[Bug] Web-links hardly readable, because they are rendered in dark blue

[Olf0]

SailfishOS:Chum GUI application VERSION (<Top pulley> → About): All 0.5.x and 0.6.0

BUG DESCRIPTION

Most web-links are hardly readable when using a dark launcher background, because they are rendered in dark blue on most pages. I observe this regularly on the page for a specific issue and on the page for a specific release. I believe I also saw this on other pages (they rarely contain embedded web-links), but the "About" page is fine; web-links there are rendered in turquoise, which is well visible on both dark and light backgrounds.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Look at pages for an individual issue or an individual release with embedded web-links, especially when the text of the links is long. Compare this to the rendering of web-links on the "About" page.

Suggestion

Let all QML pages render web-links in the turquoise colour they have on the "About" page.

• Good, showing the "About" page
  
• Even worse when a small font is used

Unfortunately above mentioned commits (as part of PRs #200, #201 and #202) did not resolve this issue.

From https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-text.html#linkColor-prop

This property works with the StyledText textFormat, but not with RichText. Link color in RichText can be specified by including CSS style tags in the text.

As the Label in IssuePage.qml uses RichText (because it displays a HTML page/snippet), the only way to influence link color is to inject the appropriate CSS either when creating the issue, or when updating the model.

Please see https://github.com/nephros/sailfishos-chum-gui/tree/fix-186 for a quick fix. I can make a PR if that is an acceptable change.

If it works, it is fine by me :)

Excellent, thank you @nephros!

Edit: Is looking good in v0.6.3.
