font color problem

[TAforever]

Today I compiled waybar-git and on most modules the color began to match the color of the background. Version 0.9.13 does not have this problem.

Here is version 0.9.13

This happens with the default style as well:

Related to issue #1726?

[danielrparks]

Looks like it's related. I bisected it to b8322c4 which is from the same PR referenced in that issue (#1120 ). Note that for me, this is affecting even non-custom modules.

label:disabled,
button:disabled {
  color: inherit;
  background-image: none;
}

It seems like any module that does not have an "on-click" value in the config shows up as a disabled button. The above fixed this issue for me. Alternatively, you can add "on-click": "true", and it should pick up existing button styles.

Thanks tpeacock19 ...

Appending "on-click"; "true" to the config file helped to resolve the 'memory' module's font color for me whereas altering the 'style.css' with the provided suggestions didn't.

Decided to drop the "custom-menu" module as it's no longer supported it seems.

Kind regards,

This fixed my issue 👍

@pinselimo Can we add something like in #1738 to handle this issue?

that improves it, but the colors are still muted. As if maybe opacity is lowered as well

[tpeacock19]

I've found a more robust solution that may work for you. You'll have to add all: unset as the first declaration in these two rules:

button {
  all: unset;
  ...[other css declarations]...
}
label {
  all: unset;
  ...[other css declarations]...
}

The all: unset rules seems to put everything back to default. It should cover all variations between themes.

3cf027f Should fix the pb
Can someone try?

The change happened, but still there is an error.

Same problem here. Waybar 0.9.13 vs 0.9.15

• Arch
• Sway WM

[danielrparks]

I'm still having the same problem with the default style as well.

[Alexays]

And with 92cc01f?

[ChrisLane]

And with 92cc01f?

Just installed git package at that point in history. Seems to be fixed.

[danielrparks]

I still have the same problem with 92cc01f .

[TAforever]

And with 92cc01f?

Returned to the previous state.

[Alexays]

And with latest one 3030850?
Sorry for the mess..

Still grey.

[roland-5]

So with last commit, battery icon changed and with it, it's color to white. :P

[danielrparks]

The latest commit didn't work for me either.

For the sake of interest, I decided to launch river with waybar in BSPWM and there is no such problem there. Maybe this information will be useful to you.

[TAforever]

And so: by experience, I realized that the problem lies in the GTK theme. For some reason, the font color started to depend on the theme. I installed the Gruvbox-Material-Dark theme instead of Qogir-dark as I have in BSPWM and there is no problem with the font.

Yes, I'm not sure there can be a solution implemented by Waybar since I imagine the theme will be applied after its loaded. The all: unset should be in the default configuration and perhaps highlighted in the wiki as a fix for this issue.

@Alexays this seems to be the solution to the problem.

[danielrparks]

Indeed, adding

* {
    all: unset;
}

to my configuration causes it to start working at 92cc01f.

Sorry about that! It didn't occur to me that my gtk theme would be applied after waybar's style changes.

Closed as reverted
