Appearance issues with a dark theme

Open thenaterhood opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Moneyguru doesn't work well with a dark desktop theme. Most of the app works okay, but there's some appearance problems:

  • Plus/Minus buttons at the bottom don't have a visible icon and the other button icons are hard to see
  • Arrows in tables are almost completely invisible
  • Graphs still have white backgrounds, which looks choppy

I attached a screenshot, which has my info blacked out. I'm running a GTK-based desktop, which I realize isn't the smoothest looking with Qt apps but most apps seem to be okay with it.

I wonder how other apps solve this problem. These icons at the bottom are all custom-made. We'd need to re-draw a "light" version for all of these. The graph is also custom-drawn. We'd have to develop a color-scheming feature for this part (currently, colors are hardcoded).

So yep, there is clearly a need here, but I suspect it involves significant work.

I suspect it may as well, although I'm not familiar with Qt. It's not unusable, it's just not optimal so I wanted to point it out.
