I am starting to diagnose a problem that recently emerged for me.

The timeline is fuzzy. I will do my best.

I updated macports (selfupdate, upgrade outdated) 1-2 weeks ago. Figure a 4 
week gap before the previous update.

Yesterday, I noticed a problem with a locally built app using qt6. Something 
that had been working before the update. Several parts of the UI have gotten 
obnoxious white backgrounds. Striking because the general theme of the UI is 
normally dark. It does render the app unusable because it washes out the white 
text printed there.

I rebuilt the app using their gtk4 UI. Not bad and mostly working. The general 
theme of that UI is light. However, it too has several parts with suspicious 
white backgrounds. I remember the UI used to have colour and shading that is 
now white.

If the gtk4 build had worked flawlessly, then it's reasonable to expect a bug 
creeped into qt6. Seeing white in both UIs is interesting. Perhaps even 
correlated.

One detail I do need to chase down is my local variants.conf which contains, 
"-x11 +no_x11 +quartz". This will take time to rebuild and try with x11 instead.

Given the observations, I am hoping it's something that changed in the last 6 
weeks. But, there's no guarantee.
