Try attached color scheme, it's a little different to many others, but looks but ugly with a background gradient enabled (KDE:contrast != 0) Unfortunately, the oxygen bindings in KF5 ignore this setting, and use a background gradient, which looks very different to KDE4. While at it, the menu background is different, too (white in KF5, while gold in KDE4) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. throw LISAGold.colors into $KDEHOME/.share/apps/color-schemes 2. enable LISA-Gold in systemsettings 3. switch to oxygen in KDE4 (and KF5) 4. install a KF5 app, and check the difference

Hello, first: thanks for reporting ! second: could you post screenshot of your favorite application with and without the bug ? (or: how it looks with kf5 and how with kde4) ? That would help me check - if I can reproduce - and how to debug Thanks ! Hugo
Created attachment 100198 [details] That's oxygen in KF5 with my theme Note the gradient, that is deactivated (contrast=0) in the color scheme
Created attachment 100199 [details] That's my theme with breeze Apart from the UI item look, breeze get's it correctly (but doesn't support a background gradient anyway, hance it cannot have that problem...)
Created attachment 100200 [details] This it my theme with oxygen in KDE4 Again, no gradient...
Thank you, Hugo for looking into it.. It's a pleasure for me to provide any necessary detail, that helps you to understand this issue! Please note, that I'm away for a couple of days on Friday with very limited internet access.
Hello, did you try, in systemsetting5 (the version for kf5) to set the contrast to zero ? By default I get the same as your screenshot from comment 3, but then if I set the contrast to zero (from systemsetting5, and not the kde4 version), then I get something that is similar to that posted in comment 5 (your kde4 screenshot).
Created attachment 100207 [details] Hmm, my systemssettings5 is pretty empty... Any idea, how that package could be named, that I'm missing?
Here's the KF5 repo, I'm using: https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/KDE:Frameworks5
Ahh, most probably, it's in plasma5-workspace, but that cannot be installed without deinstalling my KDE4 desktop. Will try that in a VM after holidays. Thank you, Hugo, much appreciated!
Problem is solved long ago, and KDE4 is on its way to the happy hunting grounds.
