Description

When using the desaturate-all applet on Brave Browser, the desaturate effect is not applied to the content (links/hyperlinks) inside bookmark folders. The rest of the browser window desaturates correctly — only the items rendered inside an open bookmark folder/dropdown remain in full color.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Enable the desaturate-all applet in Cinnamon.
  2. Open Brave Browser.
  3. Click on a bookmarks folder in the bookmarks bar (or the bookmarks menu) to expand it and see the list of hyperlinks inside.
  4. Observe that the links inside the folder remain in full color, while the rest of the browser is desaturated.

Expected Behavior

All content visible in the Brave browser window — including links inside open bookmark folders — should be desaturated consistently.

Actual Behavior

Links/hyperlinks rendered inside bookmark folders are not affected by the desaturate effect. The rest of the browser UI is desaturated as expected.

Environment

  • Desktop: Cinnamon (Linux)
  • Browser: Brave
  • Applet: desaturate-all@hkoosha

Additional Notes

This may be related to how Brave renders bookmark folder dropdowns (possibly as a separate overlay/surface or out-of-process window), which could prevent the applet's effect from being applied to that specific element.
