Version: (using KDE 4.1.0) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux KDE 4.1 Theme: Oxygen Color Scheme: Black makes search bars in FIREFOX turn black, rendering text almost impossible to read.. Printing with CUPS shows the same symptoms far severe though. Printing documentnts from google is a no no. typo
Ah... huh? > "KDE 4.1 Theme: Oxygen Color Scheme: Black" Is this a plasma theme? A color in the default color scheme? The "Zion Reversed" color scheme? > search bars in FIREFOX turn black I think a screenshot would be helpful, though at face value this sounds like a Firefox bug. > Printing with CUPS shows the same symptoms far severe though. Again, "huh?". What symptoms? What does printing have to do with the UI color scheme? > Printing documentnts from google is a no no. What does this have to do with KDE? > typo ???
Its the default oxygen theme using "obisidan coast" color scheme. Screenshot as you requested: http://www.imagebam.com/image/1ff64b10330855 NOTE: it looks far worse on other pages. What I meant about CUPS is that if/when print out images/text etc from firefox some of the search bars or words gets "black" (unreadable). It's easier if you check the screenshot I posted. What does this have to do with KDE? Eh.. I have no clue to be honest I probably picked the wrong bug request application form as well, but since I couldn't locate firefox from the list or search I figuered "Qt" would be a better option, I guess thats wrong? All i know is that oxygen+black color scheme renders firefox almost impossible to use, especially if you print anything,since the black color hides everything.
This is not a KDE bug. Firefox uses the Gtk+ colour scheme that you applied when setting the KDE/Qt colour scheme to work with non-KDE apps in the control panel unconditionally, which is wrong. Web page elements should use a sane style sheet instead of the toolkit colours. Take this bug up with https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ since they aren't setting a sane element colour scheme for pages.
Closing, not a KDE bug.
> they aren't setting a sane element colour scheme for pages. Konq uses system colors for widgets; there's nothing wrong with that EXCEPT when web designers start specifying foregrounds without backgrounds (or vice versa). Of course, if FF isn't using the color scheme correctly, that's still a bug (though, as mentioned, not a KDE bug). Question: FF uses a default color for list alternate, is that because there is no list alternate color in the X colors, or are we failing to set it?
I'm not sure. Far as I know, Firefox should honour anything that you pass it via the Gtk+ colour settings. We very well might not be exporting the proper extra colour definitions for alternate list items.
