Hi all, Currently, KF5 apps using a dark color theme are broken when using the Default Ubuntu/Gnome desktop.
The problem is that KF5 apps use the "GTK" widget style when running on Gnome, which behaves very badly on dark color themes, making the apps unusable. I made a quick comparison gallery (Breeze / GTK / Fusion) with light and dark themes here: http://j-b-m.ch/themes Our application Kdenlive is frequently used with dark color themes. So for the 15.12.1 release, I made a change to force the "Breeze" widget style by default on startup (with a menu allowing to change the style). However, this behavior was recently reported as incorrect in the bugtracker (*) because we break the desktop behavior by not following the user's widget style. While I agree with this idea, providing an unusable app is also hurting us. Currently, my plan is to kind of "blacklist" the GTK widget style, so that we fall back to Fusion or Breeze when GTK style is detected. Just wanted to leave a trace of this issue here, and if anyone has comments / ideas, it is welcome.
