[SOLVED] Some problem with font colors in some gtk3 application

Hi guys,

After last update there issue with NetworManager dialog font color and the same for gnome-keyring (I think )

Look at the screen shots:

Any ideas why this happens and how I can fix that?

P.S: Theme Orta. XFCE 4.10pre2

upd: This issue is related to supporting themes in gtk3 since there was a lot of changes in theme engine since gtk 3.4. Thus if you updated to gtk 3.4 please find themes which support this version of gtk. Enjoy!

upd2: Orbit is similar to Orta and have support of gtk3.4

Re: [SOLVED] Some problem with font colors in some gtk3 application

They're GTK3 programs. See "Depends On" from:

$ pacman -Qi network-manager-applet
$ pacman -Qi gnome-keyring

I don't know how Xfce changes themes, but maybe you can install and use lxappearance. Switch to the "Color" tab, uncheck "Use customized color scheme" and it will create this file (except with your theme, cursor, etc):

~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

[Settings]
# DO NOT EDIT! This file will be overwritten by LXAppearance.
gtk-theme-name = Prudence
gtk-icon-theme-name = Faenza
gtk-font-name = Arial 9
gtk-cursor-theme-name = Vanilla-DMZ
gtk-cursor-theme-size = 0
gtk-toolbar-style = GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS
gtk-toolbar-icon-size = GTK_ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR
gtk-button-images = 0
gtk-menu-images = 1
gtk-enable-event-sounds = 1
gtk-enable-input-feedback-sounds = 1
gtk-xft-antialias = 1
gtk-xft-hinting = 1
gtk-xft-hintstyle = hintfull
gtk-xft-rgba = none

Also, please try to be more descriptive with your post titles. Read this.

I have made a personal commitment not to reply in topics that start with a lowercase letter. Proper grammar and punctuation is a sign of respect, and if you do not show any, you will NOT receive any help (at least not from me).

Re: [SOLVED] Some problem with font colors in some gtk3 application

I've noticed this in gnome if I try various other themes since gtk 3.4. Problem seems to occur with themes that set light text at some point, text doesn't get set to black right. I think the theme format may have changed slightly since gtk 3.2 and the themes need updating.

Do you have this issue if you try Adwaita? It's in gnome-themes-standard, which I don't think is dependency-heavy if you've got gtk3 anyway.

Re: [SOLVED] Some problem with font colors in some gtk3 application

I ran in to this same problem.  The file you need to edit is the settings.ini file in your theme's gtk-3.0 directory.  Replace the light colors (#fff) with dark colors (#333), reload your theme, and you should be good.  Another option is to download the recently updated Zukitwo and copy his settings.ini to your theme's gtk-3.0 directory.

I hope this helps, or at least leads you in the right direction.

Since Orbit theme is similar to Orta I've install it and use it. Orbit theme was updated to support gtk 3.4.
