Description Marie Kalouguine 2023-05-15 12:47:43 UTC 
SUMMARY
The "code browser" view stays black-on-white, independently of the global kdevelop color theme. Same with tooltip view, which seems to be the same HTML inclusion. This may not seem very important, but that white background is quite aggressive to the eyes, in the middle of a breeze-dark environment.

I saw this issue discussed a few years ago on reddit, saying that this color theme is currently hard-coded in HTML (legacy code apparently), but there is no follow-up: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/a6zmrf/kdevelop_change_tooltip_and_code_browser_color/

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open kdevelop settings
2. Set color theme to "Breeze Dark"
3. Open Code Browser or Tooltip View by clicking on a variable or function in C code

OBSERVED RESULT
The opened view appears on white background, contrasting with the rest of the IDE

EXPECTED RESULT
View color theme follows global color theme, and/or is adjustable manually

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Marie Kalouguine 2023-09-11 14:39:37 UTC 
I don't know when it was fixed exactly, but on Kubuntu 22.04 you can install version 5.11.230403 (23.04.3) of Kdevelop via snap (https://snapcraft.io/kdevelop), and the code browser has a dark theme in this one. It looks great, so I'm updating this bug as resolved.
