Apparently it's not Gnome 50. It's Loupe. Or more specifically, Loupe forcing "Dark Mode" when I'm in "Light Mode (With CSS Overrides To Replace The Bright White With Mid Grey)".

GTK Inspector seems to indicate that the button is using a semi-transparent background colour (because of course "deal with the interaction between a widget and the colour of the background behind it" is a thing that you'd want to do?!) and so it's not playing nicely with mid-grey.

Looks like I'm spending more time fixing CSS again. Which I needed to do anyway, because Gimp 3 is already doing a whole bunch of janky stuff.

It's not even like I want much. Flat themes are a bit crap and trend-following, but I can live with it. Gnome now has accent colours, which is great. All I want is dark title bars and #cccccc window backgrounds (a bit like when openSUSE had the Sonar theme in 11.4) so that the whole desktop isn't eye-searingly bright (or that odd cream colour that they went through for a while)

All we need now is the ability to change the main widget colour (to darken to a mid-ish grey) and the ability change the header bar colour (to make it dark) and we'd have loads of control for really nice theming built-in to Gnome!

A few more accent color things landed, e.g. settings illustrations can now follow it, calculator has dropped orange, new dialogs disambiguate suggested/destructive styles, while papers and sysprof properly redraw when accent changes now (and it's all in gnome os, incl. shell finally). So yeah, it's all in a fairly good shape now ^^ (other than blue folders) (📎4)

Painted a few pieces up to try out a colour scheme that I'm thinking of using for my StarGrave crew.

I used a random reaper scifi trooper figure and a Battletech mech to try it out. I might tweak it a bit to darken the red for a bit more contrast but overall I'm pretty happy with the result.

Very happy to see this issue closed via commit and very much looking forward to seeing the new fully-light light mode in GNOME :)

Excellent work on a holistic light mode for GNOME. Currently GNOME has a dark mode and a “mixed mode” and the “mixed mode” is used when the light colour scheme is active. If that sounds inconsistent, that’s because it is.

The design work presented here would fix that and provide a consistent light mode:

@ru Ah, thanks :) It’s the Pencil theme on Black Box terminal.

Black Box has built-in support for GNOME’s dark and light (oops, I mean “mixed” mode – https://ar.al/2022/08/17/lipstick-on-a-pig/) mode and it supports themes for each.

Lipstick on a Pig: learning the most important lesson in design

I just released a little tool called Lipstick on a Pig that helps keep the visual appearance of supported command-line applications in sync with the current light/dark mode setting (colour scheme) of your system in GNOME. But why is this tool even necessary to begin with? Let’s start at the beginning… Getting to GNOME you The GNOME display environment1, since version 42, implements support for light and dark appearance styles (aka colour schemes).

So, for the 34% of you who answered yes, if you’re on GNOME and you want your CLI apps to automatically switch to the correct theme when your system/terminal does, check out Lipstick on a Pig:

https://codeberg.org/small-tech/lipstick

I’ve added support for three apps I use regularly (Helix Editor, delta, and bat) and you can help make it better by adding plugins for apps that you use.
