Notes unreadable when using dark system theme #163

Closed grandfso closed 5 years ago

grandfso commented 5 years ago

Hi there, I'm running debian testing based ditro with Mate desktop. I am running a dark system theme and have issue with readability in nvPY. The font and background seem to be selectively applying my theme settings (lighter font) but the background reamains white.

I tried to set background = black / yellow / green etc. in .nvpy.cfg but it does not seem to work. Font size settings are picked up.

Yeah I have the same issue. Its almost impossible to read! Not sure where its pulling this light grey from!?

Please set the background_color option. It will change the background color of note list on left side and note editor on right side.

# ~/.nvpy.cfg
background_color = black

That's a lot more usable now, thanks. However still far from perfect. I now can hardly read the selected title on the left and I have no idea where my keyboard cursor is on the right. The only way to know is to type something lol :-(

I need a reproduce environment. Could you tell me your environment info?

crazzyfool commented 5 years ago

Yeah sure. I'm using the i3 community version of Manjaro. What information can I provide you with over and above?

yuuki0xff commented 5 years ago

Thanks. That's good enough. I'm installing it.

I'm added some options in ce2d3543a301b3eaf3f6bd057b076994c76af48d to change colors. In nvpy-example.cfg, I wrote examples of light theme and dark theme. Please try it.

Light Theme (default)
