Also having this issue with Material. Thought this was due to my session background setting, but I changed it from 'Default' to 'None' and it didn't seem to change anything. On Heidi 10.2.0.5629.

I cannot reproduce that white panel any more, for some reason:

I am going to push updates from the vcl-styles-utils project.

cfe412e12c155c4a8d86a4802272332cb92094a5 has various updates for themes. Please test by updating to the latest build of HeidiSQL in a few minutes.

Yeap,

that fixed the background.

Thanks a lot !!!

Although the white background remains the in dropdown when you type a filename.
I guess this is not related to any bug of the software so we can close this issue ??

I'm not sure. According to https://github.com/RRUZ/vcl-styles-utils/issues/249 the edit and dropdown boxes should be painted in the right color, not in white.

Updated to the latest 10.2.0.5736.

The issue is not completely resolved. When I start typing the background has the desired color (not white)

but when I don't type anything and expand the dropdown then the background is still white.

I'll have a look if the changed file from https://github.com/salvadordf/vcl-styles-utils/commit/16730fd00f7426b1985d53565c1f6e8209fd7ff5 is really used in HeidiSQL.

The dialog for loading an SQL file is a TOpenTextFileDialog, while e.g. the session manager's startup script selector is a TOpenDialog. The latter one paints correctly, so there is some difference in their code which is apparently not caught up by the above mentioned fix.

I just asked why these differences exist on delphipraxis.net.

[ansgarbecker]

Sorry for the confusion - I mixed up the save dialog with the open dialog. The save dialog has this wrong background color in the dropdown. The open text file dialogs have even more issues - they look like in old XP.

I could go and exchange the old-style open dialog with a newer dialog and extend it like described in this blog post, but to be honest, that is too much effort for now.

For these background colors on the save dialog, I suppose we just accept that. I have no clue how to fix that.

[anselal]

If it is too much trouble that is ok. I just pointed out the issue.

It would be nice to be fixed but the main reason I use HeidiSQL is not the dark themes but it's features !!
