[Upstream] Ambiance wrong color for text toolbar buttons in LibreOffice

[Pavel Zahradník]

With Ambiance theme, text toolbar buttons in LibreOffice are colored as disabled (even when they are enabled). With Radiance theme their color seems correct.

See attachment with screenshot taken from LibreOffice Calc Preview

In Print-Preview-Mode in Writer or Calc the "Close Preview"-Button is active, but greyed out.

Cannot confirm:

Ubuntu 14.10 x64
LibreOffice 4.4.1.2 rc

same issue as the other bugs?

[Raal (raal)]

I can confirm with Version: 4.4.2.0.0+
Build ID: 3e3f0f5c3051ea982f8f753e0f3e51441e8f9496
TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@46-TDF, Branch:libreoffice-4-4, Time: 2015-02-22_10:24:01
Probably same root cause as in bug 85990

[Adolfo Jayme Barrientos (fitojb)]

This is an upstream regression, see https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89760

@raal: Thanks for bisecting this one. If you have another minute at some point, could you possibly check if the two linked bugs (bug 86774 and bug 85990) come from the same commit (i.e. are duplicates) ?

No need to go through the whole bisection again, just checkout source-hash-0ed0974298992ae871a8fbe79f856cf2588aeec6 and check the behaviour, then checkout HEAD~1 (the commit before the current commit) and compare.

Could you please look into this issue? This regression is still affecting recent builds.

[Joeyisdamanya (joeyisdamanya)]

I also encountered this issue. Since the author of commit causing this regression has said he does not have time to support his patch, it should be reverted until he can.

Having personas apply to customized toolbars would be nice. But that’s purely an aesthetic improvement for users that customize their UI. Michael's enhancement breaks the DEFAULT toolbar for everyone and he has stated he cannot support it.

Unsupported, broken patches should be reverted.

[Meta-dev (meta-dev)]

Sry, for my absence.
I think i can try to fix it next week. Just have to resetup my development environment.

[Jmadero-dev (jmadero-dev)]

Just FYI - this isn't how the project works. Sometimes the fix has fixed something more serious than the regression so we don't have an "automatically revert" policy. Nor do we have a "demand volunteers do X" policy.

[Luke (lukebenes)]

[Template Manager] "New Folder" button is also greyed out. The Ubuntu bug report also lists more examples outside of print preview. Review duplicates and see also, for further details.

The common theme seems to be buttons that use text instead of icons suffer from this regression.

[Luke (lukebenes)]

Also these only affect dark desktop themes. If you change the theme from Ambiance to Radiance, the text buttons will not be greyed out.

[Meta-dev (meta-dev)]

can't reproduce it with Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela

tried dark and bright desktop themes, cinnamon and kde desktops

Michael Jaumann,
If your distro supports GTK3, you must:

$ SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk ./soffice

I can still reproduce this bug with a recent build,

"Close Preview" is still greyed out

[Luke (lukebenes)]

It's not just the 'Close Preview' button. Multiple UI elements throughout are affected. Other examples include
File > Templates > Manage > "New Folder"

[Cno (cno)]

setting priority to high
It makes not only bad visibility of the controls but more important a bad presentation on an important OS, lasting 1.5 year now, so as if a neat UI is not important.

> seems to work for me with that in place

I don't see any improvement - see attachment

[Adolfo Jayme Barrientos (fitojb)]

@Cor: I think you should install the “libreoffice-gtk3” package… The Ambiance theme should be usable with GTK+3 LibreOffice since Ubuntu 16.10.

[Caolanm (caolanm)]

If you've still got a problem, then I need to know the details of the platform you are running on because there are significant differences in how themes work in gtk3 between < 3.20 and >= 3.20. I'm assuming Ubuntu, so...

lsb_release -a
and
dpkg -l libgtk-3-0

Caolán,
This is NOT a gtk3 specific issue. As I said earlier, you must use:

$ SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk ./soffice

It's still not fixed with Build ID: e64ea98801d20e5024da900a0ac8faaf565f4bf3 on 16.04.

[Caolanm (caolanm)]

ah right. gtk2 problem remains of course. I suppose the real problem then is using the menubar color inside a toolbox. We should add a ToolbarTextColor I guess and pull the font from a native toolbarbutton

[Luke (lukebenes)]

After
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=739c9780f003bf2628713f04d6e0d20451f14dfb

It looks like the gtk3 issue is back.

[Caolanm (caolanm)]

That suggests that the problem is simply that the menubar font color is used instead of the toolbar font color, so we need to add a ToolFontColor and use it instead of using the menufontcolor in the toolbar

[Caolanm (caolanm)]
