Using XFCE on openSUSE tumbleweed, colors changed after the recent update that included Qt 5.15.
All Qt and KDE programs seem to be affected. It happens with Dolphin, VirtualBox, VLC, KID3, gwenview, strawberry, etc.
Running qt5ct and simply clicking “apply” and the problem is gone I restart the program.
Here is how it looks:
After clicking “apply”, it looks normal again, but it only lasts until I close it and reopen it.
Tried to remove ~/.qt and ~/.config/qt5ct does not help. Same thing with a different user profile.
Dolphin Example:
Clicking “Apply” in qt5ct while the program is running and the colors are normal until I restart the program.
Some highlight colors are dark blue, almost purple.
KDE program crash frequently, but non-KDE Qt programs does not. For example Spectacle right now does not work at all when I tried to do screenshots to attach here.
