Please report non-major problems that are not openSUSE-specific directly upstream at http://bugs.kde.org (http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:KDE#Report_at_bugzilla.novell.com_or_bugs.kde.org.3F). This happens with a new user/virgin settings (deleted $HOME/.kde*, $HOME/.config & more at startup) in M7, so should be fixed in openSUSE. Neither is it minor. Except for within an open application's object on the panel, there is no visible text on the panel anywhere. 'zypper in kdebase4-workspace-branding-upstream' produced a slight improvement in the clock visibility, but worsened the open application objects, making their text functionally invisible. Read comment #1 again. (In reply to comment #4) > Read comment #1 again. Because this bug contains no reference to any upstream bug, the way I read comment 0 and the "resolved upstream" resolution, we can expect 11.3 to be released with a default unreadable clock, as well as alternate themes with unreadable clocks. "This happens" is not a very good description if you meant to say that your clock is black on black right after starting a new desktop session for a new user, because I understood "this" as "this bugreport including the steps to reproduce". Either way, M7 works just fine here for a new user, so I need a way to reproduce. I have installed a fresh opensuse 11.3 on my acer-one.
When starting kde first time all looks ok, but after some logings, kicker went black and the clock still is black.
I tried changing the color by system_Configuration->detailed_Design and selection one of the available kicker designs:
Aya Kickoff
Air for NEtbooks Kickoff
AIR openSUSE Kickoff
Whatever i do, always kicker changes to a light gray color, so the clock is readable. Anyhow, after rebooting the system kicker is black again.
I can confirm this problem. But I think it has nothing to do with the background color. If I resize the taskbar a little bit smaller as the screen width taskbar turn back to light grey color. Hope this help to find the real reason. Same here. The taskbar went dark when I switched off the desktop effects (and logged off and on again) I can confirm that adjusting the height of the taskbar as suggested in comment 8 switches it back to light grey. Alternatively, switching desktop effects on does the same. I did not change the height of taskbar, I changed the width and saved this setting. After saving the taskbar is allways light grey in case of my. Please try this out to compare. I know its no solution. Norman, You are right. Sorry I didn't read your comment carefully enough. Resizing the taskbar to be smaller than the actual width of the screen leaves it light-grey. Looks actually quite nice... Just found this, duping to newer bug# as it is already in the maintenance planning. The root cause is the same and the fix can be tested by installing KDE:Distro:Stable 's KDE 4.4.4 in the OBS. If you just want a workaround, replace kdebase4-runtime-branding-openSUSE with kdebase4-runtime-branding-upstream. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 623459 *** |
