[Release] DarkenTS - Save the eyes

[monkyyx]

My apologies, real life got in the way.

No apologies for that! Real life always goes first.
And thanks for the upload!

There are some things I found (a few personal, possible improvements too):

• Some navigation bars seem strange (e.g server groups). {1}
• The priority speaker/channel comander icons have some strange "mesh". {2}
• There are some blank things in the server/channel group, .. menu. {3}
• Still some white spots (e.g record/playback, server welcome message settings).

• Possible borders arround those server/chat tabs?
• A lot of texts (settings, plugins, ..) seem too big. {4}
• Possible to adjust the channel settings, .. tab layout? {5}
• How about a horizontal line under the top navigation menu?
• Possible to make the server message links bold but chat links not? {6}
• The refresh button still seems strange to me (only with language set to German tho). {7}

Edit 1: I've just noticed that you display a checkbox instead of the server group icons. My bad!
Edit 2: Scratch "Edit 1"! In the default theme there is a checkbox too. Shame on me! :| Still don't like the border thing of that checkbox.

Alrighty, this trainwreck is getting bigger and bigger. It looks like I should have advanced to a power user first, before diving again into creating styles. :-) Thank you guys for having patience with me, and keeping on giving feedback.

There are some things I found (a few personal, possible improvements too)

* Some navigation bars seem strange (e.g server groups). {1}
- Could you expand on that? Are you talking about the pink coloured area? If yes: Fixed!
* The priority speaker/channel comander icons have some strange "mesh". {2}
- Fixed!
* There are some blank things in the server/channel group, .. menu. {3}
- Fixed!
* Still some white spots (e.g record/playback, server welcome message settings).
- Fixed! (some of them at least, please don't hurt my already weakened confidence by finding more)
- Record = Aufnahme? Are you talking about the Add/Remove Tool buttons by any chance? In that case: Fixed, fixed, fixed!
* Possible borders around those server/chat tabs?
- That is not what I was aiming for, but I will see what I can do. Is it too hard to navigate? Too hard to differentiate?
* A lot of texts (settings, plugins, ..) seem too big. {4}
- Settings: As intended | Plugins: Fixed!
* Possible to adjust the channel settings, .. tab layout? {5}
- I agree, they are not optimal. I have to dig a little deeper how to change them, adjusted for now.
* How about a horizontal line under the top navigation menu?
- Do you mean the Menu Bar (Connections ... Help / Verbindungen ... Hilfe)? If yes, I am afraid that I was not aiming for that. Any particular reason why you would like a horizontal line?
* Possible to make the server message links bold but chat links not? {6}
- You are right. This makes more sense. Adjusted.
* The refresh button still seems strange to me (only with language set to German tho). {7}
- I will add support for German language. Fixed!

Edit: I've just noticed that you display a checkbox instead of the server group icons. My bad! (prefer the icons tho)
Edit 2: Scratch "Edit 1"! In the default theme there is a checkbox too. Shame on me! :| Still don't like the border thing of that checkbox.

Thanks for the second edit. I already thought I was going crazy. What do you mean with border? The highlighted area?

There's the community for, isn't it?

* Some navigation bars seem strange (e.g server groups). {1}

I think so, yes. Have to check it out as soon as I'm home tho.

* Still some white spots (e.g record/playback, server welcome message settings).

- Challenge accepted!
- Yes, I meant those.

* Possible borders around those server/chat tabs?
- That is not what I was aiming for, but I will see what I can do. Is it too hard to navigate? Too hard to differentiate?

It's just a personal thing. Will figure that out myself.

* How about a horizontal line under the top navigation menu?

That's what I mean. But it's a personal thing too.

No. Take a look at my screenshot above (number 3). If the checkbox is checked it's fine but when it's not checked there is a shadow thing.

Because I haven't heard anything new I am going to release v1.0.2. Lots of optimisation, lots of fixed stuff (hopefully everything, even though I wouldn't bet on it). This is probably the version I should have released in the first place. Mistakes were made.

Download [URL REMOVED].

Considerable changes: By request of Deireadh and monkyyx I added the option for TabBar borders and ScrollBar buttons. Per default those options are disabled. For more information read the changelog in DarkenTS.qss.

Note: TabBar borders is set up as example. Customisation to fit the theme or your own liking is definitely needed. Feel free to share your modifications via screenshot and/or code!

[monkyyx]

Really good work there! Thanks for that.
Haven't found any other "bug" or something like that.

Personally I don't care about you publishing a kinda WIP theme. It's easier to improve it this way. At least I think so.

Edit: I kinda feel bad for asking this, but it is possible to give the "plugins menu" (between the plugin name and the arrow) [screenshot] a little more space?

Thank you. And thank you. :-)

Something tells me I should start using some plugins. ;-P I fixed it. Thank you.

You're welcome!

Thanks for that!
I guess it will be implemented in the next update?

[monkyyx]

I found a few more things (maybe they're intended):

• Possible to remove the grey box? [~1~]
• The scroll bar in the poke screen is kinda bugged [~2~]
• There's a light grey line above the not active server tab [~3~]
• Possible to change the color of people who are in my contact list (to match the green in chat)? [~4~]
• "Edit Virtual Server" -> "Logs", ..: possible to make settings that I can't change (not enough permission) brighter? [~5~]

* Possible to remove the grey box? [~1~]
- Probably. I need more information on this. Your picture is a little small. Is that the tab bar? Did you customise something inside the DarkenTS.qss? If yes, could you send it to me?
* The scroll bar in the poke screen is kinda bugged [~2~]
- Fixed!
* There's a light grey line above the not active server tab [~3~]
- This is a known bug. Working on it.
* Possible to change the color of people who are in my contact list (to match the green in chat)? [~4~]
- Those colours appear to be hardcoded. Nothing I can do, I am afraid.
* "Edit Virtual Server" -> "Logs", ..: possible to make settings that I can't change (not enough permission) brighter? [~5~]
- I can't believe I forgot to implement those boxes. Fixed!

Really liking the theme so far, a nice new style IMO.

Would be great to have the default_extended extra information for clients and channels too as it's very helpful.

One thing I've noticed is that the host message is almost impossible to read if there's a link there.



Doesn't look too bad on here but looks odd on all 3 of my monitors.

Those are the server, channel, user chat tabs. Didn't customize anything in the .qss!
The grey box appeared in version 1.0.2 I think.

Note to myself, ignore server censoring, focus on buttons. I thought people would prefer a clear distinction between tab and button, but I adjusted it a little bit to make it less dominant.

Thank you! I am already working on adding more information to the clients and channels. Those changes will be included in the next version.

To my knowledge those link colours are hard-coded (see links in Options menu) and unfortunately not adjustable on my end. However I can see how this is not acceptable, and will see what I can do.

To be honest, I should have given a few more information on that..

Another thing I just realized is that I can't slide the bottom navigation bar to the right. I can only move it, if I click on the right side of it (screenshot: red box). Sliding to the left works just fine.

Version 1.0.3 has been released. You can download it [URL REMOVED]. This release contains a couple of bug fixes and additions.
