Modifying Themes

Development

The problem is the colors selected do not show the light text color of the dark theme. So the colors of the background needs to be able to show both;

Here is a site that allows selecting the various values to set colors. Notice the scale is 0 to 255. The scale used by the gdk code is 0.0 to 1.0.

I have not found the same type of tool for a 0 to 1 scale. But using 100 and 150 as the main numbers, dividing by 255; I substituted the numbers in the code.

Original code

    self.categories_translated = [_(cat) for cat in self.categories]
    self.colors = [
         Gdk.RGBA(0.9,0.9,0.99, 0.999),
         Gdk.RGBA(0.9,0.99,0.9, 0.999),
         Gdk.RGBA(0.99,0.99,0.9, 0.999),
         Gdk.RGBA(0.99,0.9,0.9, 0.999),
         Gdk.RGBA(0.9,0.99,0.99, 0.999),
         Gdk.RGBA(0.99,0.9,0.99, 0.999),
    ]

became

    self.categories_translated = [_(cat) for cat in self.categories]
    self.colors = [
         Gdk.RGBA(0.39,0.39,0.58, 0.999),
         Gdk.RGBA(0.39,0.58,0.39, 0.999),
         Gdk.RGBA(0.58,0.58,0.39, 0.999),
         Gdk.RGBA(0.58,0.39,0.39, 0.999),
         Gdk.RGBA(0.39,0.58,0.58, 0.999),
         Gdk.RGBA(0.58,0.39,0.58, 0.999),
    ]

Seems to work for both light and dark themes. But you and @kku can play around with the palette.
