What kind of issue is this? How do we fix a package that looks like this?

I wanted to post this on GitHub, but I’m not sure how to write an issue for it.

This package doesn’t build properly:
pkgs.UltraStar-Creator

When I run it, this shows up:

Is there anything I can do to fix this? Is it missing fonts?

What happens if you switch your desktop theme to a light variant and run it again?

So it builds and runs properly, it’s more likely just some nearly invisible (light-on-light/dark-on-dark) text rather than a graphical driver or toolkit bug.

I’ve never heard of ultra star creator, but this kind of funny stuff often happens when running qt apps using some dark gtk2 theme that doesn’t apply properly, because qt’s gtk2 theming compat mode sucks, etc etc. I usually use kvantum to set qt themes and I’ve seen better results.

But step 1 would be figuring out what UI toolkit and major version of said toolkit that this program uses. Then set its theme properly.

This solved it. I guess it’s not possible to run this in “Dark theme”.

Thank you!
