QGIS 1.0.0: ugly blue bars making selections almost unreadable

Description

Attached screenshots shows that recently (or with new QT?) menu bars and selectors have an unwanted dark-blue color. The earlier light grey was much better of course.

Happens at least in OSGeo4W-QGIS (Windows) and Mandriva 2009.0.

A fix would be appreciated. Looks like an initialization bug.

History

#1 Updated by Borys Jurgiel about 15 years ago

The same in Ubuntu Intrepid/KDE 4.2. QGIS just ignores the system qt palette. In KDE3@Ubuntu Hardy the system colours was used.

#2 Updated by Paolo Cavallini about 15 years ago

Works fro me, on Debian testing/Xfce. Could you provide more details?

#3 Updated by Markus Neteler about 15 years ago

Sure:

qtconfig -> change style to something else -> file->save

Works just fine here. Gentoo ~x86, KDE 3.5.10, Qt 4.4.2
Is this QGIS bug? Probably this is Qt issue.

#5 Updated by Paolo Cavallini about 15 years ago

Please chech whether other Qt apps have the same problem; in this case, please close the bug.

#6 Updated by Markus Neteler about 15 years ago

It is not the case here, only QGIS is affected.

#7 Updated by Borys Jurgiel about 15 years ago

At mine it was affecting all qt4, but not-kde applications, so it was just a problem with passing the current KDE palette to external qt4 applications. After I've fixed it, QGIS and the rest work fine. So the reason seems to be the default qt palette.

Markus, have you tried another "qt-but-not-kde" applications? At mine there was at least smplayer, qstardict and skype.

#8 Updated by Markus Neteler about 15 years ago

Aha. While Skype looks ok, also qstardict (just installed now, v0.12.9-2mdv2009.0, x86_64) suffers from that color problem. What was your trick to fix that?

Note that it at least also affects OSGeo4W-QGIS on XP.

#9 Updated by Borys Jurgiel about 15 years ago

In my case, a typical 'winbuntu' solution - I've unchecked (sic!) the 'Apply colors to non-KDE4 applications' chceckbox in the KDE systemsettings. After checking it back, the colors are still being passed to qt4 applications (but not to qt3 nor gtk ones). I'm using KDE 4.2rc @ qt 4.4.3.

#10 Updated by Markus Neteler about 15 years ago

Thanks to and 071f3cc5 (SVN r10026) it is now blue with white font (and no longer blue with black font).

#11 Updated by Giovanni Manghi over 14 years ago

Can we close this? Seems to me that have been fixed already.

#12 Updated by Borys Jurgiel over 14 years ago

in any case, this is not a QGIS issue. But there's another thing.. Has the checkbox column to be so wide under windows?

#13 Updated by Giovanni Manghi over 14 years ago

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from Open to Closed

Closing this, reopen if necessary.

I filed a enhancement ticket for the problem of the checkbox column under windows.

thanks for the note, I was looking around on how to write references correctly.
