Bug ID: 364264
Summary: 'Apply colors to non-Qt applications' works
incorrectly with Breeze GTK
Product: systemsettings
Version: 1.0
Platform: unspecified
URL: http://i.imgur.com/59fnpGp.png
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_colors
Assignee: mwoehlke.fl...@gmail.com
Reporter: scionicspec...@gmail.com
CC: jpwhit...@kde.org
Breeze GTK's tooltips only work correctly when 'Apply colors to non-Qt
applications' is disabled. Otherwise, tooltips often adopt incorrect colors and
make text unreadable.
Because theme engines are no longer available in GTK 3, the approach we've
taken with Breeze GTK is less dynamic, meaning the colors are hardcoded. There
is work currently ongoing to generate the theme based on the currently selected
KDE color scheme, but those scripts are unrelated to the behavior of the
current option to apply colors.
In the meantime, I propose we workaround the issue by disabling whatever is
being done to GTK applications when the selected theme includes 'Breeze-gtk'
somewhere in the name and 'Apply colors to non-Qt applications' is checked.
Alternatively, we could leave the box unchecked by default since Breeze-gtk is
the default GTK theme.
Is it possible to add an exception for this option so that it behaves
differently based on which GTK theme is selected? I would imagine this only
impacts Breeze, Oxygen, and maybe QtCurve so far as GTK themes are concerned.
Eventually, when the theme-generation scripts for color scheme support are
complete, it would be interesting to make this option call out to those scripts
for better integration.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check 'Apply colors to non-Qt applications' in the Option tab of the Colors
KCM
2. Open a GTK 2 (GTK 3 in rare cases) application
3. Hover a button or other UI element to invoke a tooltip
Actual Results:
The tooltip text is unreadable while using Breeze GTK because colors are being
dynamically injected into the GTK tooltips at runtime.
Expected Results:
Readable colors for tooltips and all other elements set deliberately by the
static, prebuilt Breeze GTK theme.
