[FIXED] Dark Mode Toolbar Buttons Low Contrast; Hard to See

Post by ChicoThorn »

I love Dark Mode and use it exclusively... however, many of the Toolbar buttons are of such a low-contrast light color they're difficult to see on the dark background. This is particularly annoying with the main selector tools. It would be great if you could darken the tool buttons so they're higher contrast and easier to see. Please see attached screenshot.

As far as I know, it is a limitation of the development environment. The blue or default themes are the only one that are usable for me. The green them is barely usable, but I don't like dark themes on any software. Contrast is poor, as you say.

Unfortunately it is not as easy as using a pure black background. See all disabled buttons.
