Step 3. Describe the issue

After the last system update (I'm on CachyOS), the quickshell theme does not change if I try to set it to dark or if I try to change color scheme (Auto, Content, Expressive, etc…). Other things, such as the Firefox theme and the terminal theme, change instead.

P.S. The only thing that I didn't “update” when prompted while updating using illogical impulse script is the mesa package, because I use the git branch.

Reminder

• I agree that it's usually impossible for others to help me without my logs.

Hey there! Mind running ~/.config/quickshell/ii/scripts/colors/switchwall.sh --mode light --noswitch and posting the output log here? Thanks!

This is the output log

I tried to use matugen package from the extra repository rather than the cachyos one, but the error is the same.

[T-hash06]

You can try this:

In the file ~/.config/quickshell/ii/scripts/colors/switchwall.sh, comment out or remove the matugen_args line:

# File: ~/.config/quickshell/ii/scripts/colors/switchwall.sh
switch() {
    imgpath="$1"
    mode_flag="$2"
    type_flag="$3"
    color_flag="$4"
    color="$5"

    # Start Gemini auto-categorization if enabled
    aiStylingEnabled=$(jq -r '.background.clock.cookie.aiStyling' "$SHELL_CONFIG_FILE")
    if [[ "$aiStylingEnabled" == "true" ]]; then
        "$SCRIPT_DIR/../ai/gemini-categorize-wallpaper.sh" "$imgpath" > "$STATE_DIR/user/generated/wallpaper/category.txt" &
    fi

    read scale screenx screeny screensizey < <(hyprctl monitors -j | jq '.[] | select(.focused) | .scale, .x, .y, .height' | xargs)
    cursorposx=$(hyprctl cursorpos -j | jq '.x' 2>/dev/null) || cursorposx=960
    cursorposx=$(bc <<< "scale=0; ($cursorposx - $screenx) * $scale / 1")
    cursorposy=$(hyprctl cursorpos -j | jq '.y' 2>/dev/null) || cursorposy=540
    cursorposy=$(bc <<< "scale=0; ($cursorposy - $screeny) * $scale / 1")
    cursorposy_inverted=$((screensizey - cursorposy))

-    matugen_args=(--source-color-index 0)
+    # matugen_args=(--source-color-index 0) TODO: Check this after #3011 is solved

Then add return at the beginning of the reload() function in the file
~/.local/state/quickshell/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/kde_material_you_colors/utils/kwin_utils.py:

# File: ~/.local/state/quickshell/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/kde_material_you_colors/utils/kwin_utils.py
import logging
import subprocess
import time
import re
import dbus
import dbus.lowlevel
from kde_material_you_colors import settings


def reload():
+   return # TODO: Remove when #3011 is solved
    logging.info("Reloading KWin")

    bus = dbus.SessionBus()
    kwin = dbus.Interface(
        bus.get_object("org.kde.KWin", "/KWin"),
        dbus_interface="org.kde.KWin",
    )
    kwin.reconfigure()


def klassy_update_decoration_color_cache():
    logging.info("Updating Klassy decoration color cache")
    path = "/KlassyDecoration"

hope this helps! That said, this is probably just a workaround rather than a proper fix

[punglist]

Hello, I've had the same issue and the proposed workaround fixed it!
thanks

Hi,
I have the same issue where my light and dark theme won't switch and the colors themes are not changing. I'm looking at the switchwall.sh but i'm unable to find the line matugen_args=(--source-color-index 0)

[T-hash06]

@momoRaza

Weird, maybe you’re using an outdated version of the dotfiles. No worries, could you please run ~/.config/quickshell/ii/scripts/colors/switchwall.sh --mode light --noswitch and paste the command output here?

Could you try adding the return keyword to the file ~/.local/state/quickshell/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/kde_material_you_colors/utils/kwin_utils.py?

# File: ~/.local/state/quickshell/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/kde_material_you_colors/utils/kwin_utils.py

def reload():
+   return # TODO: Remove when #3011 is solved
    logging.info("Reloading KWin")

    bus = dbus.SessionBus()
    kwin = dbus.Interface(
        bus.get_object("org.kde.KWin", "/KWin"),
        dbus_interface="org.kde.KWin",
    )
    kwin.reconfigure()

Hi,
That didn't work :/. I'll try updating the dot files to the latest version and see if that solves the issue. Thanks for looking into this.

Updating to the latest dot files seems to have fixed the issue. Thank you for looking into this.
