Qt maemo widget themes use window color as background but then use base text color and vice versa

1600436296 <uvos> Wizzup: you can see the number then, but you cant see it as you type
1600436302 <Wizzup> ok
1600436325 <uvos> Wizzup: dont have beta installed
1600436331 <uvos> Wizzup: ill try nokia nseries
1600436335 <uvos> Wizzup: the default theme
1600436342 <Wizzup> uvos: no need
1600436347 <uvos> ?
1600436348 <Wizzup> I do see some text, I just see it delayed
1600436353 <Wizzup> like, press 2+2
1600436357 <Wizzup> then I will see '2+'
1600436361 <Wizzup> but not the last
1600436364 <Wizzup> and then '=' makes all visible
1600436371 <uvos> Wizzup:
1600436376 <uvos> i can highlight the text
1600436378 <uvos> its there
1600436380 <uvos> its just black
1600436381 <Wizzup> I'm pretty sure this is just a style problem
1600436420 <Wizzup> I'm trying libpurple-slack with haze, but haze seems to throw sigtrap
1600436454 <uvos> Wizzup: type 9s untill the keypad disables itself
1600436489 <Wizzup> uh what?
1600436498 <uvos> and then drag your finger over area to the right of the back button
1600436514 <uvos> in osso_calculator
1600436528 <Wizzup> it is visible, just black on dark grey
1600436548 <Wizzup> (clearly a style problem)
1600436555 <Wizzup> well that's probably marina related
1600436556 <uvos> Wizzup: its not a style problem
1600436558 <Wizzup> I use beta
1600436570 <uvos> Wizzup: its because it uses the wrong color field
1600436579 <Wizzup> I'm telling you it is a style problem
1600436581 <uvos> Wizzup: it needs to use window text qt color field
1600436585 <uvos> Wizzup: no its an app problem
1600436587 <Wizzup> all qt5 apps with maemo style have problems rendering text fields
1600436590 <Wizzup> and they all do it wrong
1600436604 <Wizzup> try countdowntimer settings
1600436610 <uvos> Wizzup: its using the content text color field
1600436622 <uvos> Wizzup: thats wrong because its set against the window color
1600436625 <uvos> not the content colr
1600436627 <Wizzup> open 'settings' in countdowntimer
1600436635 <Wizzup> and relaise that both these apps are unchanged colour wise from fremantle
1600436640 <Wizzup> and in fremantle and renders fine
1600436644 <Wizzup> this is a style problem
1600436717 <uvos> Wizzup: the spec changed between qt4 and qt5
1600436722 <uvos> to allow themes like this:
1600436830 <uvos> http://uvos.xyz/scr.png
1600436911 <uvos> previously the window color and the content text color where defined to have high contrast
1600436920 <uvos> this is why it works on fremantle
1600436929 <uvos> this is now out of spec
1600437084 <Wizzup> hm
1600437161 <uvos> Wizzup: so we can change our themes to make it work, but the applcations are out of spec by assuming that those 2 colors have high contrast
1600437268 <Wizzup> we can at least pick a better colour I guess
1600437335 <uvos> Wizzup: right
1600437354 <uvos> Wizzup: this is a problem i have been fihgting lots since i use sutch  an unusal theme on my desktop
1600437356 <uvos> :P
1600437387 <uvos> there where many applcations that violated this in the past
1600437393 <uvos> i has become mutch better now to
1600437395 <uvos> *tho

Isn't that fixed by latest qtstyleplugins changes?

Yes, I think so, thanks!
