Re: SPAM, Re: dark theme ?
Hello, using a dark qt5ct theme with a light desktop theme doesn't give me dark colored eric6. However, if I switch the desktop theme to a dark theme (e.g. Breeze Dark) every Qt widget in eric uses this dark colors. I did not find a reason, why qt5ct does not work as expected. Testing it with native Qt application (Qt Designer) showed the same behavior like eric6. Therefore I assume, it is Qt ignoring qt5ct. An alternative would be to create a QSS style file. The eric archive includes an example called 'Chinese_Dark.qss' located in the 'styles' folder. Regards, Detlev Am 13.10.21 um 09:24 schrieb Martin: Hi ! Thank you for the answer. Unfortunately I don't understand why it doesn't work. I have installed Eric using the official method (virtualenv in ~/eric_env/) I also installed qt5ct. It was complaining QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME wasn't set to 'q5ct'. So I have set the env variable (from /etc/environment then restart X session) and the tool doesn't complain anymore. After that, in qt5ct, I choose a dark theme and the preview looks OK. If I open KeepassXC which also use QT5, I can see the changes I make in qt5ct tool is well reflected in KeepassXC.

Re: dark theme ?
Hello, there is no single place to configure a dark theme. If the desktop environment already is dark, all the Qt widgets in eric should be dark as well (at least it was over here on Kubuntu when I switched to a dark theme). In order to get the syntax highlighter to show a dark theme, just import one of the themes (eric6_Dark_1 or eric6_Dark_2). What is left thereafter are various other color settings.
