Renaming objects in Dark mode difficult

[akhilannan]

While trying to rename an object in Dark Mode, if you try to a select part of text to modify, it is not visible since selected text and deselected text seems to be having same color. Having this corrected would improve the usability of TE3 in Dark Mode.

Hi @akhilannan I am not initially able to reproduce this issue. Any screen capture or additional details you could share would be appreciated.

Hi @mlonsk Please see the screenshot. I tried to rename a table, and selected Players with the curser. It is very difficult to understand that Players is selected with curser here. Let me know if it is still not clear.

Hi @akhilannan Thank you for the additional explanation, and I can reproduce the issue.

A workaround for now is to choose the Theme "Basic" and then under the Palette option choose "Blue Dark". It should give a good dark mode that also scales better withHi-DPI. Does that work for you?

The standard Dark theme is slightly outdated and we are considering how to handle this going forward.

Thank you for reporting Morten TE3 Support Team

@mlonsk Blue Dark theme looks good to me! Thanks a lot for the quick help.

So "Basic" theme is better for HiDPI? (i.e. 4K with scaling right?)? Good to know! What about Bezier, is it good too? Or better stick with "Basic" ?

@zenzeinet Indeed, Basic and Bezier scales whereas, whereas the others don't. Bezier dark modes however also suffer from the blue selection issue that this bugs concerns.
