Version: (using KDE 4.4.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Archlinux Packages Amaroks playlist and colloction browser do not follow the kde color settings correctly: The playlists background is painted in "window | normal background" and "view | alternate background". The Text is in "view | Normal text". The alternative background uses the "view | alternate background" color. expected behavior: Amarok should use "window | alternate background" and "window | text" instead. This problem makes amaroks playlist unusable when you tune the color setting to a dark theme but with e.g. the foder list in dolphin or text input fields white like here: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/DarkDefault?content=103455
And what exact Amarok version are you talking about?
i am using amarok 2.2.2-4 from archlinux extra on kde 4.4.1 form kdemod
There has been some work on that since 2.2.2, you should try again with Amarok 2.3, due in about 10 days and report back.
just just cecked out amarok from git, same problem here.
Thank you for the feedback.
To developers: please, rise the bug priority as far as it's a matter of *accessibility*.
Created attachment 42607 [details] image illustrating the bug I have noticed the bug still "isn't confirmed". It seems like votes do not matter. So I have decided to attach a picture to illustrate the bug. On the picture you see awful library tree and play list colors in contrast with "official" (in accordance with color scheme) KDE colors - the window below A2 is a KMail messages list.
Confirmation is not done by votes, but by a second person. If our reaction is not fast enough for you, you are welcome to give a hand in bug triaging.

I have the same bug here. KDE SC 4.4.2, Amarok 2.3-GIT with "Dark Default" as colour scheme.
Same here. With a very dark scheme Amarok is nearly unusable. Amarok 2.3 KDE 4.4.2
Latest beta (Amarok 2.3.1 beta1 ) fixes the problem for me.
Bug still exists here on Amarok 2.3-GIT with "Dark Default".
Myriam, Is it possible to set the bug confirmation? It was confirmed an age ago :-)
It is set to NEW = confirmed since quite some time :)
still the same in 2.3.1
Created attachment 47570 [details] unusable colors, very dark scheme
Created attachment 52216 [details] check color roles (color scheme): text of one hue should only appear on background with the same hue. @amarok devs: you may want to use the color scheme “check color roles”, which should be used by every kde dev while developing custom ui elements: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?action=content&content=90034
Wow, my color scheme has a fan ;)
i wish i wasn’t the only one -.- many application developers don’t seem to care about people wanting to customize the color schemes.
2.3.2 Still the same problem. I've checked out the source, but my kde skills are weak so I can find what I'm looking for.
i hiope it will be fixed in 2.4: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=117&t=91307
As far as 2.4.0 is still also affected by this outstanding bug, will it be correct to change Version field to 2.4.0?
flying-sheep: Your theme is awesome. It's ugly as stink, but it serves a great purpose, and should be used more by developers so that they can see what might happen to their apps in different schemes. I didn't realize that you'd never received any appreciation. Just because of that I showed some fan love on your theme page.
(In reply to comment #25) > flying-sheep: Your theme is awesome. i’m sure it is, but i didn’t make it. i’m only a fan of it, as it is a very useful tool. and it really should be part of every testing procedure.
This is an automated message from the triager: Amarok 2.4.1 has been released on May 8 already. Could you please upgrade and test if you can still reproduce this bug? Without feedback within a month we will close this bug as resolved. Thank you for your understanding.
Myriam, sorry, I don't understand your message. It is sufficient just to open A2 (and any standard KDE application with trees, lists and so on) to be sure the problem still exists. Have you ever opened any KDE app rather than A2? ;)
Andrew: if I had to test all the reported bugs that are open myself this would take a lot of time, that's why I ask people who reported the issue to test with a newer version. I don't think this is too much to ask. So if you say A2 this is simply not precise enough.
Myriam, yes, v.2.4.1 is also affected by the issue. Of course, it is our (users') task to report and verfy. I just mean for this concrete issue you would save your time just by opening the app - it takes less time rather new message in bugzilla. Nothing more. Thanks for your efforts.
Thank you for the fast feedback :)
Please check with Amarok 2.6, there have been many improvements since 2.4.x
Closing correctly.
