Tab bar text not fading

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to System Settings > Colors
2. Edit the current color scheme
3. Check "Apply Inactive window effects"
4. Go to the "inactive" tab, change "Contrast" to "Fade" and move the slider a ways to the right
5. Open Konsole and add more tabs


OBSERVED RESULT
The tabs' text does not fade when the window becomes inactive


EXPECTED RESULT
The text should fade


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is a blocker for https://phabricator.kde.org/T10201

The fading effect works with standard Qt tab bars in Dolphin and Okular, so I think it's an issue specific to Konsole rather than a generic issue with applying the effect to a QTabBar.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Everything from git master

This is probably caused by the CSS feature (which was used to colorize tab texts depending on state).

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2021-03-12 22:27:58 UTC

Yep, you're right: it's the custom stylesheet for the tabs, which breaks various other things too, such as re-drawing dynamically in response to color and font changes.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-10-24 14:12:39 UTC

Fixed by porting away from the use of a Qt stylesheet.
