SUMMARY

The scrollbar is unusable with black/dark color scheme like Green on Black.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

OBSERVED RESULT

The scrollbar is invisible.  It is black next to the black background.
The scrollbar 'thumb' or 'slider' is also invisible.

EXPECTED RESULT

A scrollbar with a background that contrasts with the background.  A thumb portion that contrasts with both the scrollbar and the background.

Can you post a screenshot? I run Konsole with a dark color scheme and the inline scrollbar looks fine to me.

Comment 3 Bruce Dubbs 2019-02-22 23:04:18 UTC 
Just to be clear, this system is a linuxfromscratch build.  I did try to look at the konsole source and can hard code a change to the scrollbar, but I can't figure out how to change the color of the 'thumb/slider'  I can change the outline of the thumb, but it is only one pixel wide and very faint.

Could this be a qt-5.12.1 issue?

What widget theme are you using? Looks like it's not Breeze.
Comment 5 Bruce Dubbs 2019-02-22 23:20:29 UTC 
My window manager is xfce.  I have tried many different themes including Adwaita, Clearlooks, High Contrast, Mist, Redmond, Xfce, etc.  None changed the scrollbar appearance in any way.

I've made a little progress.  I brought up plasma and the konsole scrollbar visibility is fine there.  If I go to another system and log in via ssh on an xfce based system, the scrollbar is as as I described earlier.  

This is different from earlier behavior.  I went back and checked and the versions that were OK were konsole-17.12.0; kf5-5.41; qt-5.10.0.

Do you support konsole in a non-plasma desktop environment?

Yes, though not as well as we should, clearly. :)
