Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux If you change the color scheme of kde in system settings while kopete is running. the chat styles in kopete don't recognise the new colors until kopete is restarted.
I can confirm that the KHTML KPart inside a chat window does not use the newly set KDE colors; nor will the "Send" pushbutton. Window decorations, menus, tabs, the buddy list, and everything else immediately reflect the change for SVN r823211.
Created attachment 26971 [details] Color scheme is off According to my KDE4 color-scheme, the lower 'input box' font should be white-on-black, not black-on-black. Likewise the color of my sent-messages. This isn't a bad color combo. KDE AND Kopete's color settings contain NO reference to a black font. Kopete just wants to keep my fonts black no matter what.
