Hello,
 
 the x2goclient has hardcoded light appearance for the various widgets
 (main window, session list, login window, progress of logging in),
 which does not work well with dark system theme: the white font is not
 distinquishable from the background.

To those interested, a quick workaround w/o need for recompiling is to
run:

$ x2goclient -bg white -fg black

which will set background and foreground colours for the whole app,
fitting with the hardcoded lookfeel. (Both parameters exist for any
Qt app. Probably works only in X Window system.)

The app then looks different than the rest of the DE, of course.

Regards,
Milan

[X2Go-Dev] Font colour in x2goclient in case of dark system theme

2012-02-17 Thread Milan Knížek 
Hello,

the x2goclient has hardcoded light appearance for the various widgets
(main window, session list, login window, progress of logging in),
which does not work well with dark system theme: the white font is not
distinquishable from the background.

I have checked the Qt documentation and there seems to be more ways
on how to accomplish that. So far, I have used three various methods:

  labelname-setStyleSheet(QLabel { color : black; });

or

  cpal.setColor ( QPalette::Text, Qt::black);

or

  QString fonttemplate=(font color='black'%1/font);
  nameLabel-setTextFormat ( Qt::RichText );
  nameLabel-setText ( fonttemplate.arg( text ) );

which kind of works, though it requires to be written repeatedly
throughout the code (sessionbutton.cpp, onmainwindow.cpp,
onmainwindow_part4.cpp) for individual widgets and so far I am not able
to use a single approach for all widget types (QLabel, QMenu,
QPushButton, etc.). The first method seems to be the most general and
simplest, however.

Is there a way to set application-wide font colour for anything
that appears in the widgets, but not in app menu and other windows
(Settings, Session Settings, etc.), because these are styled with the
system-wide dark theme?

Where in the code?

P.S. Sorry for possibly stupid question, but since I am not a coder, it
is rather a trial  error approach and a lot of googling...

Regards,
Milan

I don't think it is stupid at all.  I have found myself sometimes
frustrated at white text boxes with no borders on white backgrounds
making it almost impossible to see where to click to enter the field.
Thanks for bringing it to the fore - John
