Oftentimes, this is even used as an accessibility feature. However, x2goclient does not correctly use the "background" color from the system color palette to draw text background, thus resulting in white text on white background (see attachment). This makes using x2goclient nearly impossible, as oftentimes I don't know what each button says (am I clicking "terminate" or "suspend"? I don't know, because it's unreadable...) For example, to reproduce the issue in KDE 4.x, do the following: Go to: "KDE system settings" -> "Application Appearance" -> "Colors" and select the "Obsidian Coast" setting and hit apply. Now start x2goclient (qt version). Any session boxes on the right will have white background, but also have a white-ish text. Similarly, when going to connect, the password-dialog and its buttons are unreadible (see attachment). I think there are two potential solutions: 1. Let all the text which is on top of hard-coded white background areas, to always use a hard-coded dark color. -or- 2. Use the system color's background instead of the current hardcoded white background to underlay the password/account boxes. Thanks & Keep up the good work!
