Theme - dark - titlebar, tab

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.8.3 64bit
Windows11 (24H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%


Theme - dark
app does not color titlebar and has almost no difference between active/inactive tab, which in inconvenient

Suggestion
app_ui_theme_dark_improve_titlebar_tab.png
  • improve dark theme
    • titlebar
      - use dark color (related suggestion)
      - use different colors when app has/doesn't have focus
    • tabs
      - use smaller close button (X), make it white
      - use different color for tab background (eg active - existing color, inactive - same as titlebar)
      - use different color for text (eg active tab - white, inactive tabs - grayish)

I highly support the suggestion.

Pierre, with my poor 65 year old eyes, I can't tell which is the active tab at all. Take a look:

Many thanks in advance!

Much better!

I would have liked a better contrast, of course, but it's now much better than previously. The active tab is now easier to identify. For my eyes it's the most important.

Thanks a lot, Pierre !
