Filedialog unreadable

[AnjaRy]

I use this theme for an application on Linux. In both, dark and light mode, it is impossible to read the filenames in the filedialog boxes, as they are white foreground on white background. After selection, they appear black. Is there an easy solution to this I can use?

Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to fix this, even after a couple of years.

Here are similar issues in my other repositories for reference: https://github.com/rdbende/Sun-Valley-ttk-theme/issues/104 https://github.com/rdbende/Azure-ttk-theme/issues/53 https://github.com/rdbende/Azure-ttk-theme/issues/35

u can try add black foreground after theme init:

# Set the initial theme
self.root.tk.call('source', 'Gui/Theme/forest-dark.tcl')
ttk.Style().theme_use('forest-dark')

# add this
self.root.option_add('*foreground', 'black')

or just use light theme)

Thanks for the suggestion, this would solve the problem in the filedialogbox; However, it makes more problems, as now the menulist and some other elements are not readable anymore....

Is there an option to change the background of the filedialogbox?

I want to offer both options to the users in the end, so this does not really solve my problem

yes, I know. but I would say at least more readable in menulist than in the filedialog boxes previously.

I don't know...
