Dark theme only changes note backgorund

[leighss]

Nixnote2 Version: 201812080901 Xubuntu 18.04.1 with ARC-Dark theme

When I change theme to ARC-Dark within Nixnote2 only the background of the note changes to dark

I have seen #239 but I already have a dark theme in my OS (see above)

Thanks

see https://github.com/robert7/nixnote2/wiki/NixNote-Themes and https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/05/get-qt5-apps-to-use-native-gtk-style-in.html it worked for me on Ubuntu 18.04

basically I only added export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2 in my profile and it worked

@robert7 I tried the above. But doesn't look like it made any difference to nixnote? I selected the dark theme from edit, theme, dark editor. Running ubuntu 18.04.1 & installed nixnote from apt install here: https://github.com/baumgarr/nixnote2

Off topic a little:

• How/what can I change to use any theme, say Dark Theme in this case, but change the default background for all note views to for example to white?
• Maybe better, how can I copy the Dark Theme and create my own custom theme with this change?

@joshbmartin As you see, it works for me. From your text, I'm not sure whenever you used the "original" 2.0.2 version or mine 2.1.x? For me, with 2.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 if works (see the linked wiki page). In order to help you, I would need more info what doesn't work etc.

@Twoflower2 you can adapt the themes using CSS; the themes are just text files, you can copy/update. I didn't have time to write wiki article about it, but you can find some info in https://github.com/robert7/nixnote2/issues/21
