Is that everywhere with text or just some places? If it is the latter I would suspect that we are using pallet effects for them (which I feel sure I saw being manipulated in some of the dialogues at least) - the Qt Documentation is quite specific about NOT mixing palette and style- sheets, e.g. the current version (5.8) has this to say about the (QPalette)QWidget::pallete member and it's setter, (void)QWidget::setPalette(const QPalette &) method:
'When you assign a new palette to a widget, the color roles from this palette are combined with the widget's default palette to form the widget's final palette. The palette entry for the widget's background role is used to fill the widget's background (see QWidget::autoFillBackground), and the foreground role initializes QPainter's pen. 'The default depends on the system environment. QApplication maintains a system/theme palette which serves as a default for all widgets. There may also be special palette defaults for certain types of widgets (e.g., on Windows XP and Vista, all classes that derive from QMenuBar have a special default palette). You can also define default palettes for widgets yourself by passing a custom palette and the name of a widget to QApplication::setPalette(). Finally, the style always has the option of polishing the palette as it's assigned (see QStyle::polish()). 'QWidget propagates explicit palette roles from parent to child. If you assign a brush or color to a specific role on a palette and assign that palette to a widget, that role will propagate to all the widget's children, overriding any system defaults for that role. Note that palettes by default don't propagate to windows (see isWindow()) unless the Qt::WA_WindowPropagation attribute is enabled. 'QWidget's palette propagation is similar to its font propagation. 'The current style, which is used to render the content of all standard Qt widgets, is free to choose colors and brushes from the widget palette, or in some cases, to ignore the palette (partially, or completely). In particular, certain styles like GTK style, Mac style, Windows XP, and Vista style, depend on third party APIs to render the content of widgets, and these styles typically do not follow the palette. Because of this, assigning roles to a widget's palette is not guaranteed to change the appearance of the widget. Instead, you may choose to apply a styleSheet. You can refer to our Knowledge Base article here for more information. 'Warning: Do not use this function in conjunction with Qt Style Sheets. When using style sheets, the palette of a widget can be customized using the "color", "background-color", "selection-color", "selection- background-color" and "alternate-background-color".' -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mudlet Makers, which is subscribed to Mudlet. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670576 Title: Allow setAppStyleSheet to overwrite Mudlet-specified colours Status in Mudlet: Confirmed Bug description: Whatever we're doing to set the colour of text isn't working with setAppStyleSheet, or someone just needs to figure out the right CSS style for the dialog we show (since you don't want to change the text of the colour everywhere).
