Optimal-DK-darker.colors

Hmm, I tested the color schemes. I find them as far too bright and contrastless for a dark color theme. Also against Darktable and RawTherapee, whose color schemes I consider normal. Are you sure that your monitor is set correctly?

Maik

Hi. Yes, the grey is not as dark as in other dark themes, but it is done on purpose as not to contrast a lot with the text (which is in a lighter shade of gray). Actually, it is similar in color to the dark theme in Gimp. Moreover, it is a neutral grey color, so it does not lean toward a warm or cold color, which could affect how we perceive the pictures in contrast. (And yes, although not perfect, my laptop screen is calibrated).

Actually, I had made some comparisons with gimp, darktable, lighroom... in the original thread http://digikam.1695700.n4.nabble.com/digiKam-users-Dark-themes-for-digikam-td4709037.html but now I see that some pictures and links are broken. Here, I reuploaded some examples for comparisons in imgur: https://imgur.com/a/C2tdSXG

Also, this is why I also made the Optimal-DK-darker, so it's more similar to default dark themes in other apps.

Maik,

I checked these themes, and i think comment #6 is valid. Comparison with other dark themes from Gimp, Darktable, Rawtherapee is good to see (look link to imgur).

We can incorporate 2 themes of this set as proposed to replace older dark themes which have problematic readability with some widgets (see bugs #385148 and #406408).

Maik, we needs to statute of this file...

Start to support Breeze style from Plasma desktop in digiKam bundles to prevent a broken rendereing of widgets and icons when breeze theme is used.
Intentional: this do not includes decoration and kcm parts, only the core libs plus theme files --> these implementations must be available as a KF5 component, not in Plasma
A KDE application ALSO work under MacOS and Windows, not ONLY Linux. As usual, reduce the puzzle please.
