My guess is that panels and tab bar is hardcoded white background
is there a workaround i could use to make Otter follow system's colors ?
This is on WIndows? On Xubuntu it simply takes on my system theme. There's also a manual theme command line switch on Linux but I wouldn't know if something similar exists on Windows.
In case of "emergency" you can always use a custom interface stylesheet in preferences > appearance. Sorry I can't be more helpful but I've only got a minute. :)
@dim, it's limitation WinAPI, so far I haven't found a way to get color used for drawing tab bar:

And it's almost always #FFF in all themes since Windows 98.
You can try switching to Fusion style for now.
Fusion works great. I didn't notice it was there. Thanks
Just out of curiosity, what does it look like now?
@dim, one more thing, could you please also show how does Preferences dialog look like with Windows style?
If it looks correctly then perhaps I would be able to find solution in Qt code.
BTW, is that some third party color scheme or what? I could try to reproduce it locally.
Tabs in Fusion style and Windows style (under Windows 7, itself in classic scheme).
Prefs in Windows style.

Oh, not bad at all! The close button and the scrollbar aren't exactly native but nothing terrible.
No third party themes or anything, just tweaking the classic windows 7 theme at the control panel

Those are the registry entries for the color scheme

@dim, thanks for details, hopefully there is some solution for this issue.
