Does it work better if you change the style/colors from Settings menu? (In reply to Waqar Ahmed from comment #2) > Does it work better if you change the style/colors from Settings menu? Nope, same problems when manually setting the theme to Breeze Dark. I think that only works properly with this fix https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kiconthemes/-/commit/df1e75fc8a248040235ac1412e0bf6c55bff2a9f And that is only in Frameworks 6.8 and upwards. Fixed as of Clear Linux build 42870. (May have been earlier, I just noticed now.) Presumably the aforementioned upstream fix made its way to a distribution release. For posterity, here is the working version information: Kate: 24.12.1 Linux: 6.12.8-1530.native Clear Linux (Build 42870) GNOME 47 KDE Frameworks: 6.10.0 Qt: Using 6.8.0 and built against 6.8.0 Wayland Created attachment 177510 [details]

Created attachment 176993 [details] A screenshot of the launch view of kate, showing some of the outlined issues. SUMMARY When setting dark mode in the gnome settings, Kate attempts to follow the system theme but does not do so properly. In particular, some text is set as black on a dark background, while other boxes remain entirely white. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set appearance to dark in gnome settings 2. Set Kate to follow system theme OBSERVED RESULT Text is discolored and some boxes are white. EXPECTED RESULT No black text on grey backgrounds, no white boxes that don't match the rest of the theming.
