Ubuntu – inkscape tooltips unreadable

inkscapekubuntu

I am running inkscape on kubuntu 15.10 and the tootips are unreadable. The are white on a light gray background. Everything is quite vanilla.

Is there a fix? Or a configuration setting?

Thanks.

I am running fvwm as my KDEWM. I checked and if I use fvwm directly (not under PLASMA) the tooltips are OK. I installed the menu package and tried accessing inkscape using the generated Debian menus. The tooltips are OK from there; however, when I launch inkscape from the KDE menu or the command line, I still have the white-on-light-grey problem. At any rate, no longer a show stopper.

Disabling "apply colors to non Qt applications" worked for me.

If you do not want KDE to override your GTK settings, select Colors -> Options in the System Settings and disable the checkbox Apply colors to non-Qt applications
