Hello.
Just updated to the latest mrViewer on Windows, v5.9.9 .
I have noticed the UI has changed, I'm getting very strange colors no matter the color theme or UI style I choose
I've attached a capture to show how it looks.
About the general changes in the UI I think the only thing I really miss in mrViewer is more love in the UI, I know is a pain and a lot of time.
I personally will prefer to stick with one UI style, plain or gtk+ is ok, keep it simple, then I would avoid the use of that rounded backgrounds in some labels and buttons, they don't look good in FLTK, normal square shapes I think are better.
For icons again keep it much simple, these for me are much clear, simple and better looking icons: https://materialdesignicons.com/ https://fontawesome.com/v5.15/icons?d=gallery&p=2&m=free https://fontawesome.com/v4.7/icons/
That's really weird. Try setting the color theme to Dark Grey or Black and show me a pic of those. Those should look okay. If they don't, make sure there's a mrViewer.colors file in the colors directory of mrViewer (or in the home directory .filmaura directory). If there isn't, reinstall.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Also, if you fire it from Maya, check HOME/Documents/.filmaura for the mrViewer.colors file. If they don't work, remove all mrViewer.colors file from HOME/.filmaura and HOME/Documents/.filmaura. Make sure in the logs that the loaded colors file is the one in the mrViewer's directory.

Thanks gga.
I think the reason for this issue is that we are using the STUDIOPATH envvar to set a common place for the mrViewer setup.
In that location there are three files: mrViewer.prefs, mrViewer.lock.prefs and mrViewer.keys.prefs
There wasn't any colors file there, I found the colors file in the install dir and copy both the file directly into the STUDIOPATH location and also the colors folder.
But no luck so far, same result.
I have also tried, unsetting the envar in a terminal and running mrViewer, same result.
I get the same weird colors when I change to another theme, the overal color change but I still have these weird red backgrounds.
Thanks

Can you check in the logs ( Window->Logs ) where it is loading the color theme from (it should say something like: Loaded color themes from ...) ? We need to start from there to debug it. Don't copy the .colors file anymore as it just increases the difficulty in debugging it.

Okay. Try setting STUDIOPATH with a slash at the end, as it is missing it. It should say: [prefs] Loaded preferences from C:\studio\tools\dotfiles\mrviewer/mrViewer.prefs
or [prefs] Loaded preferences from C:\studio\tools\dotfiles\mrviewer\mrViewer.prefs

I did it with same result. I think is something on our side. Im not sure what is it, but I have an old image of our systems and there mrViewer seems to work fine. I need to dig into it.
I have attached a capture of how it looks when applying the Black them.
I have no idea what can be causing this issue.
Download this debug version of mrViewer. https://mega.nz/file/SaRQmJRY#WLzPBzgEgic4RJRGy4ZjB83cF8ZsQu_6Fa4tCVTWf7g
Run it with -d 3 from the command-line or from a .bat file, like:
mrViewer -d 3
It will print a lot of messages to the log, and console including the colors being applied. Save the log (it will save it to your home directory, like C:/Users/yourlogin). Attach the log here for me to debug it.

I was wondering if you had had any chance to check what might now be different in your environment. I have been unable to reproduce your colors gone wrong so far.

Sorry gga.
Yeah I looked into it. Unfortunately I couldn't fund the reason because the colors are broken in the Preferences window. the rest of the UI seems to work fine, so we can use it, I have a centralised preferences file, so in theory people shouldn't need to go into Preferences.
Is just annoying, but no clue why its happening.

Thanks for this great tool, is a gem!

Can you check in the logs ( Window->Logs ) where it is loading the color theme from (it should say something like: Loaded color themes from ...) ? We need to start from there to debug it. Don't copy the .colors file anymore as it just increases the difficulty in debugging it.
Here is the log:

Okay. Try setting STUDIOPATH with a slash at the end, as it is missing it. It should say:

or

Download v5.9.9 again as I found out it was severely broken. Let me know if that fixes anything.

Well, that's certainly not the Black theme at all. It is clearly not being applied. The black theme should look like:

Thanks, here is the errorlog.
The only issue i have seen is something about an error creating the Opengl context.
I don't see anything wrong in that log, unfortunately. It seems colors are applied correctly.
I was wondering if you had had any chance to check what might now be different in your environment. I have been unable to reproduce your colors gone wrong so far.
