Okteta with Breeze Dark
Comment 2 Friedrich W. H. Kossebau 2021-09-01 16:34:38 UTC
Thanks for the report. Just, Okteta uses the system color palette and tries to make use of the color semantics as close as possible. So far that worked out.

See e.g. the screenshot when using Okteta with the Breeze Dark color scheme.

It seems that the platform integration on your system injects colors while badly matching semantics at least to those known from Qt & KDE color palette ones.

That will be hard to come by and surely also affects some other Qt-based applications? The name of your screenshot includes the name "Deepin", so you might want to contact them to improve their Qt platform integration plugin poissibly, which also might involve the color palette mapping.

The only reason why the screenshot is named deepin is because i'm using Deepin Screentshot. it has nothing to do with the issue.

So far i've tried all dark themes that were available by default and none of them solve the problem

So much for bad guessing :) So what is your environment then?

The environment usually is used by Qt internals to decide which Qt platform adaption plugin (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qpa.html) is used. And that one also brings the theme adaption, which includes system palette mapping to the Qt one (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qpalette.html). Or it could be the widget theme which does a poor job on picking from the palette.

In any case, nothing which is in control of Okteta, which completely relies on system color themes and Qt defaults. And something which would affect any other Qt-based application which does the same (and usually done for consistency).

So this needs to be solved by those maintaining integration of Qt-based apps, even more as Qt went some extra miles to make integration smooth. Of course fails if the adaption plugin itself is badly done/configured.

So please file this bug with Manjaro for their Qt apps integration for the environment you are using there.

Alright. This is an issue with XFCE then i guess?
(I'm running manjaro xfce)
Comment 6 hexile461 2021-09-02 14:14:06 UTC
I forgot to add that; Okteta is the only application that i've observed this issue in.
