Just a suggestion here. Qubes Blue looks very nice on light themes IMO.

css selector is treeview:selected {background-color: #63a0ff}

I think it needs more contrast. The current dark blue BG is OK if the text is white.

Hi @marmarta,

I have a possible solution for the text visibility issue in the Qubes OS Update tool. By fixing the background color and changing the text color to ensure better contrast, we can make the UI more readable regardless of the theme the user is using.

For example, using a light text color (like white) against the current dark blue background would enhance readability significantly. This change should help improve the user experience across all themes.

Similar to what @alimirjamali said we can add:

treeview:selected { background-color: #63a0ff; color: #f5f5f5; / Change text color to gray / }

Let me know your thoughts!

Or maybe write the function for adaptive coloring based on user's theme?

Can you post a screenshot how it looks?

marmarta commented 2 weeks ago

seconded the question for a screenshot - and also, I think that generlly this can be a sufficient solution, as the background color does not adapt to theme (I think)
