screenshot of the problem.

Hob display does not work well with high contrast desktop.

For that matter, bugzilla is not so great either.

Running KDE reverse/high contrast oxegen theme.

See attachment.

Right, the RunningBuild colour values are hard coded - I think we should be able to pull colour values from the gtk+ theme to rectify this.
Comment 2 Joshua Lock - Disabled 2012-02-06 13:55:43 UTC 
Guidance on getting appropriate colour values from the Gtk+ theme:

Josh, did we fix it in Hob 2? I don't know how to reproduce it and which distribution I should install.

Sadly the new Hob has even more hard coded values so I'd expect not.
Comment 6 T OCallaghan 2012-04-02 06:42:02 UTC 
You should be able to emulte this in any distro by using a high contrast theme.
 The original issue was reported on a Fedora 14 KDE Desktop. I have had the
same issues under Kubuntu, though not quite as bad.

See attached image for my current work KDE theme configuration as an example. I
have moved distros to  Centos 6.2, but have the same theme. I tried to take a
hob 1.2_m4 screenshot, but hob seems to be broken at the moment (#2207).

Hi,
Is there an update regarding this bug?

Thanks,
Alex.

Hi Alex,

Bug 2584 has been opened to eliminate all GUI hard-coded values and play nicely with the theme applied in the Hob host. One we have a fix for 2584, we should test the high contrast theme again to see if the problem has been solved.

Cheers

Belen

Hello QA, Belen,

Can this be retested?

Hob uses now the host theme.

Preliminary testing of Hob in a High-contrast theme looks OK.

Thanks,
Cristian

Just tried it with HighContrastTheme on Ubuntu 11.10. Still some issues with certain fonts and the action bar at the top (are we using a background image?). 

I am reopening this bug: hopefully the screenshot helps.

At this point, work will take place on toaster, not hob, so marking as won't fix.
