Summary | 0017391: Add Dark/Light theme switch to override automatic mode | ||||
Description | Story As a user, I want to be able to set the light and dark theme manually so that I can decide which UI theme Scribus is using independent of the OS UI theme. Proposal: Add a selection option in Settings --> User Interface where a user can select between: - auto - dark theme - light theme Options: - Auto matches the light or dark mode of the OS and will change if the OS them changes. (this is the current implementation) - Dark Theme: forces the dark mode (based on OS colors?)* - Light Theme: forces the light mode (based on OS colors?)* Acceptance Criteria: - Theme change applies without restart (nice to have) - Change is remembered in settings file (must have) *) If the OS don't provide a color palette we can use to override the UI theme (e.g. OS is dark -> Scribus light), we have to define one by ourselves. | ||||

i would say that for a light system, the option could be: - auto - system dark (only if scribus thinks to be able to do the switch; or with a warning that it will only be possible if the system can provide the alternate theme) - at least one light theme built into scribus - at least one dark theme built into scribus |

Qt Creator supports different light and dark themes. No idea how they do it. Otherwise, fine by me if we just have dark/light/auto. |
