[Solved]What happened to my background/desktop?

After an update I noticed discover was this weird yellow color, I opened settings and noticed it too was yellow, thinking it was some bug, I restarted PC, now everything is yellow. I tried inverting colors but that is something completely different. I'm not even sure what was updated to cause this.

I'm running mint 21.3 with plasma 5.27.11

  • Looks like your accent color automatically gets chosen from the background. But I didnt know that that many icons have different colors??

    I only know Dolphin changing color

    • My background isn't yellow, it's mountains with a blue sky.

      I believe this might be an issue with an app called redshift that automatically comes with mint, it uses geoclue2 which relies on Mozilla Location Service which got shut down like 2 weeks ago. Maybe it malfunctioned that even uninstalling it doesn't help

      • Ooooh lol! I thought that was your sky color.

        You dont need Redshift, uninstall that. Plasma has its own tool for that.

        Did you do some frankenstein install on top of Mint??

        • Never used redshift only to see what the heck it was.

          I will be honest I didn't know much about kde as only had experience with gnome and cinnamon, when plasma 6 dropped I decided to look into it, and ended up liking it a lot more than cinnamon.. Didn't feel like setting up/downloading things again when distro hopping so I back ported kde from kubuntu.

          • Yes but you messed up your config. KDE has basically everything included so for sure remove Redshift, that may be an issue.

            Even though this looks more like a color inversion.
