New ProDark Theme with 4k small text Mod

[turn211]

ProDark-FreeCAD-theme is now complete for all intents and purposes. Looks Great! I will continue to use ProDark-FreeCAD-theme in FreeCAD and other OpenSource software with my study of "Is OpenSource Software Viable for Residential Housing Design and Construction" Thanks to everyone that helped along the way. Will stay in touch in the Forum but will be busy with work related endeavors from now forward (I'm a House Designer/Builder/Contractor). As always you can get the latest at https://github.com/turn211/ProDark-FreeCAD-theme

Thank you! Do you know if it is possible to style the top the Window/Pop-ups? Where you read 'Freecad 0.19' and 'Preferences'

Just as a reminder how great this thing looks, I have recently shown FreeCAD's capabilities to a colleague of mine.

His initial reaction was "Is that FreeCAD? that's not FreeCAD, FreeCAD looks bad and unpolished! that looks like PayCAD!"

Obviously he was joking...but was he really? at any rate his reaction to the theme itself was quite positive I would say

Your are most welcome. Those are Windows Titlebars that get painted a lighter colour when inactive (not focused) . When clicked on (focused) the Titlebar will turn dark as per Windows 10 theme, not FreeCAD theme. Titlebars are all all controlled by Windows.

Edited: Grammar

Thanks! That was the intention. People naturally gravitate to something that looks finished. I recently showed a housing subdivision in FreeCAD to developers. While viewing the developer asked what "Program i was using?" I said FreeCAD. He said "Looks cool....and complicated" I said yes it is.

edit:
can we get recommendations for colors to use in the consoles? (That only be set in the preferences)

Here are the User Colors that that ProDark Theme looks good with. Start with these colors and modify if necessary. Input the colors in Preferences with the following;

Code: Select all

Breakpoint = #ff0000
Keyword = #569cd6
Comment = #6a9955
Block Comment = #ce9178
Number = #b5cea8
String = #ce9178
Character = #ff0000
Class name = #4ec9b0
Define name = #dcdcaa
Operator = #d4d4d4
Python Output = #aaaa7f
Python error = #fd7c62
Current line highlight = #2a2a2a

Preference > General > Output window
Normal Messages = #d4d4d4
Log messages = #55aaff

I'll add this to GitHub as soon as possible. Not enough time in the day

Nice! thank you for all your hard work!

Now if we only could turn this in to a script that safely backs-up and duplicates the user.cfg file and then imports these new colors in to it. That would be useful.

Thanks. An import export feature would be the way to go. Parse all the User changeable colors in user.cfg into a file to import export. Place this feature in Preferences > General > Main window underneath Tree view mode: Also IMHO Style sheet should be changed to Theme as the common user doesn't know what a Style sheet is. Gotta run.
