Font Color & Size Make Fonts Hard to Read

[koolx]

The font is grey and hardly readable. Please color them white and enlarge it.

Why all the Dark themes give the impression the applications are bub off/washed out :/ Having a more blackished theme would definitively increase readability

I haven't installed the dark KeeTheme yet, but if the screens are a good representation, I have to agree. Some of the disabled fonts are barely visible. I have some moderate vision issues & I need fairly good contrast.

Though disabled text / options are supposed to be less bright, you still need to be able to read them. Sometimes things are disabled when they shouldn't be. Or you may want to find how to activate some disabled options.

There are various guidelines for dark theme designs. One of them is that you shouldn't use white fonts on a black background, but if you need better contrast, I recommend using a theme created by @BradyThe - DarkenKP.

As for disabled controls, my hands are tied. Disabled control is drawn by the operating system based on colors of the active control. I will see if any hack is possible to draw it better.

Who the hell said white font on black background isnt a good idea?? Whoever said that doesnt know what he's talking about.

@xatupal just look at your own windows explorer in Windows 10 when you enable dark theme.. it is using white text on a dark background..

Your dark theme is pretty useless since it is very hard to read the text. Please fix this.

Whichever guideline/s you got this idea from is wrong or outdated.

I came here, as I find the default theme unusable, due to the dark grey text on a darker grey background. I am 25 and have good eyesight, and it's all but illegible. Since this plugin supports custom themes, does anyone know which fields of the custom theme INI affect text colour? There's so many of them.

EDIT: @madmax2, @koolx, @aFooBar, here's an edited version of the default theme: https://github.com/Darthagnon/keepass-better-dark-theme/

Text is now legible, alternating row colours are now visible (but still subtle), and settings URLs are red (done on a whim; you can change it back if you want. URLs in Notes are still too dark, but afaik those cannot be customised). I added comments on what sections I identified to be what.

[xatupal]

You were right. Contrast ratio between background and text was too low. I've increased it to the proper level. Old ratio: 3.81, new ratio: 7.09

@Darthagnon thanks for the great theme!
