Description whatifgodwasoneofus 2024-05-28 19:23:25 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set the desktop's them to Breeze Dark
2. open Akregator, select a feed's article

OBSERVED RESULT
The article content is NOT rendered using the dark theme.

EXPECTED RESULT
The article content must be rendered using the dark theme.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5
KDE Frameworks Version:  6.2.0
Qt Version: 6.7.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If I launch akregator forcing the dark mode via QT Web Engine env var, it works as expected:
```
QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--blink-settings=darkModeEnabled=default" akregator
```
However, it should work without this hack. My desktop theme changes during the day (via koi), and I'd like to enjoy this feature "dynamically".

This is a long-awaited feature for akregator, which is available starting from v6.1.5 (24.05.0). Maybe it has not been thoroughly tested on all platforms?

Sorry, the correct cmdline for the workaround is:
QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--blink-settings=darkModeEnabled=true" akregator

same issue here:

Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240531
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0
Qt Version: 6.7.1
Kernel Version: 6.9.3-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

Even if I run the hack shared, it doesn't works. I get this message:
