[url]https://imgur.com/gallery/vScsErk[/url] The calendar popup in the default standalone clock widget is unusable with breeze light / breeze theme. This is due to the text color being white on top of a whitish background. The characters are near impossible to read Suggestion: make the standalone clock widget calendar popup text black. Funnily enough, I thought the problem was due to me using a lighter background theme as highlighted here [url]https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=173509[/url] causing the transparency mode to mess up, but that was not exactly the case. With lighter backgrounds, it amplifies this problem to the point where some of the text is literally unreadable. I tested the calendar with a darker background and found out that it was still difficult to fix, but better.
Ok, so the [url][/url] aren't tags you are supposed to use here. Only on the forums. That is confusing as hell. Imgur link: https://imgur.com/gallery/vScsErk Forum link: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=173509
Cannot reproduce with Breeze Light color scheme and Breeze Plasma theme (Not Breeze Light or Breeze Dark). What Plasma theme are you using?
https://imgur.com/gallery/VVCnW4g Quick Setting: Light theme Appearance: Global Theme: Breeze Application Style: Breeze Plasma Style: Breeze Light Colors: Breeze Light Window Decoration: Breeze Everything else shouldn't mess with it.
I've experimented with: Plasma style: Breeze normal (Follows color scheme), and it still has the same behavior. Color: Breeze (normal), still the same behavior. I even have the same behavior with plasma style air!!! Maybe this problem is with something else???
The reason why I think it is a theme problem is because it works well in dark theme: https://imgur.com/gallery/SKxQQ5g
This is very strange. Can you try setting your color scheme to something else, and then back to Breeze Light?
The color schemes do no affect the clock widget. Also to note, I have sweet Mars and sweet normal installed and they also have similar issues with the calendar widget. https://imgur.com/a/zPpbRfa I did try changing everything around with no avail.
> The color schemes do no affect the clock widget. That means you're using a Plasma theme that does not respect the active color scheme. Can you try again with the *Breeze* Plasma style? Not Breeze Light or Breeze Dark. Only *Breeze*. Then while the Breeze Plasma theme is active, try resetting the color scheme to something else and then back to Breeze Light.
https://imgur.com/a/Q6tiPMO Hmmm. That didn't change anything either. I generally use the breeze theme whenever possible. I only use breeze light rn for color because regular breeze causes the top of windows to become dark.
Can you paste the output of grep 'Colors:Window' -A 13 ~/.config/kdeglobals
[dogunbound@dogArch ~]$ grep 'Colors:Window' -A 13 ~/.config/kdeglobals [Colors:Window] BackgroundAlternate=227,229,231 BackgroundNormal=239,240,241 DecorationFocus=61,174,233 DecorationHover=61,174,233 ForegroundActive=61,174,233 ForegroundInactive=112,125,138 ForegroundLink=41,128,185 ForegroundNegative=218,68,83 ForegroundNeutral=246,116,0 ForegroundNormal=35,38,41 ForegroundPositive=39,174,96 ForegroundVisited=155,89,182 [dogunbound@dogArch ~]$
Well color me confused beyond my level of knowledge, then. :/ Noah or Niccolo, any ideas?
I am using arch. Any packages I should install?
I have a theory that something is changing the color scope or directly setting the color of PlasmaCore.Theme.textColor, but I don't know what. There's nothing in the code of the calendar module in plasma-framework or the code of the digital clock widget.
Ok, I figured it out. The color comes from here: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/components/containmentlayoutmanager/qml/BasicAppletContainer.qml#L31 This is because of the code here: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/applets/digital-clock/package/contents/ui/main.qml#L23
