Dracula theme misrepresents Sketcher geometry by using swapped & divergent colors #30

Closed brandonbeaumia closed 1 year ago

Sketcher colors in Dracula diverge far enough from the defaults to make it less obvious what each is supposed to represent.

In default FC, construction geometry goes from blue to muted blue when constrained. In Dracula it goes from bright cyan to a muted purple'ish blue. These colors don't seem close enough to me to suggest a relationship.

In default FC, reference constraints are blue, matching construction geometry and therefore invoking the same trait of being "imaginary". In Dracula they are bright green (the same color as a fully constrained sketch, for some reason?)

In default FC, orange represents an expression-dependent constraint. In Dracula it represents external geometry. This is especially confusing seeing the same color for a different type of geometry. In default FC, external geometry is represented by magenta.

It's very hard to reassociate these colors after years of using FreeCAD without a theme, and every time someone watches a tutorial it only serves to reinforce the original colors.
