When Menu changes of color by itself...

[Hoël]

Hello !

I think the title is quite a good summary of my problem : one of my menu changes of color alone, during the session, without any reason.

At the beginning of each session, he has the right color (light gray : #C2C2C2) and then, he becomes light blue : #8CB2DC.
I don't know why it changes neither when, maybe at the moment I make a change in the style.css file, but I haven't checked.
The color it takes is the button color set in the bespin configuration.
It may be a bug of BE::Shell or Bespin.

If anyone has any idea.

Thanks !

Can you specify "one of my menus"?
- Is it a menubar or a popup?
- Which one? One of the xml menus?

Can you in doubt make a screenshot of the menu (color is irrelevant)?
(ksnapshot has a delay which you want to use to shoot popup menus ;-)

Can you please attach your style.css?

Sorry I wanted to say it, but I forgot when I created the topic.
This is a Button menu, and more precisely the windowlist menu.

Here is its definition:

[WindowListButton]
Icon=start-here
Label=Windows
Menu=windowlist
Mode=0
Type=Button

My style.css has no reference to that menu, but here it is:

:::css
/*Panel Setting*/

#TopPanel {
    border-top-left-radius:12;
    border-top-right-radius:12;
}

/*Clock setting */

.BE--Clock {
    color:black;
    font-family:FreeMono;
    font-weight:bold;
    font-size:12;
    padding-right:6px;
    padding-left:6px;
    background:qradialgradient(cx:0.5, cy:0.5, fx:0.5, fy:0.5, radius: 0.5, stop:0 white, stop:0.7 rgba(254, 254, 254, 100), stop:1 rgba(254, 254, 254, 0))
}

.BE--Clock::hover {
    background:qradialgradient(cx:0.5, cy:0.5, fx:0.5, fy:0.5, radius: 0.5, stop:0 red, stop:0.7 rgba(254, 60, 60, 100), stop:1 rgba(254, 254, 254, 0))
}

/*Session Control setting*/

.BE--Session {
    color:black;
    font-family:FreeMono;
    font-weight:bold;
}

/*MenuBar*/

.BE--GMenu QMenuBar {
    font-family:Droid Serif;
    font-size: 8pt;
}


.BE--GMenu QMenuBar::item {
    background:qradialgradient(cx:0.5, cy:0.5, fx:0.5, fy:0.5, radius: 0.5, stop:0 white, stop:0.7 rgba(254, 254, 254, 100), stop:1 rgba(254, 254, 254, 0));
}

.BE--GMenu QMenuBar::item:selected {
    background:qradialgradient(cx:0.5, cy:0.5, fx:0.5, fy:0.5, radius: 0.5, stop:0 blue, stop:0.7 rgba(0, 120, 254, 100), stop:1 rgba(254, 254, 254, 0));
    color:white;
}

/*Battery*/

.BE--Battery {
    padding-top:4px;
    padding-bottom:4px;
    color:qlineargradient(x1:0.5, y1:0, x2:0.5, y2:1, stop:0 #303030, stop:1 #585858);
    selection-background-color:gray;
    padding-right:4px;
}

.BE--Battery[charge="low"] {
    selection-background-color:red;
}

/*.BE--Battery[charging="false"] {
    color: qlineargradient(x1:0.5, y1:0, x2:0.5, y2:1, stop:0 #303030, stop:1 #800000);
}*/


/*Correct window list bug*/
TODO

/*Be::Run Config*/
.BE--Run {
    background-color:red;
}

.BE--Run QTreeWidget {
    border:1px #A5C1E4;
    background-color:white;
    color:black;
    selection-background-color:#A5C1E4;
    selection-color:white;
    align:justify;
}

.BE--Run QTreeWidget QScrollBar {
    width:0px;
    height:0px;
    border: 0px;
    background-color: none;
    color: none;
}

.BE--Run QLineEdit {
    background-color:white;
    border:2px inset gray;
    color:black;
    padding:4px;
}

I attached the screenshot of the menu.

Thanks !

Bespin. What color role do you use for the popup menus? Highlight?

[Hoël]

No, Window color. And it has this color at the beginning. But sometimes it changes to the Button color.

I've just checked, this happens when I edit the style.css file. Even if I write nothing new (just added a new line).

[Thomas Luebking]

Altering the style.css causes a repolishment for the entire application, so bespin will also receive ::polish(QWidget*) for that menu.

I can see the problem, it's caused by https://sourceforge.net/p/cloudcity/code/1739/ which was introduced to workaround an issue caused by kmix (which adds a label and just "hopes" for no color problems)

I forgot that the default role for popup menus is button... ;-)

-> fixed by ensuring the roles are Window/Text (what kmix expects) in bespin/r1741

[Hoël]

Ok, I updated Bespin, if the bug doesn't happen anymore, I'll tell here.
I keep reporting if I see any other problem. ^^
Thanks !

[Hoël]

That's good ! I can ::polish whatever I want, my menu keeps the right color ! Thanks !
