Layers white color background.

[Enrique Barranco]

I only use dark themes for working and the new feature has a white background color that doesn't behave like the rest of vpaint, and I can't read my layers using any dark theme.

I try to explain better in this video.

Thanks for the report! Indeed, I hard-coded the layers widget background to be white (it's a custom-made Widget, unlike the other buttons, text edits, etc., which are provided by Qt), I didn't think about this problem. Hopefully it should be easy to fix, I just have to look at the implementation of other widgets and do the same as they do.

Hey @ebarranco, just curious, which Linux distro + version of Qt do you use to compile VPaint, and how exactly do you compile and run the program (via QtCreator, command-line, etc...)?

Because I'm on Kubuntu 18.04, and when I change the color scheme in the KDE Settings, I have to restart VPaint to see the changes, while in other apps (Settings, Dolphin) the changes are applied instantly, and I see that in your video the changes are applied instantly to VPaint too.

I compile through Qt Creator (I don't think this matters), and compiling against either Qt 5.6.2 or Qt 5.11.1, and running VPaint either via Qt Creator or via the command-line (./Gui/VPaint), I can't get the color scheme to be applied instantly to VPaint like you do.

This, of course, is an independent issue than the white background.

Alright, this should be now fixed :)

Thanks @dalboris ! Yeap it works.
I'm on Linux 4.19.1-1 Manjaro (18.0) KDE Edition, plasmashell 5.14.3, QMake version 3.1 Using Qt version 5.11.2 in /usr/lib. I build from vpaint-git in arch repositories

Thanks @ebarranco for the additional info. Ok, I'll just assume that Manjaro handles things a bit differently than Kubuntu then.
