Using master branch, KDE 4.13.60. The background color for the progress widget is very dark on Apple OS X 10.7.4 Lion and the message text is written in default black, making the text unreadable. The attached patch will fix the problem. It sets the pen to the foreground color from KColorScheme. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Select a disk area to be analysed. 2. 3. Actual Results: Unreadable progress message. Expected Results: Readable progress message, e.g. white on dark background.
Created attachment 86423 [details] Patch to set the pen to KColorScheme's foreground color (e.g. white)
Actually on OpenSUSE 13.1 the background looks bright and transparent while the letters stay dark!
I figure that your patch is probably consistent for the selected theme, right? BTW, I have just patched kde4-filelight on MacPorts in r119667. It's a really nice tool! :-)
Herewith I verify that Ian's patch doesn't change appearance on Linux (tested on OpenSUSE 13.1).
