GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 426651
Recoloring of search widgets is broken
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:56:01 UTC
The entry for the search is recolored to base[SELECTED] if a search is active. This is a good thing, but evolution seems to use the default style (from gtk_widget_get_default_style) for this instead of the one from the widget. Also in the Mail component, the combobox is recolored. This is not visible in most themes, but becomes visible if one sets the combobox into appears as list mode. A style to test could look like this: style "test" { GtkComboBox::appears-as-list = 1 base[SELECTED] = "#ff0000" } class "GtkWidget" style "test" With this style, the colour of the entry should be red. But the combobox to select what messages to show should still be normal.
Confirming the widget coloring. Not sure of what the combo box stuff about. Berg, can you help me out to understand?
Created attachment 87376 [details] combobox As you can see in this screenshot, the combobox gets its background set. But because the text is a separat widget its color is not updated. Oh, now I see it. It is not specific to the mail component. The color is never reset when the search is cleared. That said, I don't see a point in changing the base color of the combobox.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
