First, I will provide a bit of context. I'm currently experimenting with creating an eye-candy dark-themed desktop. I'm using Linux, but I'm not using GNOME or KDE.
Currently, my setup consists of: - a dark fluxbox theme (fluxbox is my window manager of choice) - a dark gtk2+ theme - a dark gkrellm theme (gkrellm is a system monitor) These play well together and look good. The missing piece of the puzzle are qt GUI apps. It is possible to make them use the gtk theme with gtk-qt-engine. Here is how a qt app (qbittorrent) is looking with it: http://i.imgur.com/7pPcM.png Now here is leo: http://i.imgur.com/63mfJ.png I see many problems here: - there are a lot of places where the gray color looks unreadable due to a hardcoded (probably that qt CSS template from leo settings) light background: the button labels, the tree headlines, the minibuffer, the status line - there's some void white background behind the multitabbed log panel - the splitter color is not consistent with the dark theme, I would expect it to be dark as well - the dark theme interferes with the hardcoded color values used by the colorizer, see those hardly readable "python" and "main()" in the body panel For comparison, see how gvim is looking: http://i.imgur.com/Oaezf.png gvim is a gtk app, so this last screnshot illustrates two points: - the look of qt and gtk apps stays consistent (this is good) - the look of gvim and especially the code in gvim is much more eye- candy than in leo. Normally, I wish that leo could look like gvim by default Ideally, there will be some feedback on this rant of mine here and probably a wishlist bug will be filled at launchpad then. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
