now GET OFF BREEZE else you kill your WX

get off Breeze rite now

it totally ruins your wx experience !

go for adwaita, Raleigh, XEMACS

referring to themes and theming settings.

with a poor theme, tooltips may appear "grey letters on grey background" which renders ALL wx-apps unuseable in one fell swoop.

resort to "high contrast" theme in such situations.

is there a way to test such a condition programmatically? must be...

Needless to say that Breeze is the standard theme on major Linux distros, effectively rendering wx into something which gives you a very poor first impression. What a disgrace.

Dude, get a grip. We get it. You don’t like the “Breeze” desktop theme. Message received. However, the choice of a desktop theme is entirely up to the user. If they choose to make your application look like shit, that’s their choice. It is not up to you to override their choice, just because you find the color combinations distasteful. Put an item in your release notes, if you want.

Now, move on to things you can control.

Dude, this is not about my "likings".

This is about the major distros shipping Breeze by default, which clearly BREAKS wx, when it comes to tooltip colour scheme as well as at least one more runtime error about a "line" picture file - which go away once one has switched to the Adwaita theme.

Breeze simply sucks and ought to be replaced with stuff that works.
