I created a proffessional Dark theme that fixes most annoyances i have with existing FreeCAD themes. I use Dark Themes for aid in visual impairments and Design asthetics. I am by no means a coder and reversed engineered everthing by searching the forums and DuckDuckGo. I modified the Stylesheet to fix as many design elements asthetically as possible. Some elements must not be stylable or have bugs in the code (e.g. The nudge qButton in the lower right bottom) Theme plays nice with other "Pro" software such as Blender, AutooCAD, Affinity Photo, Divinci Resolve, QCAD Pro, Visual Studio Code etc. Set the colours of Start Page to represent the theme as with the Background and Working Plane Grid. Fixed small Font problem on 4K screens by a user Mod python script posted by a Forum Member (should be coded into FreeCAD considering 4k monitor popularity). For viewing, Right Click-View Image-Zoom

Here you goStill can't change hard to see Dark Blue Links scattered here and there (which are horrendous on 4k)

Thanks!
Looks good!

Hmm...maybe someone know how ? If not we should open a ticket for it on the tracker

Thanks! I'll still search more for the Dark Blue Link problem before opening a Ticket. The Nudge QToolButton still seems to be a bug as it still has this problem discovered in 2015 (see image)

It's weird that the drop-down button goes inside the button because you loose area to push them so it would be great to style them separately so that I'm able to increase the width of the menu ones

By now that's it... step by step we'll surely be able to fully style FreeCAD
Thank you very much!!

Also there doesn't seem to be any light icons for use in Dark themes on the Navigator picker flyout (see image)

I've corrected the lack of light Navigation Icons by choosing a complimenting colour. Quite acceptable til someone figures it out

Hi turn211,

It is not possible to switch to white colored icons with the stylesheets. I should be hardcoded in FC and then added an option in Preferences to select the "dark" or "Light" theme.
And I don't know how to do it, I'm just the stylesheet designer...

Sorry

Yes I thought this was the case. Any way i can fix the overlapping text on the nudge button bug with stylesheets or is this a hard coded error? Great job on the Stylesheets. A few more comments would have been helpful but i'm not complaining as I build houses for a living, not a coder Thanks.

Nice work

Hello turn211, thank you for uploading your efforts. it has instantly replaced my personally hacked-together-qss! i, too have struggled (to no avail) to style the blue-underline links. I hope somebody figures this out!
I was wondering, though, if by any chance you could create a github repo of your style sheet? downloading and inflating zip files is a bit cumbersome and by putting it up on github we could a) follow your efforts and b) use pull requests or issues to collaborate on it (although, if that is precisely what you want to avoid, that is fine, of course, too
