BoardRipper v0.50.0

v0.50.0 — 2026-10-11

Added

• Four new colour schemes for the board, each one owning every colour on
  it — pins, part bodies, outlines, the selection, the dim and the copper:

  • Dark — near-monochrome: parts are grey outlines, every pin one quiet
    grey, ground a dark teal, and colour only for what you select (yellow net,
    red part).
  • Landrex Classic, redrawn the way Landrex Test Link drew a board: black,
    an olive board edge, lavender part outlines, every pin the same blue.
  • Light — white sheet, dark ink, part tints from the same few hues as the
    pins.
  • Atari (light) — the 2600's silver label and black ink, every colour
    taken from the five rainbow-stripe colours.

  BoardRipper Default is unchanged and stays the default.

• The underside has its own pin colour in the new schemes, so red means
  power and nothing else.

• On the new schemes, part names and pin numbers stay readable over dark pads
  (a halo, or black/white text where the scheme's own would not read), the
  boxes behind net names follow the scheme instead of always being black, and
  the minimap is drawn in the scheme's colours.

• PDF colours (issue #41): the ◐ button now opens a menu, like the wand
  beside it. Besides inverting, it can darken the paper while keeping red and
  blue lines red and blue, or use exact background and text colours you
  choose. Two sliders handle coloured lines: Colour (down to grey, i.e. your
  text colour) and Contrast with Auto, which lifts pale lines so they stay
  readable on the new background.

Changed

• Switching the colour scheme turns the dim off, on open boards and for
  new ones. On the new schemes the dim appears only with a selection and fades
  toward the background instead of black.
• On the tinted schemes a large part's fill fades with its size, so a
  connector covering a third of the board is a tint, not a block.
• Drafting Paper, Daylight and Blueprint are replaced by Light; an install
  that had one of them selected opens in Light. A custom scheme is kept as it
  is.
