Hi.. i tried to use opera with the obsidian coast color theme set in systemsettings.

But somehow the color scheme doesnt seem to set all colors. (mainly the dropdown)

have a look: http://carnager.dyndns.org/2.png

Is there any way i can fix this?

hej, which version do you use? with 4.1 i had also the same problem.. but with 4.2 not. and which opera-skin do you use? i use mirage_aprice-3 or opera standard.

i have only sometimes the problem, that the fonts in the opera menus are not dark enough, so it is difficult to read...

I have the same problem about the address bar.
However I have some more, when I open a standard page (no styles, just text, ie dadsakjdhsakfhaksf) I see black text on the theme's already dark background.
Another would be that opera buttons (the ones on webpages) are pretty whiteish, and the text color in this case is taken from the KDE color scheme and it's white text on a very light background.

BTW I'm using KDE 4.2, I'm pretty new to KDE tho

Edit: oh, and another problem, text highlight on white background results in the same white highlight, so no visible effect.

These would be theming bugs relating to Opera's usage of Qt Colours. Unless Qt provides a way to override theming for a specifc application, there is no way other than setting a theme that does work.

This behavior is in ALL qt-only applications... if its texmaker, quassel, psi or opera doesnt matter...

Then it is probably because of the way KDE is forced to use the limited palette sections provided to it by Qt. Most KDE applications use KPalette, which has the correct colours. You may wish to report this as a bug in the relevant Colour Scheme.

Funny thing, I got opera to use it's default theme by switching the KDE "force DPI" settings in appearance. Got this to work twice, but as soon as I change some more stuff it goes back to the dark backgrounds.

I have tried tweaking the stuff in opera:config, but no luck, even after I set backgrounds to white, I still get black inputs.

Is there any workaround? Maybe a way to make opera (or ANY QT app?) use another QT theme?

SOLVED. If anyone else has this problem, check my last post at
