Created attachment 47816 [details] Screenshot of Digikam's menu with unreadable text in Ubuntu 10.04 Version: 1.2.0 (using KDE 4.4.2) OS: Linux In Ubuntu 10.04 I have the same issue reported by Dicusar (on Windows) in ticket #240148: changing to a theme with a dark background (e.g. Dessert, DLR, Dark), the text in the menu bar at the top becomes unreadable (dark text on dark background), see attachment. I have tried to create a new theme with a lighter text colour for the menu, but TextRegularColor, TextSelectedColor, TextSpecialRegularColor and TextSpecialSelectedColor have no effect on that. How do we change it? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1) Launch Digikam 2) Select SETTINGS ->THEMES -> DLR 3) Try to read the text next to the icons for NEW, PROPERTIES, SEARCH, VIEW, EDIT, and any other on the same line of the menu. Actual Results: The text alongside the icons is black on dark background, very hard to read (at least for me and, I guess, for the user who created #240148). Expected Results: I'd expect to be able to change the colour of the menu's text by editing the available themes or by creating a new one. DigiKam's themes XML specifications should include an XML tag for this, e.g. TextMenuColor. Side note: the theme editor mentioned at http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/26 seems to have disappeared...
You don't need theme editor in fact. theme are simple XML files. I recommend to change KDE color scheme to see if problem come there. I cannot reproduce the problem on my system. Gilles Caulier
Gilles, Thanks for the ultra-prompt reply. Not a life-or-death issue, slow down... ;) (the tagging issue - #237452 - is a lot more serious, it's a show-stopper, at least for me). > I recommend to change KDE color scheme to see if problem come there. I appreciate your advice, but the only colour schemes that I appreciate have a dark background, and they all suffer from the same issue: dark text on dark background, which makes the text unreadable. > I cannot reproduce the problem on my system. But have you seen the screenshot and the other request on the same issue (#240148)? Can you read the text? > You don't need theme editor in fact. theme are simple XML files. I know these are XML files, and I have already edited them, but the DigiKam website says there's a theme editor, and instead there isn't, apparently. However, working on the XML files does not fix the problem, since there seems to be no selector/tag to alter the colour of the menu text. Is there a way to change the colour of that text (indicated by the orange arrows in my screenshot)?
rather annoying problem Expecting a solution soon regards
Git commit e55f3d748f461f2f1ac956995d644de658200a4a by Gilles Caulier. Committed on 07/04/2011 at 14:11. Pushed by cgilles into branch 'master'. port digiKam theme engine to KDE color Theme engine. Now, there is no mix between digiKam color engine and KDE theme used in background. Benefits : we can donload new color theme scheme from KDE control center and apply it to digiKam as well, independently of the rest of KDE. To end users : I don't tested under Gnome. Please give me a feedback...
