### Description

Dolphin doesn't change the color instantly if it's open. When my wallpaper changes as well as the colors, I have to close it and reopen it to see the effect. But on the other hand, Nautilus file manager changes the color instantly. Is this how it supposed to be with Dolphin?

### Solutions Tried

I followed all method mentioned in the documentation including qt6ct-kde package method.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on Arch Linux with Dolphin already open, changing the wallpaper and shell colors through DankMaterialShell. Review the documented qt6ct-kde installation method and compare the behavior with Nautilus. Done means Dolphin reflects the new colors without being closed and reopened.
