kalarm qt dark themes out of wack or am i missing smthing?

[teal robin]

fusion and windows then breeze dark (currrently on) lightly qt adwaita qt qtcurve nothing same kind of issue. I can see some parts changing but for the most part there s these white parts that make most of the content just ridiculously hard to see

[gaunt iris]

Go to kde theme section. Thier are bunch of sub parts for setting themes for different parts of windows. See which one has light theme on it, and install a dark version (or whatever you want) for it.

Did this recently break?
I am on hyprland and me, and a few of my friends(i3/kde plasma) are experiencing this exact same issue.
We all have our env vars set up properly, aswell as kdeglobals.
Kde fucked up bad this time.

@gaunt iris i m not on kde i just run arch and just run hyprland on top of it with other stuff
@dreamy saddle I might be misremembering but pretty sure it s somewhat recent it s been like this for like a month or smthing? maybe a bit more - I just thought it was smthing with the qt themes and left it for when i had some time I d just check out what was wrong. But honestly not sure cuz everything else is fine.
Even other kde stuff are fine like okular kdenlive krita everything seems fine - Besides krita and kdenlive not following system theme by default I tried changing from within and they seem fine on different themes that I have the problem on with kalarm

[teal robin]

is your problem just on kalarm or other kde apps also?

[dreamy saddle]

my problem is on dolphin only, no other kde apps that I know of

well actually kde settings too but I don't use those so couldn't care less tbh

[teal robin]

ok so just quickly trying dolphin same thing do u use kalarm? could u check how that looks also?
What I notice is those 2 are the only kde apps that I cant change theme from within the app I guess they directly follow qt5 or 6 theme and just out of wack

[dreamy saddle]

I don't use kalarm, I use qt6ct with my own theme which always worked fine

[teal robin]

yep qt6ct and 5 also for my qt stuff
if u click on the menu top right on dolphin what colorscheme does it look like?

[teal robin]

wtf what theme are u using

[dreamy saddle]

my own

[dreamy saddle]

I am p sure yours is themed because you somehow selected dark theme in kde settings or something

mine's set to light iirc

[teal robin]

@dreamy saddle yep smthing is weird
no it s nothing with kde settings i just use qt6ct and 5 for the qt stuff
It s just so weird that the modals for example on the menus show themed but not the actual windows I had a hunch same would happen with dolphin.
I think on your system u missed smthing and it s just not reading your theme at all
While on mine it s like out of wack? l ike either partially theming shit or just smthing wrong with those kde apps using the theme?

I assume normally on your theme the main windows should also be with that blue color instead of the white no?

if u use another theme like smthing dark so it s immediately visible is there still no change on dolphin for u?

[teal robin]

@dreamy saddle gtry dolphin from terminal with --platformtheme qt6ct directly

[dreamy saddle]

I can try all the commands out there, it won't change a thing

dolphin is detecting the theme but something's broken in the dolphin itself, as I said, my system is properly set up and has worked flawlessly for months

as for you menu being themed, I am not saying that you are currently using kde settings, I am saying that one way or the other, you managed to set the kde system theme to dark, and therefore, it's using the dark theme for dropdowns

[teal robin]

I mean u re probably right that it s a problem on dolphin s end but how do u know that it actually sees it? that s what i mean.

[teal robin]

but i can see the colorscheme for the dropdowns chagning when i just switch a theme to anotehr scheme for example "but through the qtct config tools.
So what do u mean that I ve changed the kde system theme? that s where I m lost. Cuz the apps themeselves just follow qt.
There were -kde or smthing versions of the qtct tools also that re supposed to better integrate with kde but same issue no change while trying those

I guess I ll quickly go through kde s docs when i find some time. Maybe I m just missing smthing idk probably just something wrong on the apps ' end though just not sure
