Hi Jerry, I have started using your Budget Editor for Moneydance and find it quite useful.

However, I have one small issue that perhaps you can help me with.

I have Moneydance setup using light pastel colors and the text colors, (green and cyan), on Budget Editor are too light to see. Is there any way to change the text colors to a darker shade to make them easier to see? Thanks, Dave

Hi Dave,

I think I use the default Moneydance colors for that but let me look into it.

Thanks for the quick reply Jerry.

I was wondering if that was the case.

The colors are actually the blue and cyan, not green.

In any case let me know what you find out.

By the way, your extension definitely is an improvement over the MD standard.

I hope IK certifies your work, well done.

Regards,

Dave

Dave,

A couple of additional questions. Are you using one of the default themes or is this a custom one? If default, which one?

I mostly use something called the defaultTextForeground in the app. If you are using a custom theme, can you try changing the second setting (Default Foreground) and see if that helps?

I am using a custom theme, like I mentioned, it is a light pastel theme.

The “default Foreground” color is black, so that does not apply.

I reviewed the other colors shown on MD preferences that I thought applied to the colors in question and revised them, but did not change the appearance.

I will try one of the standard themes and see if that changes anything and will let you know.

Hi Jerry,

Just to update, I have tried several of the standard MD themes.

The “solarized Light” and “Classic” themes have the same light cyan color.

I have attached a screen shot showing a small section of the budget editor screen, this is the MD “classic” theme.

The “Flat Dark” theme shows the text in readable font colors.

I hope this helps.

Dave

Dave,

I didn't get the screenshot, maybe you could send it again? Unfortunately, I use the Flat Dark theme so I didn't see this problem. In the editor, are all rows too light to see or is it only some of them? I do have some rows that I force the color. The first row "Income-Expenses" is light blue and parent rows are cyan. Re-reading through this makes me think these are the problem rows and normal category rows are ok. Is that right?

Jerry

droland49 commented 1 year ago

I have attached the screen shot again.

The problem rows are the “Income-Expenses” in light blue (not too bad) and especially the “Parent Rows” in cyan.

It appears that the forced row colors are the issue.

All other rows use a black font and are just fine.

The colors in the dark theme look fine, but if a lighter theme is chosen the light colors are too light to see clearly.

I’m sorry if I was not clear initially in describing the problem I was having.

Dave,

If possible can you test this version and see if it is better? I had to zip it to get it to upload here but the contents is budgeteditor.mxt.

droland49 commented 1 year ago

Hi Jerry,

I have attached 2 screenshots, one using “Classic” theme and the other my custom theme.

As you can see, the text color is much better.

Since your extension is so clean and well laid out, you may want to consider having all text the same throughout.

That would avoid any issues going forward with some other custom theme.

Just a thought however.

Thank you for the help on this, excellent job on this extension.

Regards,

Dave

One last thing, can you make the same changes to the “Monthly Budget Report” extension?

I have the same issue with the font colors on that as well.

Many Thanks,

Yep, already did. I'll send out a formal release soon or if you want I'll send you a test release. By the way, the color I used for non-dark themes is the "Color to be used for text when report calls for 'Blue'" color. So it can be customized if desired.
