dark theme

[Filehero]

I'm starting to get used to it. After working a longer time with dark, the light mode feels pretty aggressive to the eyes...

Yep, I'm starting to consider it for standard use as well.

However, some - well, in fact one - contrasts seems to be overdone when inverted.

My light mode, note the vertical column separator lines in the list appear very faint - which is what I want.

Now with dark mode, these lines are a tad too dominant for my liking. Is this color the same as for the inactive tab header borders?

Another one - breadcrumbs

Now in dark mode - knowing the active pane form the inactive one is rather guessing.

Pane 2 (bottom)

Here it's a bit clearer visually. I wonder, why there shouldn't be colored breadcrumbs in dark mode.



Last utility issue: I had to adapt some colors, mostly desaturation. Of course, it was easy by copying existing ones and deactivate them. Now I wonder how to toggle them easily all at once when flipping GUI mode. Is SC colorfilter() the way to go? I would have to double the color filter definitions in the script, right?

1) You are right, I will adjust the grid line luminance.

2) Breadcrumbs. That was a bug!

Hmm, don't know. I don't script so much...

Thanks for 1) and 2).

As for 3)
If all GUI-defined color filters would have (and show) an explicit ID (e.g., a number), these IDs (numbers) could be passed as a list to SC colorfilter() ...

All my labelled items are displayed white on [back color] (whereas they're all configured black on [back color] in Configuration):

I could reproduce it now. Interesting case. Anyway, should be fixed next.

Fixed, thanks!

Don, could you share your algorithm used to darken colors on the dark mode?

• Colors and Styles → Colors → Breadcrumb Bar
• Colors and Styles → Lines, Planes, Dark Mode → Selections in focused controls
• Colors and Styles → Lines, Planes, Dark Mode → Selections in non-focused controls
• Information → Tags → Labels
• ...

I'd like to change those colors on the dark mode, but it's not easy since it isn't WYSIWYG on the Configuration window, thus I'd like to be able to compute colors I need by reversing your algorithm.

[admin]

Well, I could offer the opposite way: Show them in config as they are in dark mode.

[Leito]

That would be even better!

Would you do all the Colors and Styles → Colors section?

[admin]

Should be. But I'd say this is for phase 2.

[Leito]

Great, I'll wait for this!

[Leito]

Seems like another bug:

• Set a label to an item in list.
• Select the item.
• Lose focus from the tab (change pane or change window).

→ The item text changes from black to white.



If the labelled item isn't selected, its text stays black.

[admin]

Don't manage to reproduce.

[admin]

Ah, full row select!?!

[Leito]

Ah, full row select!?!

Always

[admin]

Wasn't even a dark mode bug. Same problem in light mode. Anyway, fixed!

[Leito]

Arg, too late, you're too quick to release betas : I just noticed that the same bug also happens with color filters that have a back color.
