I'm working on some colour scheme for Qtractor, but it seems that the border shadow is hardcoded. Is it? Please see the pic attached. Is there a way to remove that shadow or make it optional?
flat (material?) designs are not my thing, sorry :/
if you insist going otherwise, please go with cmake -DCONFIG_GRADIENT=OFF ...
that will do everything flat as a dang plank alright :)...
cheers
there are a few (like selection blue shades in main canvas/views; recording red shades; red play-head and punch, blue edit-head/tail, green loop v-lines, etc.) that are simply hard-coded and thus fixed: you're not supposed to change that whatsoever. sorry
meter levels are also customizable but only through View > Options... > Display > Meters
Yeah...some of that you mentioned, like selection blue shades in main canvas/views; recording red shades. Plus, the time and tempo box. I cannot change the background and font color. From a design/UX perspective, any hardcode color is a disadvantage. Also at the color theme window, it would be easier to work on, if the items could have their own name. For example, I think "Dark and Mid" refers to the canvas, right? Or just be more descriptive.
re. Border shadow
nope. why?
or yes, it's hard-coded alright, sorry
the main-view timeline borders shadow are always on a gray-gradient, are there any objective (ie. non-subjective) excuses for making it otherwise?
cheers
ps. yes again but you can build it without:
cmake -DCONFIG_GRADIENT=OFF...For light color scheme that
For light color scheme that shadow can be a “problem” for the design. Mostly for flat design.

Hi,
Hi,
The -DCONFIG_GRADIENT=OFF did the trick.
But I noticed now that some items do not allow or do not save custom color. Is there anything that I need to know about theming to Qtractor?
re. custom color/themes
what items are you possibly talking about?

is any of that what you're asking?
byee

not quite. those are general Qt color palette schema of names, so to speak... see Qt::ColorRole enums
hth.
