Unsolved QtCreator-DialogDesigner-WidgetTree Selection Color
-
Hello,
the hierarchic view for the widgets on the dialog is a very useful feature, but the alternating row color in the grid produces a problem:
A selected entry (not focused) has (nearly) the same background color than the alternating row color. Therefore its is impossible to see what is selected in the tree when I click in the dialog designer.
How can I fix it ? -
well, when i first started to use Creator
this drove me nuts as u cannot see
which is active.Best solution is just to use Dark theme as its very, very hard to make a new style
and only have that color change.I tried and had side effects all over Creator.
feel free to try also
files are here

Hi @mrjj,
thank you for you answer. Dark theme is a absolute no-go for my "old" eyes.
I have made a copy of the default theme and changed the color values .
[Colors]
BackgroundColorAlternate=ff3d3d3d
BackgroundColorDark=ff232323
BackgroundColorHover=ff515151
BackgroundColorNormal=ffffffff
BackgroundColorSelected=ff151515
BackgroundColorDisabled=ffefebe7
I had no success. Nothing has an effect.Have you any hint, which values I should try ?
Someting to change the alternating background color for tables or the selection color. -
hi
well I have old eyes too and I dislike dark themes.
I tried to change ALL colors in the default theme but that selection color did not change!?
So I took the dark theme and change all colors, which did affect the selection color
but I overwrote the file by accident so I have no more info what key is for the color.But it seem not possible with the "light"/default theme to change it.
But the dark could. Also the dark seems to use fusion style so I assume it realted to that.
