Not sure if it was intended or not - hence raising the issue.

With the changes to the cassiopeia teamplate in #45624 by @drmenzelit the default out of the box display of cassiopeia is different in j6 to j4 and j5

The reason for this is that the new setting in the template style "Enable Advanced Colour Settings" is enabled by default on new installs and the default colours used with this enabled are different to the default colours used without this.

If you disable the advanced colour settings then you get the old colours etc

It was intended to have the new settings activated by default in new installations. If that is a problem, it can be changed.

Unfortunately we don't have a label "surprise" yet. :-)

Can the issue be closed now as it's clarified?

I'm still a bit torn. Perhaps it would be better if we kept the blue after installation and then made your styles activatable.
The colour style can certainly look chic, but without content, when a page is newly installed...
I find the Cassiopeia brand in the header too inconspicuous and then somehow the button too garish on an otherwise white page.

It's all a matter of taste, I know, but maybe a few more opinions will come in.
Thank you for your work! 💚 With a little bit more content and if it fits the site, I can definitely see it working well.
