Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux This is a problem I've been having with kde trunk since about 1 month ago: Some UI text, at least the text of the menu-bar in KDE applications, is (wrongly!) using the "Tooltip background" color. So I'm getting blue-gray text on the gray background -- not very readable! Workaround consists in changing the "Tooltip backgroud" color to black, in the colors KCM. Of course this is with a fresh $KDEHOME. Is there some other (xdg something) config dir that I should try emptying?
I get the correct color (or at least, pretty sure I don't get tooltip text color) with kwrite and oxygen style. My offhand guess is this is a style bug. What style are you using? Are all KDE applications affected? Does the problem occur with other widget styles? Also, what version of Qt are you using?
As I said this is with a fresh $KDEHOME, so all settings are the default: Oxygen widget style, Oxygen color theme. All KDE/trunk applications are affected. Qt is 4.4.0 from qt-copy r812497. Good idea about trying other widget styles: indeed, only the Oxygen widget style has that problem. With any other widget style I tried, the problem doesn't exist.
Odd that I don't see it, maybe it was introduced in a newer build than I have... Anyway, reassigning to oxygen.
Do you still have this problem. I can't really do anything about it as i don't have it myself
I haven't done svn up since last time, will update you when I do.
Re-confirmed with revision 827100 with empty $KDEHOME. Plain-Qt4 apps have a similar problem but with a different color (white versus light blue). It looks like i marked it as "resolved worksforme"?? That was a mistake, sorry. Reopening.
Strange, the "KDE Wallet Manager" also uses white color.
I'm soon going to close this as I believe it's a local problem. But first let's try to help you a bit. In fact i think debian had some problems like this caused by some configuration directories in the wrong order causing configurations to be picked up in some wrong order and being wrong. I hope this can help you to resolve your issue.
OK, you can go ahead an close. Since I'm the only person affected, it has to somehow be a local problem. I am using Kubuntu so it's not impossible that I am affected by a Debian problem or that Kubuntu has similar problems of its own. Also since my KDE is completely self compiled I may have introduced problems of my own.
closing as agreed
