Toggling "dark theme variant" doesn't update inactive tabs
Last modified: 2016-02-21 14:20:38 UTC
Have g-t with multiple tabs, each with a profile that has enabled Profile prefs -> Colors -> Use colors from system theme. Toggle g-t's global Preferences -> Use dark theme variant. All the currently visible windows and tabs are updated. Switch to another tab. Notice that this tab still uses the old theme variant's fg/bg colors; the opposite of what it should use. The given tab is repaired when the window loses/gains focus. All other tabs still remain broken until once they're the active on a focus change.
ChPe, could you please take this one? I'm totally lost in the maze of signals and can't see what the right approach would be :)
Hmm. With all the problems this setting causes, I'm tempted to just remove it.
:D ... and let Fedora patch their g-t or give up on dark terminal? More important things (like word chars, easy title setting) were already removed, so I won't shed a tear for it. Although it would be cool if it worked, some people might find it cool to have the look that's shipped by F21. Is there a low-level hack (adding a couple of lines to gtk.css) that would bring back this look for experts?
The setting was brought back, so I'm wondering if this is still reproducible? If so, it would likely be a gtk+ bug, cause being a missing style-updated signal (the handler of that signal is where we update our colours to match the theme).
Let's call this OBSOLETE unless someone can still repro.
