Hello, I have discovered some glitch in FC15 (FC15.2999, win11 b22631.4112).
When the dark theme is activated, the guides in the glyph editor are barely visible, and it is impossible to customize their style in the application.
see screenshot below:
The next upcoming release will show a white background for the glyph editing area, even in dark mode. So that should solve the problem.
white background in dark theme is too harsh in my opinion. maybe in dark mode just draw the guides inversely color, eq R2_XORPEN.
so I’ll test the new version first, and then maybe move post suggestions on a neighboring forum.
Please don’t do this. For me, the reason to use a dark theme is that I have low-vision and this makes a stark white background very difficult to tolerate. There is no point to a half dark, half light (white) theme.
The problem is the same for text editors. Many monitors set to white ( #FFFFFF in CSS ) emit a lot of light. You can turn the brightness down but this affects all programs not just the text editor.
Many people have some difficulty with black letters on a bright white background, the contrast is too stark. This is the reason for dark mode, white letters on a dark background, the majority of the reading area is dark and this is easier on the eyes.
But there is another solution. Black letters on a non white background. Imagine a printed page, the paper doesn’t emit light, it just reflects ambient light. This is much easier on the eyes, black letters on grey (or beige or cream or some other colour) with a little less contrast is much easier to read for long periods of time.
Hope this helps.
How about this unofficial release:

It comes with an option to force light background, no matter what theme:
That works fine for me. Thank you!
flag works fine. But the white colors of the workspace on a black background burn my eyes out…
besides, there is a small glitch - if i move the workspace with the middle mouse button, it changes its color to inverse and stays that way until i click and drag the mouse with the left button. this is embarrassing.
