Almost illegible text in some (Gtk?) apps

Help

On my system, some apps have colors that make it almost impossible to read anything. This is a fresh install of Fedora 40 KDE with the Breeze Dark theme.

For example:

GIMP:

FreeFileSync:

I think this may be related to KDE neon - Plasma 6 upgrade broke Breeze dark theme in Gtk Apps

But I double-checked my plasma-integration version:

$ dnf info plasma-integration

How can I remedy this?

It is not even just Gtk, Qtcreator search field is also concerned.

The color theme must be fixed, there is no way around it.

We need to Identify which colors should be changed, from being light to dark.
We have a theme used to debug that has different colors for every thing or close to, can’t remember its name.

Feel free to report a bug to https://bugs.kde.org for breeze.

Gimp and FreeFileSync still use GTK2 widgets,

Make sure your file ~/.gtkrc-2.0 contains at least the following lines:

gtk-theme-name="Breeze-Dark"
gtk-icon-theme-name="breeze-dark"

This happens in normal KDE apps as well such as the digital clock, when trying to change the font.

I went into the Carl color themes colors I’m using. Only text is set to white. So I’m not sure where to look to fix it.

It’s a weird issue, bug report for it is here 487387 – Use of unstyled Qt font selector dialogs constitutes a visual and usability regression
