QGIS 1.0.0: ugly blue bars making selections almost unreadable

Attached screenshots shows that recently (or with new QT?) menu bars and selectors have an unwanted dark-blue color. The earlier light grey was much better of course.

Happens at least in OSGeo4W-QGIS (Windows) and Mandriva 2009.0.

A fix would be appreciated. Looks like an initialization bug.

The same in Ubuntu Intrepid/KDE 4.2. QGIS just ignores the system qt palette. In KDE3@Ubuntu Hardy the system colours was used.

Works fro me, on Debian testing/Xfce. Could you provide more details?

qtconfig -> change style to something else -> file->save

Works just fine here. Gentoo ~x86, KDE 3.5.10, Qt 4.4.2
Is this QGIS bug? Probably this is Qt issue.

Please chech whether other Qt apps have the same problem; in this case, please close the bug.

It is not the case here, only QGIS is affected.

At mine it was affecting all qt4, but not-kde applications, so it was just a problem with passing the current KDE palette to external qt4 applications. After I've fixed it, QGIS and the rest work fine. So the reason seems to be the default qt palette.

Markus, have you tried another "qt-but-not-kde" applications? At mine there was at least smplayer, qstardict and skype.

Aha. While Skype looks ok, also qstardict (just installed now, v0.12.9-2mdv2009.0, x86_64) suffers from that color problem. What was your trick to fix that?

Note that it at least also affects OSGeo4W-QGIS on XP.

In my case, a typical 'winbuntu' solution - I've unchecked (sic!) the 'Apply colors to non-KDE4 applications' chceckbox in the KDE systemsettings. After checking it back, the colors are still being passed to qt4 applications (but not to qt3 nor gtk ones). I'm using KDE 4.2rc @ qt 4.4.3.

Thanks to and 071f3cc (SVN r10026) it is now blue with white font (and no longer blue with black font).

Can we close this? Seems to me that have been fixed already.

in any case, this is not a QGIS issue. But there's another thing.. Has the checkbox column to be so wide under windows?

Closing this, reopen if necessary.

I filed a enhancement ticket for the problem of the checkbox column under windows.

thanks for the note, I was looking around on how to write references correctly.
