[BUG] Font color on Desktop Client Linux in Dark mode

[pcace]

Hi there, i am using Nextcloud Desktop-Client 3.12.1 on PopOS 23.10 (GNOME 43 or 44).
When using the Client in dark mode:

it seems that the Nextcloud client gets the background color from the GNOME environment, but not the font color, so in dark mode it looks like this:

...wich is kind of annoying not to be able to read anything here.

it would be awesome to have the font color corrected here.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I have the same issue, but this effect is even more drastic for error messages which are white on yellow, so not readable at all.

Personally I would consider this as a bug, because it is not even visible that there should be an error which one could see if the dark mode is disabled.

I am on Ubuntu Mate 22.04 LTS.

Despite the bug, thanks for the great work :-)

For me part of the font and graphics are not readable at all, independent of display mode (dark or bright).

Hm, it does not change anything for me. Nextcloud was installed via Flatpak tho.
Any Other idea?

[camilasan]

3.14.1 do i have to switch to beta or daily channel?

@camilasan thank you, okay i updated manually. Update function not working correctly. Normally it does.

tadaaaaaaaa

damn it, even if i disable dark mode it is not usable. please just put a setting where you can select and force normal mode and dark mode. somehow he choose the wrong colors. or a color picker where you can choose. something to make this adjustable.

With my win 11 22h2 VM it looks ok, my win10 22h2 looks ugly as above:

Same here on windows. It's unsuable. I installed the last usuable version: "Nextcloud-3.13.3-x64.msi".

Where did you get that version? I can find source files, but no binaries.

as long as it isn't fixed natively ( HREY; WE TALK ABUT THE WINDOWS CLINET HERE!!)
you can start the nextcloud client with a parameter ..
"C:\Program Files\Nextcloud\nextcloud.exe" -platform windows:darkmode=1

this switches the qt to disobey the darkmode settings. this
a similar fix is used for the wireshark in windows darkmode that looks really horrible
there are more switches to the qt stuff -..read here https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qguiapplication.html#platform-specific-arguments
