Thank you for this great program !!!

But today I have a little bug report about its usability:
I have selected a bright color scheme for KDE but a dark one for digikam. Now the first menu "layer" (e.g. entries in Album, Import, ...) is dark, which is fine. But the second layer is only correct for some entries, e.g. Configuration -> Themes -> ..., Image -> Metadata -> ... or Export -> Instant Messaging -> ... Other entries are a mixture of both color schemes, e.g. Image -> Rotation -> ..., i.e. the background is bright and the font as well, so one cannot read it at all.

Bernd

Reproducible: Always

This dysfunction is not reproducible with a KDE desktop. Do you use Gnome or another desktop ?

There is no difference between main menu entries and plugged sub-menu entries from Kipi-plugins. All are managed in the same way about GUI color.

Also, check widget style assigned to digiKam. This as influence to colors applied to GUI components. Go to digiKam config dialog and Misc section. You can customize widget style here. Try to use Oxygen which is the default for KDE application.

The widget style was empty! Now it works as expected.

Thanks a lot!
