Comment 1 Elvis Angelaccio 2019-02-05 21:18:33 UTC
Is it just dolphin or any Qt/KDE application?
Comment 2 Gustavo Alvarez 2019-03-17 18:32:51 UTC
ktorrent, konversation, okular, kate/kwrite, kolourpaint...

same environment like Yurii
Comment 3 diver 2019-09-30 18:40:27 UTC
I have the same look in kolourpaint-19.08.1-564-macos-64-clang.dmg downloaded from
https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/MacOS/job/Kolourpaint_Nightly_macos/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/
Comment 4 Alex Fliker 2019-10-21 14:25:26 UTC
Can confirm it, same issue. Sidebar is behaving as expected, but the main area - no.
Comment 5 Alex Fliker 2019-10-21 15:23:42 UTC
There is a dirty solution for those who can't wait for the code to get fixed.
Open Finder, go to Applications, find Dolphin, press right-click choose Show Package Contents and open Contents folder. Open a terminal and drag into it the MacOS folder. Run:
mv dolphin _dolphin
chmod u+x ./dolphin
Create a script in this folder called dolphin. Write inside:
#!/bin/bash

/Applications/dolphin.app/Contents/MacOS/_dolphin -stylesheet /Applications/dolphin.app/Contents/Resources/dolphin.qss

Create /Applications/dolphin.app/Contents/Resources/dolphin.qss file and write inside:

DolphinViewContainer > DolphinView > QAbstractScrollArea {
      background-color: #000000;
}

You can adjust the color as desired (it's in hex). Restart the dolphin and enjoy the proper background while you use Dark theme.

For Kate, the color scheme Breeze Dark looks ok, it just needs to be set if Kate detects that the system appearance is Dark. But the main issue I see is that the oxygen icons are dark where they should be white.

Isn't there a wiki or something similar that lists the current "issues" on Mac, like for instance "sorry, following the system look automatically is not currently possible"?

FWIW, it *must* be possible, but the app will need to be packaged with a custom-written platform theme plugin (akin to the plasma-integration plugin). I've written one that's a tailored version of plasma-integration but it's designed to make KDE apps behave like they do on other Unix workstations, just with defaults that are appropriate for Mac (fonts, in particular). It could easily be extended with hardcoded colour palettes that are appropriate for the various modes on the different Mac OS versions ... by someone with access to OS versions where this is relevant.

Still an issue with 22.08.1 and macOS 12.6 (21G115) aka Monterey.
