Proper colors after switching between desktop appearances
Could you tell me the frameworks version you use? See e.g. Help -> About Kate -> Libraries Thanks! - KDE Frameworks 5.73.0 - Qt 5.15.0 (built against 5.15.0) - The xcb windowing system Ok, yes, I can see that. This should be improved in Frameworks 5.75, see https://kate-editor.org/post/2020/2020-09-13-kate-color-themes-5.75/ It seems the issue has not been solved completely. I can't see any change on my system. About Kate says: Kate version 20.12.3 KDE Frameworks 5.81.0 Qt 5.15.2 (built against 5.15.2) The xcb windowing system Any ideas ? If you go to the Kate configuration dialog, what is there set on "Color themes" (there at the bottom) -> "Default theme for kate:"... It should be "Automatic Selection". (In reply to Christoph Cullmann from comment #7) > If you go to the Kate configuration dialog, what is there set on > > "Color themes" (there at the bottom) -> "Default theme for kate:"... > > It should be "Automatic Selection". No, there is not "Automatic Selection" selected. There is my customized color theme selected. If I change the setting to "Automatic Selection" then a different theme gets active. If I select my theme then it is applied properly. Setting the kate specific theme seems to be fine. It seems that the kate specific theme colors have nothing to do with the colors used for the document, project and file names (see left side of screenshot in https://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=131542) The problem are the desktop wide color settings. Kate does not apply them to the document names (on the left) when kate starts. The effect can also be provoked when clicking Settings/Color Theme/default. By the way: in Settings/Color Theme there is only "default", nothing else. Thanks for your great work !

You are using XFCE, and Kate is written in Qt. Your normal desktop themes won't show up here.
There are other ways to change the look and feel of a Qt application, maybe you can try those.

Created attachment 131542 [details] Appearance after start SUMMARY The issues appears with OpenSuse Tumbleweed (latest), windowmanager XFCE, kernel 5.8.4. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set an arbitrary color scheme, except the default schema Adwaita, for the desktop (settings/appearance/style). 2. Start Kate. It starts with the colors as shown in attached kate_schema_1.png. 3. go to desktop appearance and select the default color scheme (Adwaita) for a second. Then switch back to the previous color scheme (in my case Adwaita-dark). Kate displays properly. OBSERVED RESULT On startup kate does not adopt the color scheme as given by the desktop settings. EXPECTED RESULT Kate adopts the color scheme as given by the desktop settings. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/Xfce: 4.14 KDE Plasma Version: none KDE Frameworks Version: none Qt Version: 5.15.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
