Summary0001440: Ardour2 Beta 11.1 - KDE vs Gnome - Cleaarlooks Theme
DescriptionWhen loading Ardour2 Beta 11.1 from KDE there appears to be a theme related problem. When opening a project using the browse feature, I see a black background with black text. This makes it difficult to browse for a project or file. The same thing happens when trying to load a plugin. I cannot read them because they are all black text on a black background. I have mentioned this in the IRC channel but I did want to formalize the bug. I'm still a noob in the linux world and this could be something I;m doing wrong but Ardour version 1 did not have the same problem.

The supporting doc shows what happens when loading from KDE vs Gnome.

You need to go into the KDE control panel and enable "Apply KDE theme to non-KDE apps". In my humble opinion, KDE's behaviour is broken, but there's nothing we can do about that.

sorry, "Apply KDE colors to non-KDE apps".

I just ran svn update and scons. When running Ardour2 in KDE - FC5 I get this message from the terminal window:

Loading ui configuration file /usr/local/etc/ardour2/ardour2_ui.rc
theme_init() called from internal clearlooks engine
/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:52: error: unexpected identifier `scr ollbar_color', expected character `}'
theme_init() called from internal clearlooks engine

Before running svn update and scons I also received this message. I have checked files ardour2_ui.rc and gtkrc for a missing } but the matched up fine.

"Apply KDE colors to non-KDE apps" was enabled. I had to uncheck the value for the colors to look normal.

Unchecking that option seems to have corrected the issue. Agreed that this is probably a KDE problem.

Ok to close out the issue.

see notes.

it would be nice to fix this inside ardour, but i don't see how to.
