After updating from v5.0.5 to v5.1.0 I don't like the new colors

Post by sunyata52 »

Hello everyone. Could you please help me with this? :(

Although I sometimes have problems remembering things, I think that these colors were not here before.

Today I updated the software. But after the update I notice a change in the colors of the app. And I really don't like them.

The main colors I'm talking about are the color of the progress bar (both of them, the one in the transfers list and the one in in the General tab), and the color when I select a torrent from the list, or when I select Status filter, Category etc. The color is a dark grey. It may have taken it from some of my system colors? I don't know...

I am attaching a screenshot. I want the previous, standard, colors that I had for so many months. I think they were blue and maybe green? I didn't do anything to the Customize UI Theme before this happened. After this happened, I tried to change some of the colors there, from System to my choice (Palette.Base, Palette.AlternateBase, Palette.Highlight, Palette.Light and a few others) but nothing happened. I don't even know what the names of these color options mean...

Please help me use my torrent client as comfortably as I used to.

Thank you!

Thanks, but that's not the problem. I set my Color scheme on Light and those colors are still there.

Join the question.
Using system colors without an alternative is not a good solution.
..
With respect and hope for understanding.

Im experiencing the same issue.
See for more info: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/22632

Temporarly solution;
Change your accent color in windows settings - it follows that........Qt have changed things again..
Its Qt related it seems; Newest version is using Qt 6.9.0 while previous version was using Qt 6.7.3. Im sure we will get a fix for it soon.

Good to know that I'm not the only one and that there is an GitHub issue open for this!

мне помогло убрать галочку в настройки -> Поведение -> список торрентов, чередовать цвета строк.

What helped me was to uncheck the box in settings -> Behavior -> torrent list, alternate line colors.
