Description Hans-Peter Jansen 2016-07-19 15:22:24 UTC

Try attached color scheme, it's a little different to many others, but looks but ugly with a background gradient enabled (KDE:contrast != 0) 
Unfortunately, the oxygen bindings in KF5 ignore this setting, and use a background gradient, which looks very different to KDE4.
While at it, the menu background is different, too (white in KF5, while gold in KDE4)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. throw LISAGold.colors into $KDEHOME/.share/apps/color-schemes
2. enable LISA-Gold in systemsettings
3. switch to oxygen in KDE4 (and KF5)
4. install a KF5 app, and check the difference

Color scheme

Comment 2 Hugo Pereira Da Costa 2016-07-20 13:08:57 UTC

Hello,
first: thanks for reporting ! 
second: could you post screenshot of your favorite application with and without the bug ? 
(or: how it looks with kf5 and how with kde4) ? 
That would help me check 
- if I can reproduce
- and how to debug
Thanks ! 

Hugo

That's oxygen in KF5 with my theme

Note the gradient, that is deactivated (contrast=0) in the color scheme

That's my theme with breeze

Apart from the UI item look, breeze get's it correctly (but doesn't support a background gradient anyway, hance it cannot have that problem...)

This it my theme with oxygen in KDE4

Again, no gradient...

Comment 6 Hans-Peter Jansen 2016-07-20 14:15:09 UTC

Thank you, Hugo for looking into it.. 

It's a pleasure for me to provide any necessary detail, that helps you to understand this issue!

Please note, that I'm away for a couple of days on Friday with very limited internet access.

Comment 7 Hugo Pereira Da Costa 2016-07-20 14:28:56 UTC

Hello,
did you try, in systemsetting5 (the version for kf5) to set the contrast to zero ? 
By default I get the same as your screenshot from comment 3, but then if I set the contrast to zero (from systemsetting5, and not the kde4 version), then I get something that is similar to that posted in comment 5 (your kde4 screenshot).

Hmm, my systemssettings5 is pretty empty...

Any idea, how that package could be named, that I'm missing?

Comment 9 Hans-Peter Jansen 2016-07-20 17:08:30 UTC

Here's the KF5 repo, I'm using:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/KDE:Frameworks5

Comment 10 Hans-Peter Jansen 2016-07-20 17:36:39 UTC

Ahh, most probably, it's in plasma5-workspace, but that cannot be installed without deinstalling my KDE4 desktop. Will try that in a VM after holidays. 

Thank you, Hugo, much appreciated!

Problem is solved long ago, and KDE4 is on its way to the happy hunting grounds.
