[arch-general] KDE apps using incorrect colors after recent upgrade
I haven't yet been able to pin down the root cause, but some recent upgrade (my best guess is qt5) seems to be messing with my KDE apps' ability to pick up the correct color scheme. If you look at the screenshot at http://darose.net/Screenshot_2016-06-27_12-13-53.png you can see that I have KDE's color scheme set to a custom, dark scheme. However, several of the KDE apps are not picking up this scheme - e.g., the System Settings app itself, as well as Kalarm. But several other KDE apps are picking up the correct scheme correctly - such as Konqueror. Note that I'm using XFCE as my desktop, if that makes a difference Anyone have any idea what might be broken here, and how I might be able to get it fixed? Thanks, DR

Thanks for the suggestion. But that app seems just as messed up as all the others (see http://darose.net/Screenshot_2016-06-27_12-32-30.png): the app shows what my selected color scheme is, but doesn't use it in its own window. And there doesn't seem to be any setting in qt5ct that allows me to correct this. Is there some feature I'm not seeing? Thanks, DR

For my openbox install qt5ct doesn't even chose the correct font. [weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ grep QT /mnt/archlinux/etc/profile.d/qt5ct.sh export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct" [weremouse@moonstudio ~]$ sudo systemd-nspawn -qD /mnt/archlinux pacman -Q qt5ct qt5ct 0.24-1
