Description westermanalving@gmail.com 2023-12-13 22:30:50 UTC
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.      Standard launch
2.      Running fine
3.      Constant Problem

OBSERVED RESULT

When running the entire box is dark grey with the lettering black.  Barely readable.  I have looked all over the application and cannot find anything to reverse the colors or modify the colors to make it more readable.


EXPECTED RESULT

Expected to see some kind of selection of dark/light background & or lettering to make it readable but none was found.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma:  Manjarno

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The program and software selection is some of the best I have found; it is only this bug in the rendering of the screen that makes it nearly impossible to use.  Hope it helps and hope you are able to resolve the issue soon!

Regards ..... alvin

Thanks!

It appears that the styling mechanism for QtQuick apps isn't set up properly on your system. Any of several things could be happening to cause it (possibly more than one):
- You don't have the plasma-integration package installed
- You do have plasma-integration installed, but you also have the qt5ct package installed
- You do have plasma-integration installed and don't have qt5ct installed, but regardless, somehow the value of the QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME environment variable has been manually overridden from the value that plasma-integration sets it to
- You don't have the qqc2-desktop-style package installed
- The color scheme you're using is broken

All of these issues would be caused by improper distro packaging or improper local setup on your machine. I'd recommend checking on the things I mentioned above. If you can't figure it out, you can follow up with the support channels of your distro. If that doesn't prove fruitful, you can always ask at https://discuss.kde.org and hopefully the folks there can help you out.

I'm closing this now since the issue is not a bug in Discover, but rather a case of improper packaging or setup. Thanks again!
