Re: dark theme
@Don: I just wanted to bring something up that I had noticed but never bothered mentioning until now, the colors displayed in the catalog adapt to dark mode in a much different way than for instance list label colors, for example here is a comparison between the catalog and the list of the same hex color:
Just wanted to check that they are both meant to use such a different algorithm?

Re: dark theme
Yes, it's different and you're not alone if you find it confusing. I wish we had an option to modify this behaviour - I'd much rather have a WYSIWYG-approach ;-)

Re: dark theme
Okay, I will change that. Might make that configurable later (hard versus adaptive colors).

Re: dark theme
Did anybody try this? I personally prefer the slightly darkened colors in Dark Mode:
Code: Select all
v20.10.0010 - 2019-06-12 12:40
+ Dark Mode: Added tweak "DarkAdaptive" by which you can make custom colors
a bit less bright in Dark Mode. Easier to the eye IMO.
DarkAdaptive=1
The following colors are affected:
- Label Backgrounds
- Color Filter Backgrounds
- Catalog Custom Colored Backgrounds
Note that Label Backgrounds had been hard-coded to DarkAdaptive=1 before,
and now they are non-adaptive by default. So your labels will look
different now (brighter) in Dark Mode, exactly as you defined them in
Configuration (unless you set the new tweak).
To make it easier to test the effect of the tweak I made it accessible
through the yet undocumented scripting command "dark". Enable Dark Mode
and ensure that any of the above listed affected colors are visible, then
run one of these scripts as fit:
dark 3:=-2; //toggle DarkAdaptive
dark 3:=0; //set DarkAdaptive=0
dark 3:=1; //set DarkAdaptive=1

Re: dark theme
I agree, the dimmer variant is preferable.
Re: dark theme
@Don: I noticed a couple small things I thought I would point out, using a fresh config when you go into configuration and change the darkness level or text contrast while dark mode is active, and close the config window, the changes aren't updated until you swap focus of the panes, and also the UI and tree BG color stays at the previous darkness level, turning dark mode on/off resolves it though.

Re: dark theme
After the success of the dark mode, the next option would be to adjust the black or gray level of the interface.

Re: dark theme
ok ^, but an idea, show in a field the color variation in real time, because you have to apply [ok] to visualize the changes

Re: dark theme
Check out the dark command in scripting. You can build dark theme controller interface with it I guess.

Re: dark theme
I searched the forum and this was the latest thing I've been able to find on scrollbars in dark mode, did anything ever come of this, maybe a tweak? Would love to be able to darken the scrollbar in dark mode.
