[SOLVED] Must reboot in order for "colors" changed to take affect ?

andrewysk · 03-11-2021, 03:25 PM

I have changed the inactive color of title bar; pressed "apply" but it the title bar color never change.
After i reboot, then only i see the color change took place.

I was recalling, all linux advocators said "one must restart windows os in order for installation or setting to take effect; linux won't need restart to have it to take effect..."

I must said a lot of thing in linux no reboot required, but suprisingly in order for window title bar color to take effect one must reboot... I am suprised.

I am using Endeavoros plasma.

Is there any way for Colors change to take effect without reboot ?

Thx

Usually a log out and log back in will do it. The other option I usually use is to restart the x server.

How do you do that ?

Code:

$startx

?

On Slackware, hold down Ctrl + Alt and press backspace. Don't know on other distros, you didn't say what you are running.

Also from a root terminal, an init 3 will kill the xserver, restart is with startx.

Yes it logs you out, and closes any open apps. It does not boot the system. You asked how to, without booting.

I'm running Plasma 5.14.5 on Debian Buster and the colours change as soon as I press apply.

If that's not happening for you, it's a bug and you should report it to either KDE or EndeavourOS.
