Theming in Qtractor

Hey G3N-es,

Any chance you know how to access that gray background of the selected output?

so good! Thank you.

This worked out perfectly and found another opportunity to use it in the Menu Bar where, for example, View / Drum Mode benefits.

qtractorPluginListView QMenu::icon:checked {
  background: palette(highlight);
  margin-left: 7px;
}
#menuBar QMenu::icon:checked {
  background: palette(highlight);
}

hi fellows :)

what about you starting a brand new topic having your fine and hopefully final results and iterations on the subject?

as is now, for its long extent already, it's becoming somewhat unmanageable for most of us, let alone increasingly unbearable for new users ;)

hint: what about having two brand new topics for each: one named after G3N-es's "Technico" and the other for windowrefund's "Gray-"something ... (sorry for that, I fail to recall the correct name--being that a symptom close to this call anyway :))

cheers

No you don't understand. This was actually never about themes (just a decoy) as much as it's been a drupal stress test :D

Seriously though, I actually spun up a new thread specific to my theme for the exact same reason.

Just close the thread

Using qss, is it possible to override the background color of the Midi Editor? I tried setting the background property of qtractorMidiEditorForm QMainWindow but got nowhere. I do understand it uses the base palette by default but I'd prefer to not change that as that action would open a whole mess of problems. While I'm here, maybe I'll ask if there's also a way to change the background color of the Event Viewer (Events) which is accessible on the right side of the Midi Editor. I found and make use of qtractorMidiEventList but I believe that just reflects the area to the left of the Piano keys.

G3N-es,
Please disregard my last message. It's all perfect now. Thanks again for the help.

hi to all VTQ'ers! :)

there's a new experimental branch in town, this time called xicontheme...

its name says it all: introducing the long awaited feature of Icons theme(ing) without the need to rebuild or compile the whole thing from scratch; rejoice! :)

now in (main menu) View > Options... > Display > Custom > Icons theme, you may then select an existing directory (or folder) where the new custom icons are placed and these will override the built-in ones on the next run, iif matching the very same file-name; note that the file-type suffix (or extension) maybe either .png or .svg but only the file-name is meaningful for the matching.

would you please test && tell what you think? if all goes well this might be a nice present for the holidays! ;)

enjoy!

What a great idea! I'll spend some time with this tomorrow as I have my icons broken out to support this testing.

This worked perfectly on my end with a fresh compile and pointing the new option at my images directory. Quite nice!

wholly thanks to you both!

the xicontheme branch will shortly merge into develop soon, even today :)

stay tuned!

UPDATE: done in qtractor >= 1.4.0.15git.fd69c3.

UPDATE2: and... xicontheme branch is not anymore.

cheers
