[Theme] SirMottes Magnificent Darkness

[SirMotte]

Hey everyone. Sorry for the late reply.
I've updated the Forge version with the fix Saagael supplied for the calendar issue. No version change.
Life, death and my job keep me busy.
'll try to make some room to read through everything at the weekend.

Cheers

Hello, and thank you so much for the theme that saves our eyes. I have a few questions (comments? complaints?) First while it's dark it's a bit... to dark at least in the starfinder settings. I totally bet this is my monitor settings, but sometimes the brown menu's with their brown boarders are hard to see the brown edges, of the brown other windows behind them. Then there's the x in some of the windows, with no background of it's own, blend into other windows.
With that complaint out of the way the reason i'm posting today is 2 fold
On the character sheet, (and party sheet) we have the Starship tab, all the other tabs have nice bright text, but these 2 are dark. I'm told they are images, I'd love to be able to assist with the code to change it, but I wouldn't know where to look. (like what .png should be found / updated to bright colors) if I could help out with that, I could also brighten the ones in the inventory tab.

Thanks for the praise and critique, so let's see:

Darkness and Contrast:

The theme was developed at 120 cd/m² brightness on an professionally calibrated wacom cintiq 27qhd. Keep in mind that a lot of monitors have very weird factory settings, so I'd suggest to either use tools like Spyder Elite (can be rented), X-Rite hardware like the ColorMunki or the "i" calibration hardware suite. This might be somewhat overkill (still highly recommended) so there are easier methods out there to do the process manually (eyeballing, but better than nothing).
I will try to provide a link to some good ones soon, you might want to google a little in the meantime.

The frame borders have seen around 3 iterations by now and I'm pretty happy in general with their appearance, I will however, take your feedback and test some more iterations with even brighter dual frames than they're already using.

Misaligned elements:

This is something I can't easily fix, as I only change the provided graphics with some minor tweaks here and there, but I steer clear of anything in regard of messing with frame values. Sorry, I'm unable to fix this (some of the issues are present in the official themes as well mind you ).


Icons:

I assume you're running Starfinder, which has only very basic support by me. I had planned to conquer the missing icons and graphics at some point, but l a healthy work/life balance is unobtainable to me for quite some time now (I'm extremely overworked lol ). Maybe ask around in the forums or discord, if someone is willing to provide further support. I can gladly make my design files available, as I don't see providing the graphics myself in the foreseeable future.

He lives! So, beware of the new Theme changed test (not sure it will effect you or not). Also, let me know if you plan or even can resolve the map UI anomolies where color differences make highlighted layers unseeable.

I really like the theme but some of it is showing up as black on dark grey for me, particularly the tabs in the combat tracker and the speed ranks used by AD&D's combat and tactics mod. Also target symbols seem unreadable in the combat tracker UI for me. Is there anything I can do for this? https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...1332/image.png

Show a screenshot of the Chat window on loading your campaign. What other extensions are being loaded?

An update - my players do not seem to report this issue, it only seems to be effecting my end as the DM.

two things to try.

delete corerpg.pak and 2e.pak (can also delete the extensions in the vault) and rerun the updater

disable the other extensions and add them back in one by one

also are you running on Live or Test channel?
