I think there is more of a diy ethos in the free software.community. we work together to make a thing, and in that making lots of things are exposed to tinker with. Probably not as polished as the commercial offerings, but when you want to do your own thing, the power is there, you just need to learn a bit and it’ll start making sense.

Absolutely! Well said and done everyone!!
Maybe one day, not too far in the future, you will switch to Linux and the free alternatives to taste a different kind of operative system.

If you are above 80 years maybe otherwise there is hope no?
I have too many specific apps that have no Linux version. One change at a time 
giving up Lightroom was a big step

For me on Windows 11 this theme
user.zip (4.9 KB)
has all module toggles the same color when “on” and “off” 
Also, it’s a shame that all themes that I found so far are either dark grey or white, no grey ones. I tried this theme and it throws off my color perception so badly, I would have used it otherwise…

Hello, everyone.
This is an update to the dark theme I made a while ago.
In this version, thanks to tips from @rudantu, who is proposing a redesign of the website and app, I have made some adjustments to the theme, specifically to the search boxes, sliders, different icon states, and other details.
Search boxes detail at the top bar.
Different emphases on lighttable images: rejected, not selected, selected, hover, colors and groups.
Different colors for the on/off icons states in the modules and shadow in the search box.
Different grayscale range in the tone curve.
Transparent sliders in the color equalizer graph. alpha(0.2)
Back to black in the scopes 
and some shadows in info popup windows.
(UPDATED) borders of the app with the same background color.
/* Sets outer borders that could be hide or shown in darktable with 'b' shortcut */
#outer-border
{
background-color: @grey_15;
min-width: 1.4em;
}
Some changes to the splash screen.
As before, unzip the user.zip file, use the “darktable icons darker” theme as a basis, copy and paste the contents of user.css into the darktable configuration window, apply the changes, and restart darktable.
Here is the theme:
user.zip (7.4 KB)
Once again, infinite thanks to the developers of darktable who make it possible for this program to get better every day with the new updates they release.
Greetings from Mérida, Yucatán.

I just replaced your previous theme with this version and am very happy with it. I prefer not to use icons but find the other changes a big help - it’s much easier to see what is selected and what is not. Thank you very much for your work.

@difrkaguilar, normally with elegant darker I’m able to see when a thumbnail is chosen as the thumbnail gets a white border on hover. When I switch to your latest theme there is no change to the thumbnail border on hover. So, selecting the thumbnail gives no indication that the thumbnail is actually selected, even though it is. I know that because double clicking it opens the file in the darkroom.

I’ll check that ASAP. Thanks for the info.

I can’t find in the css code the places responsible for the color of the outermost elements hiding the panels, which I would like to match to the remaining main background from color #141414 (grey_10) to #232323.
As you can see, the statusbar and the application background have one color, and the toggle panels get a dark frame around them.

You can download the file again. I have already changed the border from grey_10(#141414) to grey_15(#232323).

It is a wonderful improvement in legibility and style. Thank you for your efforts.

I’m using “permanent extended overlays”. Still no change in color when hovering as in elegant darker.
I’ll probably be inspired to make a modified version like this for the theme “darktable elegant grey.”

I’m checking the CSS to see how I can make this change visible. Unfortunately, I don’t have all the information I need to make the changes as quickly as I would like. But I hope to fix the Permanent extended overlays option so that the change is visible.
