Example of this bug in action. (Notice how word 'Preview' above preview area is written in black)

Certain elements that should use colors from 'Window' color set (as specified in System Settings > Application Appearance > Colors) use colors from 'View' color set. This happens in all programs that use QtCurve style.

Screenshot is an example of window where this bug occurs (please note black 'Preview' label). (Note: other styles (such as Oxygen) use colors from proper color set.)



STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Go to System settings —> Application Appearance

2. In section 'Style', make sure QtCurve is selected as 'Widget Style'.

3. In section 'Colors', select 'Colors' tab.
  3.1. From 'Color Set' dropdown, select 'View'. 
    3.1.1 Change color of 'Normal Background' and 'Alternate Background' to white
    3.1.2 Change color of 'Normal Text' to black.

  3.2. From 'Color Set' dropdown, select 'Window'
    3.2.1 Change color of 'Normal Background' and 'Alternate Background' to black
    3.2.2 Change color of 'Normal Text' to white.

  3.3 Click 'Apply'



EXPECTED RESULT:

Window view has black background and all text in Window view is white.



ACTUAL RESULT: 

Some text in Window view is black. (See 'Preview' label in screenshot)

Linux 3.13.0-32-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 03:51:08 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux



QTCURVE VERSION: 1.8.14-3



ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Verifying the problem is caused by label getting its colors from wrong color set:

1. Go to System Settings -> application appearance —> Colors
2. Select 'Colours' tab, select 'View' from the 'Color set' dropdown
3. Change 'Normal Text' color to red
4. See the offending elements change color

Example 2 of this bug in action: Combo boxes and library view in Amarok, arrows in program menus.

I've found additional places where QtCurve uses the wrong color roles:

* Combo boxes
* Arrows in program (dropdown) menus
* Thing that is being used by Amarok in Library view.

Theme is the one Christoph linked.
