Which NVIDIA driver are you using? Closed-source nvidia-drivers driver? Open-source nv driver? Open-source nouveau driver? (Look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /var/log/Xorg.0.log to check.)

This is a very long shot and probably not the cause of your problem, but check the output of the following command (as root user):

Code: Select all

eselect mesa list

and change any that are linked to "gallium" to be linked to "classic". Hypothetical example:

Code: Select all

eselect mesa set 64bit r300 classic
eselect mesa set 64bit sw classic
eselect mesa set 32bit r300 classic
eselect mesa set 32bit r600 classic
eselect mesa set 32bit sw classic

The ATI Radeon links to Gallium3D should have no effect in your case, but I don't know about the '64bit sw' and '32bit sw'. Anyway, it won't do you any harm to put them all to classic, so you may as well try it.

Another thing to try if you're using a dark theme, as you can adjust your text colour this way: Kickoff > Application Appearance > Colours. Click on the Colours tab and try changing some of the colours of the various text types.

Theme is set Sabayon default i played with other themes & colours but it didnt produced any readable output

I had replicated the bug On newly installed Sabayon with deufault theme after using sulfur to download KDE Slovak package and Libre Office SK nationalization package desktop bottom panel itself changed color style

- im using NVIDIA driver
- i changed mesa to classic

The problem is that only bottom panel is affected other (Dolphin windows are just as they were)
