When using a darker KDE colorscheme like Obsidian Coast the text for the list of unread messages in a folder is a dark blue. This renders the titles of any unread email in the message list nearly unreadable. Reproducible: Always
you use default color ?.
I'm using the Obsidian Coast color scheme included in the default install of KDE 4.8.x
My question is: Do you use default color in kmail (configure->color) Is it default or not ?
So ?
Yes, untouched Obsidian Coast
unconfirm will test it soon
Ok reproductable. But can't fix it. We can't adapt color for specific scheme. We use blue for unread. So for fixing it use custom color. Regards
Instead of hardcoding blue color, you could use KColorScheme. But offering customizable colors is good, too.
'Instead of hardcoding blue color, you could use KColorScheme' we always use it for others colors. so we don't have more color
Hi Laurent, What Christoph Feck said in #8 is 100% correct. *All* KDE applications should use KColorScheme colors. There are 15 text colors in a given color scheme and 9 text colors in Kmail (discarding OpenPGP and HTML colors), so I think it is very possible to come up with a reasonable mapping for KColorScheme->Kmail. The current method of mapping colors within Kmail forces the user to quite possibly have to change those internal colors whenever they change their global KDE colors. To me this is incorrect behavior and poor GUI practice. When a member application deviates from the global standard it detracts from the perceived quality and overall fit and finish of KDE as a whole.
