Hello,
I'm using Qt 4.4.0 packaged on Ubuntu Hardy. I noticed that qt4 programs, including qtconfig, skype, and GTK programs rendered by gtk-qt-engine, are not honoring my color scheme configuration fully. They seem to only use the text color I configured, and the windows and buttons are always in the default colors.
I have tried changing the configuration in three ways: using qtconfig and building the palette, using a KDE 4 option to configure Qt programs to use its color scheme, and editing ~/.config/Trolltech.conf manually. They all yielded similar result. When I build the palette using qtconfig, the preview window shows the right colors, and if I save the configuration, that qtconfig window also has the right colors. But when I open another instance of qtconfig, or whether I close this instance first or not, the other instance would go back to the default colors.
To see which configured colors qt used, I edited the palette in Trolltech.conf. Then I opened qtconfig, changed a setting that's not related to colors, changed it back, and saved the config. I also got the default palette by running qtconfig with Trolltech.conf removed, and saving the config. I have these 3 palettes below, note that the spacing and linebreaks are added when I posted this. I also have my Trolltech.conf attached.
I haven't seen anyone else having this problem, but I'm not sure what on my system could be causing this. Any help would be appreciated.
This is the palette I have configured:
Palette\active=
#111111, #111222, #111333, #111444, #111555,
#111666, #111777, #111888, #111999, #111aaa,
#111bbb, #111ccc, #111ddd, #111eee, #222111,
#222222, #222333, #222444, #222555, #222666
Palette\inactive=
#222777, #222888, #222999, #222aaa, #222bbb,
#222ccc, #222ddd, #222eee, #333111, #333222,
#333333, #333444, #333555, #333666, #333777,
#333888, #333999, #333aaa, #333bbb, #333ccc
Palette\disabled=
#333ddd, #333eee, #444111, #444222, #444333,
#444444, #444555, #444666, #444777, #444888,
#444999, #444aaa, #444bbb, #444ccc, #444ddd,
#444eee, #555111, #555222, #555333, #555444
But with that configuration, Qt actually uses this (I got this by opening qtconfig, changing a setting that's not related to colors, and saving the config):
Palette\active=
#111111, #959ba2, #bac2cb, #a7aeb6, #73777d,
#7c8187, #111111, #ffffff, #111111, #ededed,
#959ba2, #000000, #a2a8df, #000000, #0000ff,
#ff00ff, #e6e6e6, #000000, #ffffdc, #000000
Palette\inactive=
#111111, #959ba2, #bac2cb, #a7aeb6, #73777d,
#7c8187, #111111, #ffffff, #111111, #ededed,
#959ba2, #000000, #a2a8df, #000000, #0000ff,
#ff00ff, #e6e6e6, #000000, #ffffdc, #000000
Palette\disabled=
#535659, #959ba2, #bac2cb, #a7aeb6, #73777d,
#63676c, #535659, #ffffff, #535659, #ffffff,
#959ba2, #000000, #dfdfdf, #000000, #0000ff,
#ff00ff, #e6e6e6, #000000, #ffffdc, #000000
This appears to be Qt's default colors (I got this by removing ~/.config/Trolltech.conf, opening qtconfig, changing a setting unrelated to colors, and saving the config):
Palette\active=
#141312, #959ba2, #bac2cb, #a7aeb6, #73777d,
#7c8187, #141312, #ffffff, #141312, #ededed,
#959ba2, #000000, #a2a8df, #000000, #0000ff,
#ff00ff, #d8d8d8, #000000, #ffffdc, #000000
Palette\inactive=
#141312, #959ba2, #bac2cb, #a7aeb6, #73777d,
#7c8187, #141312, #ffffff, #141312, #ededed,
#959ba2, #000000, #a2a8df, #000000, #0000ff,
#ff00ff, #d8d8d8, #000000, #ffffdc, #000000
Palette\disabled=
#54575a, #959ba2, #bac2cb, #a7aeb6, #73777d,
#63676c, #54575a, #ffffff, #54575a, #ffffff,
#959ba2, #000000, #dfdfdf, #000000, #0000ff,
#ff00ff, #d8d8d8, #000000, #ffffdc, #000000
So it seems that only the first color in my config, #111111, is in Qt's loaded config. But some other colors are replaced with #111111 too, and that value is not in the default. Also there are some values in the loaded config, but neither in mine or the default config.
