Help? CQRLOG not playing well with KDE Dark Mode

I'm running CQRLOG under Fedora Linux with KDE.

When I have KDE in dark mode (Using Breeze / Breeze Dark), The window and label text are dark background / light text. However, all the buttons and text entry fields have a light grey background and white text.

See here for how the main window, log window and the settings look: https://imgur.com/a/DKKMcWx

This makes it difficult to use. I've been looking thru posts on this, but haven't managed to get it fixed. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Help? CQRLOG not playing well with KDE Dark Mode

HI!
Cqrlog is not originally designed for dark mode and it seems that every Linux desktop handles dark mode a bit different way.

I see you are running the official (and old) version of Cqrlog. Maybe you should try to upgrade it to CqrlogAlpha.
Look at https://github.com/OH1KH/CqrlogAlpha/tree/main/compiled
Yo find there file newupdate.zip Click it and then select at right top side of window the download icon (together with Raw and copy icons)
After download extract the zip and start newupdate.sh using command console.

It will guide you through upgrade.
Maybe you should try QT5 or QT6 version from selection. I think they could work better with darkmode than GTK2 version.

If you choose either of them you shoud also install corresponding qt-pas library with dnf.
sudo dnf install qt5pas*
sudo dnf install qt6pas*

You can install both to get freedom to test either QT5 or QT6 version of CqrlogAlpha.

If you like to switch graphics version, just run the newupdate.sh again and select QT or GTK version you like to test next.
