I don't have enough time and motivation to play with themes on windows anytime soon. Go with whatever you agreed. While I NAK'd #3129 on based on my preference (so biased) I was also clear that I won't block it (or any other theme) as long as we swap out Adwaita. So I'm in favor of merging #3129 over post-poning. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3063#issuecomment-1763144730 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

I don't see how it should get better by postponing to 2.1. To me, switching to @techee's version of the Prof-Gnome theme is a big improvement over the default theme. In the mean time, the website FAQ explains how to change the GTK theme on Windows, so users who do not like it, can change it themselves. I think most of the participants here agree that Adwaita is not a good default and most of us agree on the modified version of Prof-Gnome. Only @kugel- could not be convinced yet and vice versa, @techee and me are not convinced that the Boomerang theme is a better choice. Again, since there are now instructions on how to change the theme, the default theme is now only a default theme. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3063#issuecomment-1760396929 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

My 2 cents (remember I'm not a Windows user) is that we can't please all the people all the time, especially with themes. If the techee-tweaked theme solves the Adwaita bloat that is the actual OP, then lets merge it, most importantly along with the wiki article about how to change it, and a link from the download page to the wiki since the download page is one place most Windows users will visit. Maybe after the release notes link below the table, don't bury it away. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3063#issuecomment-1542997802 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

I'm not sure what exactly @nrikonomov meant, I thought that with the "project killing" comment he meant the use of those "250,250,250 shades" which I fixed in the Prof-Gnome theme some time ago. And he seemed to like the modified theme as mentioned in https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3063#issuecomment-1272315353. It's hard to satisfy everyone but to my eyes the Prof-Gnome theme is neutral enough so it shouldn't offend too many people and fixes the OP's problem (with which I agree). If someone has some more constructive comments than "I don't like it", I can try to update the theme (like I did with the white color). I'd suggest switching to this theme - and if Geany's issue tracker gets filled by complaints of people that we killed Geany, we can always "revive" it by switching back to Adwaita. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3063#issuecomment-1542898938 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Another year later...luckily we got some more feedback even though it doesn't make the decision for a suitable default theme not easier. The new master plan (suggestion): - merge https://github.com/geany/geany-osx/pull/35 to use it in Windows builds - integrate the Prof-Gnome theme from the https://github.com/geany/geany-osx repository (#3129) - set the default theme to Prof-Gnome in Windows builds (#3129) - update the new FAQ entry to reflect the new default theme and mention more of the alternatives mentioned in this issue https://github.com/geany/www.geany.org/pull/40 I'm aware that some of the contributors of this issue are not happy with Prof-Gnome and might prefer Adwaita, Boomerang, Monokai or whatever else. The comments above made clear we cannot find a theme as default to make everyone happy. To me it seems, Prof-Gnome will be a significant improvement over the currently used theme and it would make the default appearance of Geany on Windows and macOS more similar.

I never noticed this myself but yes, `base_bg_color` and `theme_base_color` should be white. I've just updated the Prof-Gnome theme with this change.

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.

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.

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.

See https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3063#issuecomment-1009446219 - you can have per-application themes and Geany definitely shouldn't modify the shared `settings.ini` common for all GTK apps. This also means that Geany can use a theme that suits best to its use of GTK widgets and this theme doesn't necessarily have to look good in other applications. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3063#issuecomment-1264435824 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.

So yeah, adwaita is the future for me. Eh. Just curious, did you try the official Prof-Gnome theme or the modified version I use for macOS builds: https://github.com/geany/geany-osx/tree/master/Prof-Gnome/gtk-3.0 ? If you have time, could you post a screenshot of how (the modified Prof-Gnome) looks like on your machine? I'm not aware of the problems you describe but maybe it's caused by the scaling you use (for macOS builds it's just plain 200% and maybe those 225% do some weird things). -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3063#issuecomment-1264354407 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.
