Bug ID: 436543
Summary: Kvantum config overrides colors no matter what is set
Product: filelight
Version: 21.04.0
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

filelight_screenshot_unreadable_info
SUMMARY
If kvantum.kvconfig is present, it overrides the proper system colors, NO
MATTER IF KVANTUM WINDOW THEME IS EVEN TURNED ON OR OFF.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Kvantum and ensure that there is ~/.config/Kvantum/kvantum.kvconfig
present.
2. Set for example WhiteSur-light kvantum theme.
3. You can check it when Kvantum is enabled and then when Breeze style is
enabled - in both cases the issue exists.
OBSERVED RESULT
Gray background with gray fonts create unreadable info-fields.
EXPECTED RESULT
Info fields (whatever they are properly called) should take colors from system
colors and be readable at any time (Kvantum themes should have no effect in the
text fields).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I noticed, that info is unreadable, see the screenshot. When trying to figure
out what is wrong I discovered, that setting any color theme in system settings
was immediately fixing the issue for the present diagram window. However, when
a new diagram/analysis is invoked, the same issue with unreadable fields
happen.
So it looks like when the color theme is by default being overwritten by mere
presence of kvantum.kvconfig EVEN IF SYSTEM HAS SET BREEZE STYLE OF WINDOWS (so
kvantum style is not applied)!!!
This is easy to check. Rename or remove kvantum.kvconfig, then the issue
disappears. If it shows up, we get again unreadable fields.
This is clearly inappropriate behavior. I'm not sure if the kvantum theme
should change anything in filelight, but it definitely shouldn't change when
Breeze style is chosen. And the fact that the fact of applying any color theme
is fixing it for a moment suggests that those text fields should read color
themes, not Kvantum theme.
Anyway, this is a serious issue, because:
1. With Kvantum, filelight is unusable (info is unreadable so filelight is
working properly)
2. Because Filelight incorrectly reads the kvantum.kvconfig even if kvantum
theme is inactive, makes Filelight and Kvantum to conflict when then shouldn't
In my opinion, filelight info fields should have nothing to do with kvatum
theme and should read system color themes, as they are somehow doing, but not
entirely.
The content of my ~/.config/Kvantum/kvantum.kvconfig:
[General]
theme=WhiteSur
