Okteta 0.26.16 with Breeze Dark

Thanks for the report (even though I do not do flatpaks, someone else but I can not even tell who). Are you sure about 0.26.4? That would be a very old version (from 2020).

What  I can tell  is that when using Okteta of the current latest released version, using Breeze Dark things look like this attched screenshot to me when it comes to colors.

Comment 2 Friedrich W. H. Kossebau 2024-08-13 15:24:27 UTC

Looking further, seems this "flatpak" (is it really?) package of Okteta might be the one from Fedora 40 repos, by how I interpret https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/okteta? 

Please file the bug with the Fedora package then first, there have been 12 patch/bug fix releases meanwhile since 2020. One would have expected that bug fix releases (done for a reason) are picked up also with Fedora, like other distributions do? 0.26.4 sadly cannot be supported by upstream, only the latest versions.

I currently can also not recall related issues, so would first need to investigate, for which there is no extra time.

If the issue still exists with the current latest patch release version of Okteta (0.26.16), please reopen this bug report.

It appears that discover was installing an old version from flathub. I installed it using `flatpak install flathub org.kde.okteta` and the issue is fixed. I will create a bug report with fedora.

Good things work better now for you. Thanks for reporting.
