Selected hidden files and folders use standard text color rather than the selected text color used by non-hidden files and photos as shown in the linked image. This can make selected file and folder names unreadable. This also applies to konquerer since both use the same colors Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create or select a color scheme with a dark hilight color and light selected text color 2. Open konqueror or dolphin. 3. Select a non-hidden file or photo and observe text color. 4. Select a hidden file or folder and observe that a different text color is used. Actual Results: "Normal Text" color from the "view" color set is used for selected hidden items Expected Results: Selection text color used for hidden item text as is done with non-hidden items.
3. Select a non-hidden file or folder and observe text color.
Thanks for the bug report! Just for the record: Christoph provided some analysis at https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/106194/
I'm not too sure about the linked comment. It sure seems like the selected hidden item text color is the problem. If I change the value for "normal text" in the "view" color set and restart konqueror or dolphin the selected hidden item's text color changes.
I know, that's why I discarded the review request. You should have stated that you are using the Details view mode.
Please refer to url above for image of described bug.
I can confirm this with dolphin 2.2 and KDE SC 4.10.2, and the wrong (dark) text color for the selected hidden items really only appears in details view.
I guess we should just use the normal "selected text" color for selected hidden items: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/110164/ @Christoph and the others: do you see a problem with this approach? If yes, please let me know.

Use the same text color for selected hidden and non-hidden items This fixes the problem that the names of selected hidden items are unreadable with some color schemes.

Thank you for resolving this. If you use the standard text color for hidden items the selected text color for selected hidden items is the logical choice. Another more detailed resolution would have been to define the hidden text and background colors (defaulting to standard colors if undefined in color scheme). The newly defined colors would make it more obvious to the user they are working with hidden items.
