Changing contrast text in its box[Solved]

Postby AnalogueMan » Thu Apr 27, 2017 8:18 pm

Have to confess that I do not know if this has something to do with my O.S. (LinuxOS KDE5-Plasma)
or that I can do this with modifying something in Inkscape 0.92:

When hoovering over an icon, for instance an icon in the ToolBox, the function of the icon (for instance "Draw freehand lines")
appears in a box as text. But the contrast between text and the background of the box is almost gone.
So I find difficulty to read it.
Is there a way to change this? Or do I have to change something in my distros appearance?

Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/

Yes, the one from the last comment in the link should do the trick for you, AnalogueMan. (More recent, but identical: https://answers.launchpad.net/inkscape/+question/608567)

tylerdurden and Moini,

That was the solution for my Linux KDE5-plasma desktop!! :D
In my linux KDE4 desktop there is no such option as "Apply colors to non-Qt applications" but
instead there is "Apply colors to non-KDE4" applications and that possibility
is still checked giving no Inkscape problem at all. But anyway,
thank you both very much for your quick responses solving this annoying problem.
