By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Attachments:	Patch to change Akregator text color for New feeds

Description Darrell 2013-11-03 13:51:46 CST

Akregator uses red colored text to identify newly fetched feeds that have not been viewed. When using f.lux/xflux, an app to reduce computer monitor blue light during non-daylight hours, which then shifts the overall display to a reddish tint, the red text becomes difficult to read. (Read more online why reducing blue light during non-daylight hours is desirable by many people.)

Solutions include changing the red color or provide UI options to allow users to configure their own color selections.

Patch to change Akregator text color for New feeds

Note: in tdepim/akregator/src/articlelistview.cpp:181 there is an old FIXME comment to make colors configurable. :-)

I'm attaching a workaround patch, changing the color from red to darkRed. For me the color is not the best but is improved during f.lux/xflux daylight and non-daylight hours. Opinions of other users might vary.

Trying to find the best color is a challenge because each patch change is hard-coded and requires rebuilding tdepim. The best long-term solution is to allow user configuration.

KAlarm has a color configuration dialog for text colors that likely can be copied in large part to Akregator.

redshift is another such program that removes blue light during evening/night.

Not needed

Fixed in GIT hash faf3722 (tdepim).  Akregator now allows read and unread text colors to be set, and updates the tray icon text color and all other GUI elements to match.

Thanks for reporting!

Updates look nice. Thanks.
