[X2Go-Dev] Font colour in x2goclient in case of dark system theme

[Milan Knížek]

Hello,

the x2goclient has hardcoded light appearance for the various widgets
(main window, session list, login window, progress of logging in),
which does not work well with dark system theme: the white font is not
distinquishable from the background.

I have checked the Qt documentation and there seems to be more ways
on how to accomplish that. So far, I have used three various methods:

  labelname->setStyleSheet("QLabel { color : black; }");

or

  cpal.setColor ( QPalette::Text, Qt::black);

or

  QString fonttemplate=("<font color='black'>%1</font>");
  nameLabel->setTextFormat ( Qt::RichText );
  nameLabel->setText ( fonttemplate.arg( text ) );

which kind of works, though it requires to be written repeatedly
throughout the code (sessionbutton.cpp, onmainwindow.cpp,
onmainwindow_part4.cpp) for individual widgets and so far I am not able
to use a single approach for all widget types (QLabel, QMenu,
QPushButton, etc.). The first method seems to be the most general and
simplest, however.

Is there a way to set application-wide font colour for anything
that appears in the widgets, but not in app menu and other windows
(Settings, Session Settings, etc.), because these are styled with the
system-wide dark theme?

Where in the code?

P.S. Sorry for possibly stupid question, but since I am not a coder, it
is rather a trial & error approach and a lot of googling...

Regards,
Milan
