Cool! I'll work up something I like and maybe post it!

Edit:

Awwwww. It doesn't remember!

OK. Here's a quick theme that exaggerates all of the missing elements that need to be included in a theme definition (but aren't).

Also obvious is all of the extra little screen junk the QT controls have embedded in them (in all of the themes) that are not controllable by the current theme definition. For instance: control borders around the toolbar, the toolbar dividers, superfluous borders around each panel, etc.

IMO thumbnail colors should also be included in the theme definition.

I think this theme works best with the "Clean Looks" style.

Code: Select all

QMainWindow { 
	background-color: #323232; 
	color: #dddddd; 
} 
QTreeView { 
	background-color: #717171; 
	color: #dddddd; 
	alternate-background-color: #303030; 
} QListView { 
	background-color: #303030; 
	color: #dddddd; 
 } 
 QTextEdit { 
	background-color: #717171; 
	color: #dddddd; 
 } 
QScrollBar:horizontal {
	height: 20px; 
 }
QScrollBar:vertical {
	width: 20px; 
 }
QTabWidget::pane {
	border-top: 2px solid #C2C7CB;
 }
.QLabel { 
	color: white;  
} 
 
.QCheckBox { 
	color: white;  
} 
 
.QRadioButton{ 
	color:white; 
}

Again…

• I had a look again now, and closing the edition box (doing nothing),
now all the browser BGs are black, impossible to go back… till I close¦restart.

• That script looks like a CSS like a pair of twins… Really inconvenient to customize a programme,
despite I'm in the habit to write (huge) style-sheets…

Defining themes in this way makes it so easy to try them out and to share them! Perhaps I'll make some alternatives and post them.

Here's (just the beginning of) an idea:

I conceive of five separate groups of settings we users might be likely to share individually: Workspaces, Layout Groups, Themes, Thumb Definitions, and Behaviors.

Behaviors:

Keyboard shortcuts
File format save options
Startup options, etc.

Thumb Definitions:

Borders, Spacing
Colors
Label layout
Icon visibility and placement

Themes:

All interface colors
File-list colors
Flag to override colors in Thumb Definition
Toolbar skin

Layout Groups:

Panel visibilities, positions, and splitter locations for each internal layout

Workspaces:

Link to Layout Group
Link to Theme
Link to Thumbnail Definition
Link to Behaviors Definition
Initial (default) layout
Default Browser sorting order
Default Browser filter
Default thumb size
Default Path
Toolbar Definition
More...


To my way of thinking, each Workspace could have all: a Layout Group, a Theme, and a Thumbnail Definition, and a Behavior Definition... or any combination.

Users could share an entire workspace or only a single component, such as a theme.

Menu options/toolbar buttons would make switching between themes, etc quick and easy. XnView would be come almost chameleon-like and save some of us a lot of time!

+1, I agree.
To be able to share easier the themes and the others custom cosmetics settings, it would be interesting in this case to have two XnView.ini file, one for the normal setting(xnview.ini), and an other one for a custom cosmetic setting (theme.ini, including the theme and the others stuffs).

An other example of dark theme to copy/paste into the setting theme area (View\Style\Theme...)

Code: Select all

QMainWindow {
background-color: #454545;
color: #dddddd;
}
QTreeView {
background-color: #454545;
color: #dddddd;
alternate-background-color: #515151;
} QListView {
background-color: #454545;
color: #dddddd;
}
QTextEdit {
background-color: #454545;
color: #dddddd;
}
QScrollBar:horizontal {
height: 10px;
}
QScrollBar:vertical {
width: 10px;
}
QTabWidget::pane {
border-top: 2px solid #C2C7CB;
}
.QLabel {
color: #000000;
}

.QCheckBox {
color: #000000;
}

.QRadioButton{
color:#000000;
}
