           Summary: don't hardcode colors or play with the palette in
                    ProcessWidget and derivatives
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-bugs kdevelop org
        ReportedBy: mwoehlke tibco com


Version:           3.3.9x (svn sync 2006-12-06) (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 3.4.3 20050227 (Red Hat 3.4.3-22.1) 
OS:                Linux

ProcessWidget is tinkering with its palette, causing two undesirable effects:

1. The colors it chooses for highlighting are commonly indistinguishable from the \
window background (i.e. in any scheme where background() == mid(), e.g. '[Digital] \
CDE', 'Dark Blue', 'Solaris', 'High Contrast Black')

2. Styles that draw using the highlight color draw incorrectly.

Additionally, hard-coding of colors as done by several parts (grepview, to name one) \
is A Bad Thing because they can be less than legible (or even outright invisible) in \
some color schemes (for a REALLY nasty example, consider the effect of using any of \
the 'High Contrast *' schemes).
