I now tried all the following permutations with a restart in between each of them and all resulted in Scribus being displayed in a light theme:

Windows 11 Pro OS build 22631.3374
Scribus 1.6.1

Windows Color    Scribus Theme    Icon Set
Light                     blank                    1.5.1

Code / The Scribus releases: going fo...
Last post by a.l.e - April 05, 2024, 10:12:53 AM
Today, I have a suggestion concerning the future version numbers of Scribus.



TLDR: Starting from the next release, Scribus should use a simpler x.y release number schema (the next values being 2.0 and the following one 3.0) instead of the current 1.x.y one.



Up to now, Scribus has been using a versioning schema that was very common in the past:

  • development starts in an odd version (like currently 1.7.0svn), and
  • when the software is ready for been published in a new version a new even version is created (the next, 1.8.0, is planned for the end of the year; 1.6.0, followed by 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 came out at the beginning of this year).

The world has changed, and nowadays few software stills uses this schema (Gimp being one of them) but most just use x.y.z (Inkscape, Blender) or xxx.y (Firefox and most browswers) or flexible schemas (MacOs, Windows) without giving any special meaning to the numbers (except that, mostly, bigger is better).

And most users seem to have a hard time understanding the current Scribus version schema.

My suggestion:

  • In the future each new release should increase the first number by one (so, after 1.6 there will be 2.0; it will be strange at first, but once we get to 4.0 nobody will care anymore)
  • There should be no different number schema for stable and development version: once 2.0 is released, the development of 3.0 starts and when it is ready, it will be released as 3.1 (or 3.14 if there are lot of pre-releases before)
  • This will also answer the question: after 1.8, should we have 1.10 or 2.0?
  • And it's more environmental friendly, since we waste less numbers...
  • (And, yes, we should keep 1.7 for this development cycle! No need to hurry.)

I believe that this change will simplify the communication with our actual users (even the MacPorts maintainers do not seem to understand it...)

Make sure you select the dark mode icon set too.

Tried all of them, with restarts in between, and in all kinds of combinations of Windows 11 theme settings set to light and/or dark.

Does this look different in Linux or OS X, with specific mention of a dark theme?

Thanks for all your input so far and no worries about the config files, I am still starting out with Scribus and experimenting.

When you say "making sure that you have a dark theme selected in scribus" , which themes are you referring to?

In the Scribus preferences I have the following choices under the Theme drop down list (see attached picture):
1. blank field
2. windowsvista
3. Windows
4. Fusion

None of these refer to anything being dark. Do I need to get additional themes somewhere?

2. Switched Windows 11 to dark mode
3. Deleted the entire C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Scribus folder (assuming the config files are stored there)
4. Opened Scribus, C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Scribus is recreated

However, still no dark user interface in Scribus. Is there something that can be triggered through command line maybe

not sure what to try now, Having used win11 ever. Hopefully a 1in11 user can chime in and help out.
Other than making sure that you have a dark theme selected in scribus. I'm not sure where else  to look.

I hope there wasn't anything important in your config file!

make sure scribus isnt running, navigate to the config file, and rename it.
Start scribus and see if this clears up the issue.

Linux / Pense-bête de quatre pages.
Last post by Matou953 - April 04, 2024, 03:50:35 PM
Bonjour.
Je souhaite créer un pense-bête de 4 pages ; au format d'une carte bancaire, 85x55 une fois plié ; dont voici les pages intérieures :

Mais quand j'importe le fichier ods les voyelles accentuées sont remplacées par des suites de caractères cabalistiques et je ne sais pas comment modifier les zones de texte.
Dans l'attente de vos conseils.
Matou.
