Do you mind attaching some screenshots? Neither LibreOffice nor Firefox are KDE applications. Are you saying that if you configure dark colors in GNOME, that LibreOffice works differently than when you use dark colors in KDE? Created attachment 78068 [details]

No, I only said that many applications take ugly colors from KDE color theme and make it unreadable or very ugly. Its the same using Konqueror, Firefox, Operar or another. In GNOME if we use dark colors the applications take dark colors too, but we don't must speak about GNOME in KDE.... I'm interested in KDE fixing. Thank you very much. To understand you correctly, you want Firefox to ignore users' color preferences, and start using hard-coded colors, just because many websites do the same?

Yes, Firefox, Opera and other web browsers must ignore the color theme preferences in form imputs, textareas and buttons. Other applications have similar problems when using dark themes in KDE. I still do not understand how this is KDE related. If you want browsers not to respect the color settings, you should report it to the developers of those browsers. Can you clarify what KDE developers should do with this entry? Hi, Purupuputa is true. The problem is the same in reconq, which is the default KDE web browser. If you are using a dark theme, edit background and text are about the same colors, so every text zone become unusable, and there is no way to change this. Regards Other QT apps seems to be affected too : http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?t=8749 Well, since this problem is still lurking around, I would like to point out that it seems the problem is related to kde and oxygen-gtk at two situations: - KDE application using "Window text"/"Window background" on panels and decorations that need some input - when this happens an input field is created and on that cases "View text"/"View background" should be used. It happens, for example, in dolphin when you try to rename a folder and click on folders panel to do it, the color of input text is not set to "View text" color, as it should, but the background is set to "View background". This happens on other KDE applications too. I think it would be wise to have the proper behavior specified on some place; - oxygen-gtk is returning "Window text"/"View background" when asked about the colors of client windows on cases where exist an input field there, it should be "View text"/"View background", it seems. I will create a patch to try to correct this behavior to see if an easy fix is possible. Best regards, André I also can confirm that problem is still exists. For, example, drop-down list box in default kde 5 apps (such as desktop wallaper settings) is unusable with dark themes (breeze-dark, for example) due to wrong colors. http://i.imgur.com/LdHl6sG.png Alexey, please report Plasma 5 bugs separately for product "plasmashell".

In wallpaper settings, we have white text on white background in the choice lists when dark themes are used. Please report color issues separately. |
