           Summary: Topic bar hyperlinks don't follow hyperlink color
           Product: konversation
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konversation-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: chris.kcat gmail com


Version:           0.18 #3016 (using KDE 3.5.2, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.5 (Gentoo 3.4.5, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.14-gentoo-r2

The topic bar above the chat area doesn't seem to honor the Hyperlink color I have set in Konversation's configuration. Since I have Konversation set to a light-on-dark blue color scheme (to match my KDE settings), and the hyperlinks in the titlebar force themselves to deep blue regardless of what I have set in KDE or Konversation, it becomes near impossible to read them against the background.

I noticed an earlier (resolved) bug by someone else that mentions that the set hyperlink color conflicted with his main window background color and thus honoring it caused him to be unable to read it. That kinda makes this a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation.

Given this problem, it may be best to make the topic bar's background follow the chat window's color, perhaps even as an editable text field, so that the set hyperlink and text colors will display properly. That, or add two more configurable colors, for the text and hyperlink colors in the topic bar, respectively. Or, perhaps follow KDE's color scheme for the topic bar colors instead of what's set in Konversation's configuration.
