A couple of theme issues

[Noah Meeks]

Hello! I just started using yWriter and I like it a lot. I've reviewed the discussion around themes and I'm aware that the tabs and such are unthemed. I can deal with that. There are a couple of places where I'm getting black-on-black (or dark-on-dark, at least) in areas that are themed, and I haven't seen any solutions or suggestions related to that. The biggest problem area is the column headers in both the chapter and scene lists. It also happens in the scene editing window, where you put the title at the bottom (there's a workaround for that since you can see it in the main interface). 

This is with version 7 on Windows 11. I've attached some screenshots. Any help is appreciated!

A couple of other spots: with anything but the default theme, the Character/Item/Location window is a solid color. I can tell things are there because they pop up when I click on them, but there's no color change no matter what I do. Similar problem with the "Scene List" window. I swear at one point it came up with a white background and the text color in the theme (bright green) but now it's solid gray except for some coljmn/row lines. I've attached my current theme, too.

I've been attempting some systematic testing, which has narrowed the issues down a little:

Changing FieldBG to anything other than white is what blanks everything out on the Character/Item/Location tabs/windows. That part is 100% reproducible. It's also what's affecting the scene list window but not always. Worst kind of bug to hunt down, I know.

Changing TextFG sometimes only changes the left hand side of the Character/Item/Location view, but again not always. It's hard to be sure, but I think the issue with FieldBG is interacting somehow with TexttFG. Sometimes all of the text under C/I/L is the wrong color (not TextFG). Closing and reoping the program usually seems to sort that particular problem out.

The program uses an algorithm to pick a contrasting shade of the same colour for certain items - I believe I did tinker with this recently, to correct an issue, and if so the latest yWriter Beta should have that code in.

The part that doesn't sound right is having to close and re-open the program to change the colour.  That sounds like a different bug entirely.

Sorry, I missed this reply for a while. Is there any particular troubleshooting I can do to help?

If you email me the log off-list, I can see if there's a glitch there.

Are you using the latest beta version, or latest stable?
