Hi all,
We are currently porting parts of the Kdenlive UI to Qml, and I have one
issue with the Breeze icons when used in a Qml scene embedded in a
QQuickWidget.
We enforce a color theme in our app using:
qApp->setPalette(palette());
QGuiApplication::setPalette(plt);
When used in QWidgets, everything works fine and the icon color
automatically adjust to the theme, using the text color. However, icons
used in Qml do not adjust their color WHEN the system icon theme is
different than Breeze. I tried several options, described below but was
unable to get the expected behavior: breeze icon following the
application color theme. Did anyone encounter this problem ? is it a
limitation of the icon coloring feature ? Any idea how I could solve the
problem ?
What I tried:
Forcing the app icons using QIcon::setTheme('breeze') or the
icontheme.rcc file in $appdata gave the same results:
1 - Using plain Qml, ToolButton {iconName:'arrow-down'}: the icon
remains black no matter what color theme is used for the application
2 - Using PlasmaCore.IconItem : The icon changes color when changing the
global desktop color theme, but not when changing the application color
theme with setPalette()
3 - Using QIconItem, sameresults as QML's ToolButton icon
As I said, this behavior only happens if the Desktop icon theme is
different than Breeze. If you use Breeze as icon theme, everything works
fine.
Any help appreciated, thanks.
