All QT apps "all black"

Hi,

I just noticed KeePassX (the only QT app I use) is all black. I can't see any graphics, only test is white. It's hard to navigate. Do I need to setup QT or something?

Just a thought. Have you tried temporarily removing .Xresources and .Xdefaults to see if that makes any difference?

Tried, did not help. Will try to set theme.

Try to delete lines about `*.background:*` & `*.foreground: *` in the .Xresources or .Xdefaults files.

What sycamorex commented. If that doesn’t help, double-check that you don’t have some weird (outdated?) Qt theme set.

Qt apps normally just work out of the box without any setup.

Strange, for some reason QT is giving me "all black" palette. I changed manually colors and now I can see the buttons, but the textfield background is still black. I am going to leave it for now. Thanks.
