Dark Theme has insufficient contrast for Lock buttons on the dockable dialogs
Operating System: All
Summary:
The Dark Theme has insufficient contrast between on and off states for Lock buttons on the dockable dialogs
Detail:
We had a request for help from someone having difficulty with the Dark Theme: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-GIMP-2-10-status-of-locking-icons-difficult-to-see
I provided a work-around for them by editing a local copy of the theme, but it seems sensible to amend the Theme to better indicate when those buttons are activated.
Instructions to patch your local theme aka workaround.
- Copy the theme to your personal Themes folder and re-name it.
- Create a new
gimp-button-pressed-lock.png
image in the ui folder of your copied theme (copy thegimp-button-pressed.png
and modify in a way that suits you). - Edit the gtkrc file in the copied theme to add the following (below) to the end of the file.
style "highlight-layer-locks" = "gimp-gtkbutton-style"
{
engine "pixmap"
{
image
{
function = BOX
state = ACTIVE
file = "ui/gimp-button-pressed-lock.png"
border = { 8, 8, 8, 8 }
stretch = TRUE
}
}
}
widget "*Tree*Button*" style "highlight-layer-locks"
(edit: attached patch and instructions. just in case if the source page went down. SG)
