Description .:triune. (♪_♪) 2011-02-08 20:03:57 UTC
Version:           4.5 (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

This bug was originally filed on the Chrome issue site:

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=31191

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Choose a dark colored theme which uses a light colored text.
2) Open Chrome.
3) Observe the bookmarks that are unreadable in Chrome >>

Actual Results:  
Text in bookmarks were unreadable as they are a light colored font on a light colored background.

Expected Results:  
KDE should draw the font in the color requested by Chrome ~ black.

Since the KDE Software Compilation does not ship a "draw-gtk-apps-like-qt-apps" component, you have to find out which third-party component you are using.

- oxygen-gtk style, see http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/?content=136216

- gtk-oxygen-engine, see http://gitorious.org/gtk-oxygen-engine/gtk-oxygen-engine

- gtk-kde4 engine, see http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=74689

Maybe other options exists. If unsure, ask in your distributions' forum.

Talked to the Kubuntu developers, and they mentioned that this is the engine >>

gtk2-engines-qtcurve 1.5.2-1ubuntu3

That help at all? Or does this mean the bug is now passed over to maintainers of that engine?
Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2011-02-10 01:11:22 UTC
Thanks for the information. You could try a newer version (1.8.5 is released), before reporting the problem to the author of the QtCurve GTK+ engine.

If the problem persists with the newest version, please report it to http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/?content=40492

I'm the maintainer of QtCurve.

I've just downloaded google-chrome-stable_current_i386.rpm, and installed. Tried with a QtCurve theme using dark popupmenus with light text - and the bookmark toolbar is using dark text (which is a blue-ish colour).

As Christoph said above, please check with latest QtCurve. If the problem persists, please email me your QtCurve and colour settings.

Tried to update this package from maverick and natty back into lucid. Cascading dependencies prevented that from happening. Guess I won't be updating this package until the next LTS release of ubuntu (11.10 probably?). So, please close this bug and I will reopen it further down the road if the problem persists.
