Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):
Please help me with solving this, I don’t know exaclty when and why this has changed on my desktop, but it is very annoying:
I have done what you suggested, but it wasn’t successful.
I have also created a new user, log in to his session and there was a proper view with white labels, also a qt theme looks different than on my old user. So I have started to copy and overwrite ~/.config/ files related to KDE, plasma, QT etc from a new user home directory to the old one. Unfortunately it was not helpful either. Then I have remove everything from ~/.cache/ directory, but still themes mismatch occurs.
It must be related to some other files, maybe outside of user home folder, but related only to that user ? I have also noticed different qt layout, colors and checkboxes styles between those two users.
If we will not figure this out I will just do migration other files to a newly created user account and then remove the old one, but it would be nice to figure it out how plasma/qt is managing those styles.
Mine don’t look like that. Not accusing in any way, but something changed and it will be a lot easier to fix if you know what happened and maybe when?
Also, this is one of those times where it is a good thing to have a membership over at the KDE forums. It is their software and they have experts. Just sayin’.
Yeah You are right, also backups etc.
I remember 2 things that I changed recently, which could be related. Last ROME update with Plasma 6 bugfix version - but I have been updating also my virtual machine with OMLx ROME and that was fine.
Another thing was installing qt6ct package, running it and changing some fonts and styles inside - so this was probably causing this effect, maybe something was applied after a reboot and onbly then it was noticeable. So probably there is some bug related to using qt6ct and Plasma 6 Configuration Tool regarding styles, fonts or colors together which can break this.
As it must be something at user level, since with a new user is fine, you may try renaming your ~/.config directory (rename not delete so you have a backup).
I’d suggest to do it outside of plasma desktop after logout, like in failsafe xsession or so.
While at it. I’d also clear the plasma cache.
Reboot.
Yep, I have tried this too, but didn’t solve those… but going further I have started to review other config files in home directory and found this environment variable defined in .bashrc:
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct
removing this solved this issue! I am trying to figure out how it was added here. Maybe very long time ago and wasn’t doing anything because I didn’t have qt6ct installed before.
Thank You @rugyada for your patience and help!
