OpenShot
Preferences, default theme, Humanity : Dark imporvement
Hello therre, I am a french newbe of Openshot and have vision troubles, therefore I changed the default theme from Cosmic Dusk (difficult to read small blue text over black) to Humanity Dark (bigger white text over black), BUT the 5 icons below the video to read it are still blue over black. I would be very grateful if these 5 icons would be changed to white colour. That would be much more readable and would be in the style of the whole Humanity Dark theme. Thank you to let me know if this can be changed, or how I can change it by myself if this is possible. Up to now I find Openshot a great and easy to use piece of software. Proceed !...
Wahooo... great, thank you Colorjet3 for your so quick reaction ! Cool, am waiting for your feedback. Have fun...
@Colorjet3 - any response? I'm interested in working on this to improve the accessibility of OpenShot
Hello @JW28000 I have informed the lead develoer and he would be the one to respond. I will reachout to him again.
Hello, not quite sure where we stand with this issue. I am running Zorin OS and initially installed Openshot using its Software app which installed Openshot from flathub and this resulted in the poor hardly readable colours. version 330/040 was installed. This morning I re-installed it from a download link in Openshop.org. This was done as an AppImage. Version 330/040. And you know what ? The colours are quite good and readable. Sooo would it be possible to get the flatpack install with the good colours of the AppImage format ? That would be great. I hope I am not confusing anything... Please tell me. Have fun guys...
In my experience over the past 3-4 years, it seems like the AppImage is much more stable vs. natively installed versions of OpenShot via Flatpack, Flathub, SNAP, or whatever application package managers different flavors of Linux use. The constant changes in the Linux world makes it challenging for this small project (volunteer based).
The lead developer has found that the AppImage is the most stable way to run OpenShot across the different Linux platforms, since it is mainly selft contained.
By the way, did the AppImage improve the color of the icons you mentioned in the original post?
Hi, thanks for your answer Colorjet3, yes the AppImage did improve the icons, indeed. Mau be it's better to close this issue now. I will use the AppImage format and uninstall the other one, no pb. I like the app and its easyness. Yhank you.
