Description Raphael Groner 2012-07-01 11:24:59 CEST

Description of problem:
Gtk menus are rendered with bad grey or transparent colors since a recent update that I can't identify. Maybe it's libdrm, dunno. See attached sample screen shots. The font should be black, so how it gets when I moved the mouse over those menu items. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
yes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open any Gtk menu
2.
3.

Comment 3 Raphael Groner 2012-07-01 11:32:37 CEST

Well, if composition is disabled in Xfce's settings, menus are shown well, but of course without transparency.

Comment 4 Raphael Groner 2012-07-01 11:43:24 CEST

I detected that it happens only when the theme oxygen-gtk is active for Xfce.

Comment 5 Raphael Groner 2012-07-01 22:01:44 CEST

I think this is a release blocker due to the fact that the theme is unusable with that broken rendering.

Again: It happens only if composition is enabledand only with oxygen-gtk as the active theme, in Xfce. I can't say anything about KDE, Gnome, etc.

Priority: Normal => release_blocker

Comment 6 Hugo Pereira Da Costa 2012-07-01 22:08:46 CEST

I'll look into it. I think it is a conflict between the use of ARGB by xfce to enable menu transparency, and the way oxygen gtk uses ARGB to have bevel corners.
I have no idea of xfce's way to achieve transparency :(

Comment 7 Hugo Pereira Da Costa 2012-07-01 22:11:09 CEST

What happens if you disable transparency in xfce, (rendering things "opaque") without turning off compositing

Comment 8 Hugo Pereira Da Costa 2012-07-01 22:13:19 CEST

PS: conflict means: might not mean that it is oxygen-gtk's fault but possibly xfce.
Meaning: oxygen-gtk does not have this issue on any other desktop environment (kde, gnome, as far as I know).
Also: what is your graphics card.
Also: can anybody reproduce with a different graphics card

Comment 9 Hugo Pereira Da Costa 2012-07-01 22:25:37 CEST

I know nothing about xfce. How to I enable compositing and transparency ?

It seems here this (compositing) is not the default.
... so that I would not call it a release blocker, since the default appears perfectly usable here.

I played with the various transparency settings of Xfce, it doesn't change anything to the broken oxygen menu rendering. But a disabled composition fixes it (removing the checkbox marker).
It could well be that there's some conflict in the logic.

Comment 11 Hugo Pereira Da Costa 2012-07-01 22:41:28 CEST

ok. So in the end, I enabled transparency (window manager tweaks) and cannot reproduce. See: http://imagebin.org/219114

My GC is intel also (sorry if I missed comment #3 first).

I think the release blocker flag should be removed (sorry). And I would close as upstream. Not much

It's Cauldron (mga3 packages) here. You seem to test with mga2 packages.

Comment 14 Hugo Pereira Da Costa 2012-07-01 22:51:36 CEST

... that is correct. (sorry missed that too)
But I have latest oxygen (from git).
I'd recommand you try roll back intel drivers

Comment 15 Hugo Pereira Da Costa 2012-07-01 23:08:02 CEST

... meant: "not much I (oxygen-gtk dev) can do about it on oxygen-gtk's side"

Comment 16 Manuel Hiebel 2012-11-24 18:58:32 CET

what is the status of this bug ?

also, is it really a blocker one ?

Thanks for your questions. Sorry, I've forgotten this bug.

Due to the fact that I've given up with doing some further testing, I'll close this bug.
