Code editor in dark mode and integrated designer in light mode ?
-
Hi all,
I just upgraded Qt Creator to 15.0.0 (I was using 13.0.0) and I was greeted with the latest theme : Dark (2024).
My color scheme is : Dark+
Everything looks really nice but the integrated Designer is now in dark mode (it was in Light mode before) and I find it harder to see the widgets, the frame shapes etc.I already tried to change the Environment->Interface->Color , Environment->Interface->Theme and TextEditor->Font&Colors->ColorScheme to White/LightMode but only the code editor changed to Light mode and the integrated designer stayed in dark mode.
How can I leave the editor in Dark mode and only switch the integrated designer to light mode ?
I don't want to open the standalone Designer (only available in light mode) as I only need to make small changes and don't want to lose access to the the "Go to slot" function...Thanks for all help!

There is https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-31917, but it's not quite covering this issue.
I think it would be beneficial to have a widgets designer that is usable in Dark mode. Please do create a bug report about this.
Toggling between Dark and Light mode for the designer could be an option, I guess. In order to see the differences between the two modes.

The integrated widget designer is following my OS main theme. The standalone designer is not.
Changing the appearance (ubuntu20 - gnome) to light mode and restarting QtCreator changed the widget Designer to light mode but the code editor stayed in dark mode as desired.This is not a permanent solution as I want to keep my OS theme in dark mode but at least I can do this little trick before running Qt Creator for the moment.
I posted a bug report as suggested.
