Description Harald Sitter 2012-06-06 19:20:46 UTC
using the color scheme obsidian coast the new playlist controls fail to follow the scheme leading to near to unreadable text

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. switch to obsidian coast color scheme in kde
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
various amarok parts not following color scheme, looking weird and making text somewhat unreadable

Expected Results:  
amarok follows kde color scheme by using KColorScheme to make color decision rather than hardcoding

Hm, which are the parts not readable? Since those are probably not visible in your screenshot it might be useful to point those more specifically with a comparison in the default Oxygen theme

To the right hand side above the playlist there is "Dynamic Mode Enabled. Repopulate | Turn off" in a blue that has terrible contrast to the background. Looking through the color scheme's color  I cannot find the color the background uses.

Oh my, I would never have seen that without you pointing to it.

Use proper color in "Dynamic Playlist" notification strip

...it was not using style's link colour, from QPalette documentation:
> Note that we do not use the Link and LinkVisited roles when rendering
> rich text in Qt, and that we recommend that you use CSS

I didn't know this.

This should fix low-contrast problem with Obsidian Coast color scheme
and the like. It is still not optimal, but that would require
rethinking PaletteHandler::highlightColor().
FIXED-IN: 2.6
