    Just what title says. Power button keeps on cycling between different colours to reach both colours selected in theme when on AC power and then the cycle repeats. This stops when on battery. This starts as soon as I press power button to start system. The light doesn't even turn off even after shutdown until I unplug the AC source.

    Is there any fix for this? Its very irritating.

    Edit:
    Uninstalling ACC after Going Dark > Reinstalling > Shut Down > Boot.
    That fixed the issue.

    This reoccurred. Again fixed by reinstalling ACC. I am beginning to believe that its a software issue.

    It seems like it is. Did you install anything recently?

    This keeps on reoccuring. Reinstalling ACC doesn't fix it anymore. The change occurs right when I try to boot. Worked OK before shutdown. Currently put both my on power and on battery colour to blue. This keeps a constant blue. If two colours are different then it keeps on fluctuating.
