Thank you for the dark theme and for the good chuckle!

The dark theme looks excellent, but needs some finishing touches:

  1. In the Log UI, the background colour for each checkbox element is bright white until you hover over each checkbox element. This seems to be a bug.
  2. In the Configuration UI, the foreground colour for each slider element's bar is bright white. There doesn't currently seem to be a way to configure this colour.
  3. I find the thickness of the horizontal bar directly above the status bar to be distracting. Perhaps it can be reduced down to 1 or 2px?

    Same issue with the dark theme. Subscribing to this one.

    I guess you did not read the introduction note: If you switch to dark mode you have to reset custom colours once. The reason is that custom colours will always override default ones, but custom colours for the light theme are obviously not valid for dark themes.

    That should solve the issue, please report back...

      Yes, I tried that. But there is 1 bug as well as 2 other areas that will benefit from improvement.

      I was able to isolate the bug. STR:

      1. Launch WCM
      2. Click the Tools menu
      3. Click the "Show log" menuitem
      4. Once the log opens, tap the Alt key once.
      5. Notice the colours in the log window change!

      Area for improvement #1: Allow the user to change the colour of slider bars. STR:

      1. Launch WCM
      2. Click the Tools menu
      3. Click the "Configuration" menuitem
      4. In the Configuration UI that opens, in the "Check" tab, notice there are 3 items near the top: Minutes, Hours, Days. The slider bars here (and also all slider bars elsewhere in the UI) are always bright white. It will be helpful for the user to be able to change the colour of those bright white bars.

      Area for improvement #2: Reduce the thickness of the horizontal bar directly above the status bar. STR:

      1. Launch WCM
      2. In the main WCM window, separating the status bar from the item list, there is a thick line, ~3-5px in height. This can be reduced to 1-2px to improve appearance.

    Yes!!!! Switching to Dark Mode and resetting all custom colors, worked like a charm :) Thanks!

    Maybe the attached could be improved, or I'm missing again something?

    Thank you
    Dimitrios
