Description Brian Foddy 2001-06-04 14:19:00 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           unknown
Version:           KDE 2.1.1 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Other
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Solaris
OS/Compiler notes: Solaris 2.8 using package distribution

Nedit reports the following error indicating standard color and font resources are not defined in the window environment:

Color name "BACKGROUND" is not defined
    Cannot parse default background color spec
Color name "FOREGROUND" is not definedCannot convert string "FONTLIST" to type FontStructColor name
"WINDOW_BACKGROUND" is not definedColor name "WINDOW_FOREGROUND" is not definedColor name "SELECT_FOREGROUND" is not definedColor name "SELECT_BACKGROUND" is not defined

The result is Nedit starts but has
no background colors fonts look bad in general it looks terrible.

Nedit worked fine on the same machine in KDE 1.1 works fine in CDE and GNOME.  Only showed up immediately after loading KDE 2.1.1.

This but needs reporting but I would also like to know if/how its possible to manually work around this by defining these resources somewhere so I don't have to wait for a bug fix release.

To work around this bug disable "Apply KDE colors to non-kde applications" in the Colors 
control center.
