Also, even though y'all made you themes for LS3/LD, nonetheless take note as when @realthunder gets his Preference editor changes merged upstream it would be still appropriate to distribute your themes as preference packs 😉

Made ProDark Pack https://github.com/turn211/ProDarkThemePreferencePack but can't get it to work with manual install.

Heads up stylesheet devs, the default blue color in property editor can be modified now. Note: a restart of FreeCAD is needed to see the changes. Details: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?p=630033#p630033

Edit: thanks to @wwmayer and @MisterMakerNL

So nice to hear it... I have been fighting with link colors so many hours without luck, but now I see that the solution was related with restarting FreeCAD to see the changes... grrr

That is a frustrating feeling, for sure. Maybe worthy of opening a feature request to try to make it work in real-time. Or we should let folks know, in CAPS, that thus is necessary for certain stylesheet elements

[MisterMakerNL]

It's weird that if I switch from my test theme with orange link colors to my published theme I still get blue links without restarting. After restart they are orange again.

Added ExtremeProLight by @MisterMakerNL to OT

Has anyone here seen this https://github.com/dprojects/scanObjects by @dprojects ? Could this be useful aid helping with stylesheet themeing ?

[MisterMakerNL]

I checked it and I think I could find some usefull information. I found this about the constrains list that we have issues in theming. Now only decipher it too Qt.

        <Property name="Constraints" type="Sketcher::PropertyConstraintList" status="1">
            <ConstraintList count="25">
                <Constrain Name="" Type="1" Value="0" First="0" FirstPos="2" Second="1" SecondPos="1" Third="-2000" ThirdPos="0" LabelDistance="10" LabelPosition="0" IsDriving="1" IsInVirtualSpace="0" IsActive="1" />
                <Constrain Name="" Type="1" Value="0" First="8" FirstPos="2" Second="2" SecondPos="1" Third="-2000" 
            </ConstraintList>

Also checked QtGui but that was more general information about the Qt options there are. Or I missed something.

Anyone interested in creating a colorblindness theme ? FreeCAD/FreeCAD#6862

Heads up to theme/Pref-pack devs: FreeCAD/FreeCAD#7888 is a PR by realthunder that adds an overlay to the Gui doc widgets.

https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/7888/files#diff-a2f9cae4d1847cafe1a9a5765834b9b90c9b761bbf92c4df9f53c1dd0fc001dc shows the stylesheet additions that will be available to theme once this is merged.
