Indeed that's not an easy work, I also proposed something like this some times ago. At that time I was thinking about doing a light and simple theme, simpler in the means of edc, so that user can use a cleaner base for their extensions... but my proposal goes in the void at the end. To speak about the current issue: I'm not sure a light/dark theme can solve the original problem, even if I know that the theme is (for example) a "dark" one, that do not implies that my shiny-blue (for example) label will fit well with the theme background. IMO the concept here is that elm application should never set colors or styles that fit with the default theme. I know it's not an easy task for the developer but in my experience it is usually doable. What we can do to improve the situation is to provide more default styles for widgets and texts. For example labels and entries should have much more tags than the current "hilight", we could provide (for example) "error", "title", "big_title", "tag"... or h1, h2, h3 and so on. This will cut down the number of situations where the developer need to provide custom themes. Jérôme: can you please provide some examples of the changes you made to adapt ePeriodique to the dark themes? so that I can elaborate better. PS: I recently tried enventor, it's theme looks really good, but it suffer from the same problem imo, it is tied to the default theme! PPS: the enventor popup theme is REALLY COOL, but it make all the other apps that use popup looks like they have "a not so cool" dialogs :) Raster: can we use the enventor popup theme in elm default? do you like that popup? davemds > > -- > Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri > -------------------------------------- > Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 > Contact: http://www.gustavobarbieri.com.br/contact > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
