Description of problem: Checkboxes in browser chrome are very hard to see. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-1.5.0.4-1.2.fc5 kdelibs-3.5.3-0.4.fc5 kdeartwork-3.5.3-0.1.fc5 (up to date FC5 system) I think this only applies to GTK builds of firefox, but I'm not sure. I've tried a few different colour schemes but checkboxes such as the "Use my choice for all cookies from this site" one on the cookie dialog are checked in a very light colour (the Selected Text colour from my chosen KDE colour scheme) that doesn't stand out against the background. The check should be made bolder or otherwise more visible, or should not use the selected text colour. This could be due to some config setup on my system, rather than a general problem, but it seems to be a problem on any themes I use. I currently have the Keramik theme and KDE Default colour scheme, which results in very light blue checks on a white background. See attached image, where the checkbox is checked, but very hard to see at a glance.
Created attachment 132860 [details] image showing barely visible check
Created attachment 132861 [details] another example of hard to see checks Here is another example, this time from the WebDevelopers Toolbar extension (which uses the same themes) and it is very hard to make out which boxes are ticked because of the very light blue.
Fedora Core 5 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora Core 6, or Fedora 7, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know in this bug report. If after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX. Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter. Thanks in advance.
reproduced with an up-to-date FC6 $ rpm -q firefox firefox-1.5.0.12-1.fc6 firefox-1.5.0.12-1.fc6 both screenshots are still valid, I can provide new ones if desired but there's not a lot of point, the colours are the same what other info do you need? I don't know if this is a firefox, GTK, KDE or soemthing else issue.
Created attachment 159569 [details] gtk widgets it does seem to be a GTK thing, this is from the gtk-demo application provided by gtk2-2.10.13-1.fc6 - so not specific to firefox Running KDE, with Keramic theme. I have no idea what gtk theme. If I uncheck the "apply colors to non-KDE applications" box in Control Centre, under Appearances & Themes -> Colours then the gtk widgets are much more visible, so it seems to be an interaction between Qt and gtk ... ?
Probably just using a poor gtk theme. Sending to gtk to help figure this out, but my guess is the answer is choose a different theme.
Yeah, choose a different theme, please
ok. I didn't pick this one in the first place, but will change it.
