Kleopatra: Several problems with icons in high contrast modes
Open, NormalPublic

Description

With the dark high contrast modes there are some problems with the icon coloring. I tested this on Windows 10 with high contrast mode No. 1.

Wrong coloring of toolbar icons and text:


-> This is a bug in the Breeze style. With fusion style and windowsvista style icons and text have correct colors.

Wrong coloring of Close button icon:

Wrong/inconsistent coloring of disabled menu entry icons:

Wrong coloring of Close menu entry icon:

Wrong coloring of config module title:


-> This is a bug in the Breeze style. With fusion style and windowsvista style the title is yellow on black (as other text).

Wrong/bad coloring of icons:



-> With the dark high-contrast color schemes the success/error icon has very bad contrast (white on yellow). This is a general problem of the Breeze icons in combination with automatic icon coloring.

The wrong/inconsistent coloring of the icons has been fixed.

With the above patch for breeze the toolbar and the configuration dialog title now also look correct in high-contrast mode.
