The little down arrow button on the time controls is pretty hard to see
Ok, that part of the bg is defined by the TimeHours color (row 3, column 13), which also affects the background of the time units in the clocks.
I can definitely make it brighter, even if that would cause a bit more contrast in the “striped” look of the clocks.
The best solution of course would be to make the arrow white or light grey, but I assume it’s not possible…
the help button is blank
Strange to hear this… the help button has a big, bold “?” in it (it’s clearly visible in all versions I uploaded here)…
But maybe the deveolper is testing the theme against a bright GTK theme, so the “?” wouldn’t be visible.
I see the problem, the button should be visible against any theme.
So I’ll make a circled or boxed “?”, it’s better.
I’ve tested basically any shade of grey in the theme palette and no one really works.
The clock becomes very dull on the background (clocks should pop out from the background IMO, in my experience it’s important in the workflow).
Please see attached image.
Furthermore, this theme is originally meant to be used together with the Arc-dark GTK theme. I know the arrow isn’t themeable, but many elements that aren’t temeable are in fact themed in the built-in themes. That arrow should really be light gray, and precisely #d3dae3. Please forward this to the developer. Thank you
BTW, I’m aware of other issues in the theme that can’t be fixed through custom theming, but can be fixed in built-in themes.
I’ll address those issues in case the developers decide they want to code the theme in.
Well, I’m still getting used to it, I didn’t really want to have such blue spots and I’ve struggled to find a desaturated shade that doesn’t hurt my eyes… but now I kind of like it!
Here it is in the bigger context, together with the updated ImagCache.
BTW, can you confirm that Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\audacity\Theme\ImageCache.png
is the right path to install a custom theme under Windows 10?
I’m trying to do so right now but the program (v. 3.0.2) keeps showing the default Light theme…
This is an updated version of the theme, including the color for line 2, row 2 (“CursorPen”), which is now used by Audacity to draw the cursor line when stopped, as well as the dividing line between waveform and spectrum in multi-view.
