The advantage of using the current background (or a greyish background like Rhino, 3DMax, etc...) is that both black and white appear clearly...
Re: FreeCAD Website Design
From creo I know a lot depends on version.
But also I see a lot of users use the pre wildfire color scheme what is the same as the blueisch as FreeCAD

Background.
Nice proposals. Colors used look balanced. And i guess it shows a designer put them together.AR795 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 26, 2018 1:32 pm It's difficult to recommend a single color scheme since people can have different preferences. Some like darker backgrounds while others like lighter ones. I searched the internet for CAD programs to see what viewport colors they use and from what I found and given that FreeCAD has a lighter UI color, I think something like this could work:
As there already is an option available for customization. I don't feel presets are absolutely necessary. At some point in the future FreeCAD could i guess evolve default color scheme as seen in the viewport. Something unique for FreeCAD and for end users to accept it in general. Likely we are far from that to happen. But i guess your proposals are a nice first step.Even better would be that, there can be a 'Presets' drop-down menu in the preferences that includes a few color schemes by default which users can select from or add their own.
Re: FreeCAD Website Design
Maybe creating different themes that those interested might toggle on or off. In my opinion the current freecad stands out in it's appearance and general feel with it's default background color. but increasingly for those who spend countless hours designing on computer screens might love a default color that is not too hard to their eyes. the bright colors can strain the eye at some point for heavy users. meanwhile you don't want a completely darklike autocad etc, so a good medium is great.AR795 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 26, 2018 1:32 pm It's difficult to recommend a single color scheme since people can have different preferences.

I agree, having presets for background colour would be convenient. The default FreeCAD background does well as a dark theme. In some cases, users that spend long hours in front of the computer might prefer a more neutral dark colour.

Re: FreeCAD Website Design
Guys, how can the new website be translated? I haven't found the text strings on Crowdin.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Re: FreeCAD Website Design
As we didn't change the approach, likely the way it always worked. Yorik would i guess need to run some script, for the strings to emerge on Crowdin.
Re: FreeCAD Website Design
Ah I had forgotten indeed. The file is updated: https://crowdin.com/translate/freecad/27908/en-fr
Re: FreeCAD Website Design
Can we add a crowdin (translation service) badge to the website to show the progress of translations ? It also acts as a link to crowdin to onboard potential translators.
looks like:
Code: Select all
<a title="Crowdin" target="_blank" href="https://translate.freecad.io/project/freecad"><img src="https://d322cqt584bo4o.cloudfront.net/freecad/localized.svg"></a>
