I found that all dark themes that work use light view _and_ windows text on dark view _and_ window background. Usually the view text color is used on view background and the window text color is used on window background.

It doesn't use inactive text colors at all. Proof --> try to disable "Inactive selection changes color", you'll see nothing's changed in the sidebar.

It looks like kontact mixes them up and uses the view text color on window background. So themes only work when both window and view text colors are both dark or light and the windows and text colors the alternate, light and dark.

Yes.

So I fear that when changing the color scheme (instead of fixing kontact), if the window background is dark, one has to use a dark view background and light view text, too. But the light view background is why I like your color theme . It's not completely dark...

Yes, that is what i suggested, gonna try report upstream, and see what they say. Though Cristophe already disagreed it's a bug :-)

I would prefer to fix kontact.

Me too :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Actually, it's not a pure Kontact issue, also present in other sidebars, eg Okular

It looks like the cause of this is at least one layer deeper, maybe in KDE libs or even in Qt. I will try to find it out and report there with a subject like the following: "Themes with dark window background and light view background do not work". The cause seems to be that text in view text color is drawn on window background color. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
