Thanks for the reply, I have tried to change the gtk theme with the tweak tool, but not with the result I expected. GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark meld does the trick. So I just added a small script in /usr/local/bin ''' #!/bin/bash GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark meld $1 $2
''' and created a symbolic link to it with the name meldark. So every time I d like a dark themed diff quest I can ask for it :D My only problem is that when I set my script or the link as the git difftool It doesnot work and falls back to meld... if I find a better way around this one I ll post back. Once again thanks for the great tool. I will later post to this list some minor features I am missing, which probably I might have not yet figured out and if of interest, I will add them as issues to gitlab with feaure request tag. Will be glad to find the time and contribute to this project.
