Created attachment 149612 [details] Kolour paint screenshot with dark theme SUMMARY *** When using a dark theme the tools on the left are very difficult to see since they stay dark color. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set any dark color theme (e.g. Monochrome, Dracula) 2. Open kolourpaint OBSERVED RESULT Tools and brushes are very difficult to see and discern. EXPECTED RESULT Tools and brushes should change to a lighter color like the fonts to make them more visible. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Latest KDE Neon packages. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444253 but in this case even the tool buttons are dark.
What icon theme are you using, specifically? Does it reproduce if you use the "Breeze" or "Breeze Dark" icon theme? Does the issue reproduce when using the "Breeze Dark" color scheme? Does it happen in any other KDE apps, or just Kolourpaint?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > What icon theme are you using, specifically? Does it reproduce if you use > the "Breeze" or "Breeze Dark" icon theme? I was using "Clarity" icon theme that is gray (dark) theme. No, the issue does not happen using other icon themes. > Does the issue reproduce when using the "Breeze Dark" color scheme? No, with Breeze Dark the icons are white in Kolourpaint when using dark color theme. > Does it happen in any other KDE apps, or just Kolourpaint? I tried other KDE apps like Krita, Kword, Kate, Kcalc but these particular icons are not used in any of them and other icons present are in the tool bar that has higher contrast so icons are clearly visible even if they are grey (Clarity) on top of the dark color theme. Now that I know that changing the icon theme solves the issue I am ok with this work around. Thanks.
Thanks. It's a bug in the icon theme. To properly support color schemes other than the one the icon theme was designed for, it needs to do one of the following things: 1. Implement re-coloring support in the SVG code of the icons themselves, if they are SVGs 2. Otherwise, offer a separate dark version of the icon theme that hardcodes a different color for the icons
