[Solved] Artix XFCE Wrong colors on some windows

Hello,

I tested Artix for a year on VirtualBox before installing it on three PCs.

On the XFCE version, I noticed that some windows show wrong colors when I choose the Adwaita theme.

For example in some configuration windows such as Gimp preferences, the text appears black on a black background, and Gimp's System theme looks the same ...

Ditto for Dolphin, which I add to XFCE4, the icons background is black instead of light gray, with black text :-/
To work around, you have to edit ~/.config/kdeglobals and modify modify:
[Colors: View]
BackgroundNormal = 220,220,220


Finally, I found a "nag" type solution: Reinstall all the packages present.
sudo pacman -S $ (pacman -Qnq)

After this "cure", all the colors are correct everywhere ... on condition of commenting in / etc / environment the two lines:
# QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME = gtk2
# QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE = gtk

Hi @tintin

Actually the only necessary line at /etc/environment, after setting the theme with qt5ct is
Code: [Select]
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct

Regards
