Making the UI darker - How?

Mon Dec 12, 2016 3:15 pm
What can I say, I'm addicted to the charcoal scheme everywhere now ;D

I already set the Theme to Krita Dark, but are there additional ways to make it even darker? I'm not scared to dive in my Krita Windows folders to find the file that holds the hexnumber for the colors, or is that like Pandora's box because of the alpha masks you're using on buttons etc?

Find a folder called color-schemes -- that contains all schemes. The file format is pretty much self-explanatory.

Found it, opened it in Wordpad which list all the colors and settings nicely, but it says access denied when I want to save after changing something. Is that a lock that the team put on it so it doesn't get changed by accident during dev, or do I need to use a specific software to unlock it? *I'm on Windows

No, that's because WIndows doesn't allow ordinary users to write to files in the Program Files directory. You can either make a local copy in appdata of the folder (appdata/roaming/krita/color-schemes I think, but if you open the resources folder with the button inthe resources manager, you'll be in the right place) or you can edit the files as administrator.

Ok, thanks, it all works. Now the challenge is to identify what exactly is used where :D
