dead island 2 icon) is blue, no amount of bad calibration would cause that, its somewhat inverted rather obviously, and as i also mentioned, not all programs suffer from that, like firefox, when i use a color profile everything changes, not just one app… period.

i really don’t think that line of thinking is compatible with the linux philosophy as i’m used to, if something has broken you just switch to something else… no on the contrary, you try to find the issue and fix it.
i’m not going to try and explain why i’m using X11 instead of wayland because i’m trying to figure it out one broken update… for the love of god.

Well, I don’t see anything related to kde in your upgrade list. If you downgrade all packages to the version they were at yesterday. Does that work?

yeah i noticed that too, i just assumed it was kde related… i couldn’t find backups for all of them unfortunately, no idea on what is causing this
