Pathfinder 1e and 2e Selection Box Fill Missing with Core Dark Theme
When using the "Theme: Core - Dark" option, my players and I have been having some trouble figuring out which boxes are selected on the character sheet in Pathfinder 1e or 2e games on any page where doing spell preparation choices is present. No other extensions are loaded.
When running the Core Dark Theme with D&D 5e rules, we see filled in boxes like this, with a clearly bright blue fill for the box, possibly in addition to a slightly thicker gold/brown outline for the selected boxes:

When running the Core Dark Theme with PF1e or 2e rules, we see selected boxes as only the thicker gold/brown outline with no fill. It's very subtle.

Could it be improved to show actual fill in the PF1e and 2e rulesets?
The light grey fill on the standard Core theme is also really subtle in the PF1e and 2e rulesets and could similarly stand a tweak for greater contrast when a box is selected (filled).Last edited by Terminsel; June 5th, 2025 at 02:06.

came here for the same issue. it's not just core dark either. its all the pf1e themes. in the preparation tab you can't tell the difference between selected and unselected spells.FG_sheet_cannot_see0.png

Thirding this, we have the dark theme selected for player's accessibility needs in pf1e (it's just easier for them to see), but the current lack of contrast makes spell prep extremely cumbersome, especially since we're high level (and planning to go mythic later) and have lots of spellcasters.

Thanks for reporting. I'm actually working on a revamp of the power counters for D&D, so I'll share that with PF2 developer when it is ready.

The PF1E preparation mode has been adjusted to avoid this issue; and I've passed along to PF2 developers.

I've just tested this with no extensions except the Theme: Core - Dark. Although it is now much more obvious that a spell has been selected it has introduced other issues.
In Preparation mode, when you Prepare a spell it adds a blue mark to the box but it is not registered as prepared in the text box above (See attachment)
In Standard Mode, when you Cast a spell it adds a blue mark to the box but it is not registered as cast in the text box above (See attachment)
In Combat mode, no spells are displayed at all. (No attachment as nothing to see
)
