Issue is visual and I don't see anything in the logs that is relevant. If truly needed, I'll post a full (but redacted) version on request.

Current Behavior

The inline result of a query on the input line is the same font color/weight/opacity as the query itself.

Expected Behavior

I would expect the result to have a lesser hierarchy visually, for example by making it more transparent than the query or by changing its color.

Is that "default dark"?

here:

j0hnm4r5 commented 20 hours ago

Yes, but it does the same thing with every theme.

If I had to guess, it's maybe a Wayland issue? Like it's just not rendering transparency there? You can see some weirdness with the shadows on the last screenshot too.

Is your system palette broken? https://github.com/albertlauncher/plugins/blob/main/widgetsboxmodel/src/inputline.cpp#L66 Uses placeholder role. the placeholder should not have the same color as text

ManuelSchneid3r commented 20 hours ago

I a ubuntu 24.04 vm

check your palette. are other apps affected as well? does the system plugin settings (has a lot of placeholders) widget have the same issue?

j0hnm4r5 commented 20 hours ago

Any good way to check that? I tried changing the system theme to a bunch of different option, dark and light, to no avail.

Running this script returns #000000 for both the text and placeholder text:

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget
from PyQt5.QtGui import QPalette

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = QWidget()

# Check the system color for placeholder text
placeholder_color = window.palette().placeholderText().color()
text_color = window.palette().text().color()
print("Placeholder text color:", placeholder_color.name())  # Outputs the hex color
print("Text color:", text_color.name())  # Outputs the hex color

window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

This is a qt bug

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-92199?jql=text%20~%20%22placeholder%20stylesheet%22

your 6.2.4 seems to be affected. i cant do anything here. time for a dist upgrade. regards
