[Github-comments] Re: [geany/geany] New UI on windows is bloated and scaled up (Issue #3063)
Please use only 255,255,255 for light background, no 250,250,250 shades and the like ... or I'll find you :) Seriously though, this is the stuff that kills projects. I am already eyeing out another open source project. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3063#issuecomment-1537545684 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Thank you very much @techee for these changes! It looks really good. So, I compiled Geany 1.38 since I wanted to fix something that was bothering me on Windows. I could not identify the theme loading mechanism, so I added your theme inclusion into geany.css and it worked. I ended up with something of Adwaita+Prof-Gnome, but it is more Prof-Gnome.  -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3063#issuecomment-1272315353 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

I reinstalled the build from February 20, 2022, and modified slightly Prof-Gnome - redefined only base_bg_color theme_base_color menu_bg_color sidebar_bg_color to white and is much more bearable. Even acceptable. This is getting annoying - there is a difference in the theme depending on whether the files are in AppData\Local or in Geany\share. Prof-Gnome theme in AppData\Local:  Prof-Gnome theme in Geany\share:  Why are the notebook tabs different size? I moved the theme files from AppData\Local into Geany\share. That is all. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3063#issuecomment-1267498069 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Yes, I deleted all in AppData, and placed the two files in Geany\share in the respective directories. I suppose this creates a blank theme, nothing is defined. This is a good way to make a theme from scratch. I will investigate more in the next week. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3063#issuecomment-1264721510 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Good thing I glanced over that until now. Just in the last 10 minutes I had to click over 30+ Windows elevation prompts, drag-and-drop of files to text editors does not work, any rename/move of files brings more elevation prompts, and I have disabled UAC. Imagine... So, I have Geany\share\gtk-3.0\settings.ini and Geany\share\themes\win32mod\gtk-3.0\gtk.css and here is the result:  -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3063#issuecomment-1264462357 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Well, modifications of GTK theming affects Inkscape, and possibly other GTK apps. Looks like GTK is not designed for Windows. This was interesting experience. I propose to the Geany Windows maintainer to keep Adwaita as the default theme. If I do not like the default theme of next versions, I will compile Geany myself with another theme and use that. Can't mess up visuals of all GTK apps on the machine. The only solution I see is to bundle themes inside Geany itself for Windows. And have menu for switching. Lot's of work. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3063#issuecomment-1264400803 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Hello. I am using Geany from quite some years, both on Linux and Windows. I liked v1.36 more, but it did not scale up properly for HiDPI on Windows. Now v1.38 properly scales and all good. About this theming stuff: I downloaded all mentioned themes and simply extracted each one in C:\Users\Name\AppData\Local\gtk-3.0\ and theme loads on Geany startup. I used the build from Feb 20, 2022. HiDPI simply makes a complete mess of every theme. I am using 225% scale on 3840x2160 resolution. I will stick with adwaita in the future. This goes to settings.ini [Settings] gtk-theme-name=adwaita in the aforementioned folder. Adwaita:  Win32:  B00merang-win10:  sinner59-win10:  sinner59-win10flat:  zayronxio-win11:  B00merang-win10acrylic:  Also, did not like Prof-Gnome - it has some weird tints everywhere, like some very light shades of gray that look like white, but are not so, really annoying. So yeah, adwaita is the future for me. Eh. So, today I played with modifying win32 theme and 1.38 build, here is the end result:  I used about 1 hour to make gtk.css in about 30 lines of code. I don't know if I can copy-paste here, or how do you do that in GitHub. The only thing remaining is the right-click menu and show document list button, that have weird border. If you could share what GTK widget you have used for that.
