[Request] Dark/Nightmode

[Seismix]

Even though I have no idea how feasible that is, is there any chance we could get a dark/nightmode pyfa? It's a lot easier on the eyes, even when f.lux is enabled.

@Seismix It's not impossible, but it would require a sit down and review of basically all GUI panels in pyfa, and then add code to change the default system colors. It's been requested before, just haven't ever really got around to figuring it out.

Will keep this one around for a rainy day. (note, at least in Linux, if you use a dark theme, pyfa inherits it IIRC. So just switch to Linux! :P)

yes please, 1000 times this please.

Still got a long way to go, but it's a start....

Annnnd it's done.

Personally I don't much care for the dark modes (especially since there are some GUI elements that are difficult/impossible to change color on), but who am I to judge? :)

You can find a release here, but keep in mind that this is NOT Pyfa, but a fork.

@blitzmann feel free to merge this into Pyfa, it's mostly in a single PR.

does this mean that you'll never implement it into the main version of the program?

It means that it's entirely up to Blitzmann to implement. The work is done.

I'm also tweaking it a bit further. Already tweaked it so that the background of the inner panes is subtly different than the main frame, as well as a bunch of improvements to scaling based on font size.

I'm not one for white text on a dark background, but that particular scheme I rather like. :)

[Folles]

so relaxing to the eyes... thank you so much

[Folles]

@blitzmann any chance you can implement this good work in yours, please? the ability to change character size is really good too.

Dear god please do this >.> my vampire no life eyes need this in my life ^^;;

[ilovepuppers]

Can we breathe some life back into this? At this stage I'd settle for black/white reversal. My late night theory-crafting would be so much happier

[BlackAce21]

So this is something I have wanted for a really long damn time and I am finally in a position to just do the work myself. I do notice someone already added something similar that never got merged into the main branch. If I take the time to do the leg work on this will it be merged in? I really want this feature and idk the details on why the previous PR wasn't merged in but I don't wanna take the time to do this if its just gonna get shoved to the side. Not wanting to be rude either, I just really wanna know lol

[DarkFenX]

@blitzmann can provide details why it hasn't been merged. But i imagine it's because it looked ugly - not every wx widget is cutomizable.

Just curious, which OS are you using? If it's linux or mac - future wx versions will allow to choose between regular theme and dark theme. But if you are on windows, you are out of luck, as legacy windows widgets do not have dark versions.

[BlackAce21]

I use windows primarily but I do have a linux laptop, I will probably do the code anyway because it'll be fun for me as a side project, useful for everyone, and convenient. Might take me a bit because time is a fluctuating concept for me but I'll work at it ;)
