The last few evenings I made a custom GTK3-theme for RawTherapee, which is based on TooWaBlue-GTK3-theme.
My intention was to have as less as possible color influences while processing RAW.
What I’ve changed:
The blue accent colors, sliders and progress-bars to a 90% white.
The highlighted text a bit brighter.
The line spacing slightly reduced.
The right panel a bit narrower.
The “colors” of the remaining areas between dark- and medium grey.
I’ve created and tested it with RawTherapee 5.7 and new 5.8 under Win10 with a screen resolution of 2560x1440px @ calibrated and profiled BENQ. There were no issues, so far.
Unzip it, copy/move “blackfoxx-GTK3-20_.css” to the “themes” folder of your RawTherapee installation directory, select “blackfoxx” in preferences and restart RawTherapee.
If you would like to “disable” tooltips completely:
open the *GTK3-20_.css file of your applied theme with an text-editor
search for the line (126 or 165) which starts with tooltip {
add a new line below and paste opacity: 0;
save and close the file, (re)start RawTherapee…
This makes tooltips 100% transparent.
So they will still pop-up, but nobody will see.
Unfortunately I found no other (easier) way to manage this “issue”.
The easiest way would be a checkbox in preferences, to switch tooltips on/off.
Maybe somebody is around here who can or would like to implement such a “feature”?!
to 1:
Line 31 @define-color accent-color2 rgb(230,230,230);
change it to @define-color accent-color2 rgb(130,130,130); (for example)
You can adjust these 3 numbers between 0 (black) and 255 (white).
As long as all 3 numbers got the same value, it will result in a shade of grey.
to 2:
Line 55 @define-color border-color rgba(255,255,255,.30);
change it to @define-color border-color rgba(0,0,0,.0);
This will make these border lines 100% transparent. So they will be invisible.
This additional “a” behind “rgb” controls the transparency.
Value of 0=100% transparent, value of 100=0% transparent.

Yes, I already saw. But for now I haven’t dealt enough with CSS, GTK3 and GUI stuff to help. Maybe later, if I should have the relevant expertise…
Unfortunately, I can only say how to completely hide or show these tooltips. But not to place them elsewhere, or which ones should be shown and which ones not.

Yes, for sure, for beginners. But if you are familiar with the software after some time, they might become annoying. Furthermore they are sometimes covering useful informations, such as parts of a curve, settings, sliders, menus or other tool options.

Sorry if this isn’t the right place to report this, not sure whether this is a problem with the theme or ART.
I have found the crop tool is a bit glitchy with this TooWaBlue or BlackFoxx theme.
If you don’t have ‘lock ratio’ box ticked when making the initial selection then the preview will display an incorrect crop.

Have noticed this problem with versions in the past, then forgot about it. Seems to be a problem with a range of raw file types. I am on Windows 10 (reluctantly)
Hope this helps…
thanks for reporting, but there’s not much I can do I’m afraid… I’m only supporting the default theme, other contributions are welcome but I can’t maintain them, sorry
Hi
As I don’t have ART installed currently, I can’t say something about that “issue”.
Unfortunately I’m very busy these days, so it might will take some time to find the cause.
I don’t think this is something that you should feel obliged to sort out. You created a theme that you use with RT and were kind enough to share it around. It mostly works with ART but this is a different piece of software going in a different direction so not surprising that not all themes are compatible with both.
Yes, for sure, I know what you mean
But maybe it’s just a small thing to do, to get it right…
I will definitely take a look, as soon as I have time for it again.
Regards
Perhaps the problems with the crop tool under these themes only happen in particular instances that I happened to be using. Seemed to be replicable though…
