Dark and Light FreeCAD stylesheets (v2.x merged to master)

[pablogil]

Hi,

I would like to share with you the 2.x version of my themes for FreeCAD.
The styles have been totally rewritten from scratch from all the experience I took on version 1 series, that's the main reason I have created a new thread instead of using the previous one.

Basically, the themes are 2: Dark and Light, with 3 variations each (green, blue and orange). It's really easy to switch/tweak colors if you know a little bit of CSS:

I have tested them on OSX, Windows and Ubuntu so they should work on any other OS, anyway, let me know if you find bugs or glitches.
Some comments about FreeCAD and theming:

• They are designed for FreeCAD 0.16 but they will work on current stable 0.15 but you will need to read the installation notes in order to fix some things

From commit 4672066 (v0.16) the stylesheets are merged into master so you don't need to download anything, just select them from Preferences menu.
If you are using a previous v0.16 development version, v0.15 or older you will need you download them manually:

I took a quick look for now as i have little free time ATM and one "issue" i found:

Beyond that I like the work done. I usually don't use "dark" color schemes therefore as for my personal preference i will give feedback on the light ones. Stylesheets look and feel very clean and i could say professional.

If you feel like this should be on master, please, let me know and I will try a pull request.

Yes. When stylesheet support was implemented i hoped for somebody to make some good quality stylesheets for FreeCAD. You did just that and you put a lot of effort in it. To me it therefore makes sense to merge this stylesheets in master (FreeCAD 0.16).

Thank you triplus, I'm happy you like them.
Don't worry, you can test light or dark themes, they are almost identical so the bugs found on any of them will be surely be present in the rest.

I'm already working on this issue and other two that I`m finishing fixing so when I solve them all I will upload the patch.

You're welcome.

Good to hear that but i would go for pull request as soon as possible and after add additional smaller pull requests when the work is done. As if you wait too long there is a chance you will miss FreeCAD 0.16 and i don't see any big reason why that should happen.

OK, you are right.
I have just finished closing the bugs so I will publish it and create the pull request.
Thanks!

Great work pablogil! I think it should go into the master as soon as possible if it works without any problems with 0.16.

I have just done the pull request:

• forum thread
• GitHub pull request

The styles are pretty revised but if more eyes on them more probabilities to find bugs and glitches.
I really think it's important to have some stylesheets into master because it's the best showcase to encourage other designers to improve or create new ones. The code is pretty tidy and almost everything is commented so it wouldn't be difficult for newbies to start with QT styling.
