The plasma has a dark theme and that of course effect dolphin the problem is, the dark theme works completely fine when I'm using plasma however when I use bspwm both background color and text color becomes black: https://i.ibb.co/X72m3K0/blackness.png Is there a way to fix this?

Maybe change theme? Or actually ask the bspwm devs where the problem is?

Dolphin works fine with Plasma themes, so this is likely a problem with the WM. It should be possible to use the Plasma theme colors on other WMs without them overriding it


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

It is unlikely that bspwm folk look into this due to problems happening in dolphins part.

That's the odd part, it looks perfect in plasma, with completely black borders and white text. In my knowledge, I can not use different themes between different wms.
Is there really no fix?

Obviously the WM is overriding the Plasma theme, which simply should not happen, and they fail to provide a theme that allows to use applications form other Linux desktops. This is definitely not Dolphins fault, as this is very likely to also happen with other applications using Qt or GTK themes on this WM.
