It works pretty well for Qt apps though. They just theme the titlebar and some things like fonts.
I don't want every app to have a different look or 'brand' as that page says. I want my system to be consistent.

I run KDE, and Telegram, a native Qt app, has an invisible icon if you have a dark taskbar (the default).
Theming sucks even when you keep the default look. I bet that since many Linux users use custom themes, app developers just give up and don’t even test the default combination.
Hmm yeah but that's a problem with telegram really. The taskbar can be dark without any theming. Even the standard Breeze has a dark option. They just have to supply both versions.
the last version of plasma is here to prove your wrong.
open the color panel and tick the option "tint window title bar with accent color"... which used to be just the window decorator title and borders. ... now some dev wanting to post screenshots on Reddit decided the accent color should be a light pastel tone that can be applied to the top elements of the qt application, bringing back the worst of gnome 2 era.
I'm pretty sure I have that option turned on. I love the accent colour option (2 years ago in the anniversary release of plasma 5 I think) but it's only recent so not all apps have incorporated it yet.
But I don't really understand what goes wrong there.
if you like your dolphin header, location bar, most buttons etc, with the same high contrast color you use for window titles, enjoy.
i personally think wm fiddlin with application content absurd.
