Screenshot of MySQL table view.
Hi Peter,
I have attached a screenshot of SQL view that has got *wrong background* color.
Text color is correct (light grey), probably inherited from the rest of scheme, but background color needs to be changed to something dark, for the text to be readable.
I believe this part of this project hasn't being touched yet.
Best regards,
-Simon.
I just tried this in the 7.4 beta and there are still a number of windows that are unreadable because the foreground color wasn't changed from black to white - most notably, in "Dark Nimbus" the Output window (but works in "Dark Metal") and the Exception Reporter (fairly unreadable in both). Also, in "Dark Nimbus", tree expansion buttons on the nodes (the '+' or '-') are nearly impossible to see. I'm re-opening this bug. If that is not the proper thing to do, I can open a new bug. (In reply to comment #10) Oh, the "close" ('x') on the editor tabs is also very difficult to see in "Dark Nimbus".

This bug was created to implement a "full featured" dark theme - it does not do this in the areas I already mentioned as well as others I continue to discover quite easily (e.g. just now I noticed that the CVS screen is also unreadable - see attached screen shot). Why create N bugs for individual screens when they could/should be addressed in this one? Especially since those individual bugs will probably have little chance of being fixed in 7.4. Unrelated to this: I created a feature bug way back in 2008 (https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=151069) which has 16 votes that is pretty much addressed by this, newer, bug. Shouldn't this bug reference that one - or vice versa? Created attachment 136000 [details]
CVS screen in Dark Metal
Note that the "Locally Modified" files are in a blue that is *very* difficult to read. Note that the "Remotely Modified" files are nearly impossible to read.

We appreciate that a lot, but to make life easier and speed-up bugfixing of each particular problem please follow http://wiki.netbeans.org/IssueReportingGuidelines : "One problem - One issue" part says : Please submit one issue per problem. Different problems are most likely to be handled by different people. It's difficult to handle this issue for all involved parties. Thanks for your understanding and help, M |
