I'm a big fan of Linux. I've started with Ubuntu and used it for several years, but then switched to Debian and been using it for couple of years now. Debian is probably one of the best OSs I've used so far and I really enjoy it. As a DE I use KDE which is simple, light and yet beautiful. There is one thing I don't like though and it's about how KDE handles apps that don't support the KDE features. There is no problem of launching those apps, but sometimes the UI of those apps is modified by KDE in a way that they become hard or completely impossible to use. Let me show you what I mean.
So this is how XCTU app for configuring Zigbee modules from Xbee looks like with default KDE settings, i.e. modify colors of non-KDE4 apps, enabled.

As you can see it's hard to read something in the text fields on the right side of the window. And this is very annoying, believe me.
So how do I fix that. Easily. Just go to "System Settings > Application Appearance > Colors > Options" and disable "Apply colors to non-KDE4 applications" option.
That's it. Enjoy the apps with the proper UI and stay calm.
