Re: System-wide dark mode

[Christopher Davis via desktop-devel-list]

From a core app perspective, there are some interesting mockups jimmac 
did for Weather that I'm not sure would mesh well with a global dark 
theme since most things are colored manually. See here:



From a non-core app perspective, Fractal uses @theme_selected_bg_color 
to match the color of usernames to the highlighted room. This doesn't 
work
on Adwaita dark because the contrast is poor between the background and 
the blue text.

Blue labels in Calendar become somewhat hard to read with dark mode:

About dark mode itself, we use a hacky algorithm to detect dark 
mode, a system property will be nice, but in general dark mode 
defines several setups and could lead to several valid configs.

If you're responsible for any core GNOME UI, you can test this by 
setting the Adwaita-dark theme in Tweaks.

Screenshots in gnome-software are probably going to get a bit messy,
with some apps shipping their screenshots using the light theme and some
using the dark theme. I don't think it would scale to ask app upstreams
to ship both screenshots, so I think we'll just have to live with this.

Beyond that, there's minor work required in gnome-software to make sure
everything looks good, but nothing that I know that is showstopper.

WebKit is having trouble with this now:

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126907

We need help from GTK developers to make it possible to use multiple 
themes in the same process without large performance penalties. 
Otherwise we need to change WebKit to try to switch to a light theme 
always. Currently it uses the current theme even if it's dark, and 
websites are broken, making it impractical to actually choose a dark 
system theme.

System-wide dark mode

[Allan Day]

Hi everyone,

Whether you love dark modes or hate them, they're becoming fairly
ubiquitous nowadays, and I think that it's time for GNOME to seriously
think about having one of its own.

If we were to support a system-wide dark preference in GNOME, the
implication is that we'd generally support it: the desktop and the core
apps would be expected to use a dark variant of the theme when it is
selected by the user. Therefore, before we get too far into planning and
implementing this feature: does anyone know of any serious obstacles they'd
face, if we were to support a dark mode?

If you're responsible for any core GNOME UI, you can test this by setting
the Adwaita-dark theme in Tweaks.

Thanks,

Allan

[Allan Day]

Hi everyone,

In case you didn't notice, we've had to extend the deadline for the GNOME
Foundation Board of Directors elections, because not enough candidates put
themselves forward.

Please consider running in the elections. Being on the board is actually
quite nice. It's also a great way to see the project from a high level, and
to develop new skills and expertise.

The revised deadline for candidates is 2nd June, and instructions on how to
put yourself forward can be found here [1].

Thanks,

Allan
