Created attachment 72349 [details] A screenshot of how it looks like Since the 2.1 version of Dolphin the text color used in place panel is the same as the one used in display window. So basically the problem is that we can no more read the text if we're using a dark color scheme.
Thanks for the bug report! Which color scheme do you use?
(In reply to comment #1) > Thanks for the bug report! Which color scheme do you use? I'm using the homemade 'Wrath of the Muffin King' but the bug apply to all dark color scheme with white display color (and so black display text)
Thanks for the quick reply. I have to admit that I'm not familiar with color scheme settings. I tried the dark schemes which are pre-installed here, and those work fine. So I just experimented a bit and could reproduce this, but only with settings which make the entire desktop unusable. If you can provide detailed information about the settings required to reproduce this, that would be very helpful. Thanks.
Created attachment 72413 [details] where dolphin fail with the color scheme
Steps to reproduce: -White color for view background -Black color(something dark) for view text -Black color(something dark) for window background -Window text in white(which is normal if we want to read on a dark window background) Problem: dolphin 2.1 will use the view text color instead of the window text color in dolphin place. ===> unable to read what is write in places
Thanks for the detailed description! I can confirm that this makes the text in the Places Panel impossible to read (but not in the old Places Panel implementation).
Try setting foregroundRole() to QPalette::WindowText

Thanks, only the headlines (that say "Places" etc.) still use the View Text color.
Created attachment 73145 [details] Fixes the wrong text color in places group header Fix wrong text color in Places Group Header. Use QPalette::Window for base color and QPalette::WindowText for text color. Also changed m_roleColor color mixing to 60% (from 70%) -> Better visible color difference when base color is darker than text color.
Thanks for the new patch! Looks good, just two small questions: a) Maybe replacing styleOption().palette.brush(group, normalBaseColorPalette()).color() by styleOption().palette.color(group, normalBaseColorPalette()) would be slightly easier and more efficient? Or is there a reason why the brush is needed? b) One could rename normal*ColorPalette() to normal*ColorRole() because these functions return a color role rather than a palette. But maybe that's a matter of taste ;-) (In reply to comment #10) > I'm not allowed to change the bug status to resolved. Can you please do it > for me?
