Sounds like this theme has poorly-chosen colors in it. You'll want to report this to the developer of that theme.
Comment 4 Chris 2021-09-30 01:24:26 UTC
Somehow I'm not so sure since I've tested the following themes:
* Ant-Dark
* Breath2
* Breath2 2021
* Breath2 2021 Dark
* Breath2 2021 Light
* Breeze
* Breeze Dark
* Breeze Twilight
* McMojave
* Oxygen
* WhiteSur-dark

ALL theme gave me the same output. Either background is dark or light, label is always not visible.

I thought Breath2 is the default from Manjaro so should work but ends up still the same result.

All themes messing this up? I'm not sure about this.

Hmm, weird. Is it just that window that's affected? Or do you see the issue in any other windows too? For example any System Settings pages?
Comment 6 Chris 2021-10-04 03:23:36 UTC
It does seems only that particular windows.

The rest of the system setting pages works perfectly. I don't have any issue with other system setting pages.
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2021-10-04 16:51:48 UTC
I can't see anything weird with the code that could cause this. :/
Comment 8 Chris 2021-10-05 02:02:10 UTC
Anything more thing I can do to help?

Thanks!
Comment 9 Nate Graham 2021-10-16 17:31:54 UTC
Manuel found a way to reproduce the issue that I can confirm:

1 - Open the activities KCM and the Create New Activity window
2 - Close it and change the colorscheme
3 - Go back to the Activities KCM without closing SySE and open the same window again

Probably something in the KCM's code is not watching for changes to the color scheme in the embedded QML component (the rest of the window is QWidgets). We should just rewrite the whole thing in QML.
