Summary | 0017183: Color Invert / Inversion or Night Mode for workspace | ||||
Description | For usability/accessibility (light sensitive eyes here) and other beneficial reasons, a basic Color Inversion/Invert option for the main workspace area is essential. | ||||
Additional Information | Gnome's Evince document viewer has an implementation (called Night Mode and keyboard shortcut ^i) that works very well. Some hints where that code could be found are here https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/-/merge_requests/573/diffs Thanks | ||||

have you tried to use a tool like https://github.com/zoltanp/xrandr-invert-colors ? it's likely that scribus indeed already has code that could help producing an inverted result (since it can show the output corrected for different types of color blindness), but i wonder a bit, how much sense it makes, to work on layouts when the colors are inverted. but, well, not everybody has to work on projects where the colors matters... |
|
@jghali @mrb do you see any chance of this being implemented? no feedback from the user about using external tools (which they probably already have, if they are sensitive to colors) and i don't really see how scribus could implement this (except maybe adding it to the color blindness filters...) if there is no hope for this ticket, i would suggest to close it. |
|
I would not close this ticket as this does not look very complicated to implement. For the purely functional part, we would need to modify Canvas::drawContents(). Not sure either how we should present that functionality to user tho. |
