[gentoo-user] Updated world -> KDE colours have gone feral....

[Andrew Lowe]

Hi all,
	A few days ago I did an "emerge -NuD world" on my KDE based desktop 
machine. When I rebooted the machine, the colours had gone a bit weird. 
I use the Nordic scheme which is dark but now, for example, when I open 
Dolphin, the alternating horizontal stips/stripes that go from the 
dir/file name across through the Modified/Type/Size area have undergone 
a colour change with the lighter horizontal stripes now nearly the 
colour of the text hence I can't read every second row. Other 
applications also display this behaviour, it appears that the colour 
palette is being modified somehow!

	If I go into the "System Settings" and change the "Global Theme" to 
something else, say "Breeze Dark", apply, then change back to Nordic, 
hey presto the colours are back as they should be. Reboot and the dodgy 
colours are back, go to "System Settings".....rinse, repeat......

	Anyone have experience with this sort of problem? Is there a way to 
reset the palette? Is there a way to refresh/reset the theme? I don't 
have a whole series of customised keystrokes etc so if it's a case of 
just blowing away a config file/dir and then the system will reset 
itself, that's not a problem.

	Any thoughts are greatly appreciated,

		Andrew

I use the Norway scheme; it's a good compromise between all those popular, 
pallid schemes and a very dark scheme.

The Norway scheme has gone AWOL since the latest qt update. It leaves Konsole 
without any frame or title bar at all. I can get it back, as you do, but after 
merely logging out and in, it's gone again.
