In "One thumbnail selected" I have selected one thumbnail wit tag "Apen". This is shown clearly in the captions list. In "Two thumbnails selected" I have selected an additional thumbnail that does not have the tag "Apen". I now expect the tag "Apen" in the caption list to become grayish, but nothing changes. Some of the other dark themes show a minimal, hardly visible change. However, if I choose a light theme (High Key) the difference is evident.
Ok, so it's about the tri-state view of the checkboxes. It helps to switch to the Fusion style here in digiKam Setup. The tri-state is a completed checkbox. However, the visibility of the frame is in the Fusion style poor. Maik
Correct! I tried all themes, including Fusion, but as you say visibility is poor. Perhaps a change request to improve it.

I'm having this problem too. As someone who's used to the highly visible tri-state checkboxes in the Mac version of Digikam, at first I thought that the Windows version just didn't have them for some reason. Even the themes with the best tri-state checkbox visibility (GrayCard, HighKey, and LowKey) are still hard to read at a glance.

digiKam 7.0.0 stable release is now published: https://www.digikam.org/news/2020-07-19-7.0.0_release_announcement/ We need a fresh feedback on this file using this version. Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier
I didn't notice changes compared to earlier versions. Still only the light themes offer sufficient tristate contrast.
Results for 7.2.0 are still the same. Only theme High Key offers sufficient contrast. This means that is the only theme I can use. See attachment.

With the Fusion style, which you can set in the digiKam setup, it is easier to see because a gray area is shown as partially selected. Maik
Excellent! Thanks.
