After setting the color scheme to dark in dolphin everytime i launch dolphin again the text looks like it changed back to the light mode text. i need to set the scheme to light then back to dark for it to be the proper text color. attached image is a screenshot of it right after opening
After changing it to dark, did you log out and back in before testing this? Often theme changes aren’t applied fully until you log out and back in.
It happens after rebooting. I am using hyprland (probibly should have said that in my first message) and i dont really have a way to logout right now to test if that helps.
That is going to make a big difference to troubleshooting.
I’ve not used Hyprland nor know how it’s theming engine works but I suspect this will be a Hyprland issue.
i dont think that hyprland (or at least my setup) would affect it sense the hyprland config file doesnt affect theming at all. so the only things that would affect it is a messed up GTK theme (which i am using the defaults for that) or an issue with dolphin. just to check i also installed plasma to test it and is still giving the same issue.
I faced the same problem in Niri and I found that using the graphical qt6 configuration tool along with creating a etc/environment file and adding QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct to the file fixed the text issues I faced and used the correct colour and style theme that I set in the configuration tool.
This is an enviroment variable that the qt6 configuration tool will complain about if you launch it without it being set.
You can also launch dolphin with the enviroment variable without creating the environment file by running it like this in the terminal if you wanna test to see if this works.
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct dolphin
Hope this helps
