Looking for Theme Testers

[TooWaBoo]

I've created a test TooWaBlue theme to address the issue of different DPI settings.
The layout grows with the font size. I don't know if it solves the issue, so I need some testers who can test different DPI settings and post some screenshots.

TooWaBlue-GTK3-20_.txt
TooWaBlue-Dark-GTK3-20_.txt

1. Download TooWaBlue-GTK3-20_.txt
2. Rename the file extension .txt into .css
3. Move it into the theme folder
4. Run RT, open Preferences and select "TooWaBlue"
5. Click OK and restart RT

@TooWaBoo Keep in mind that we (i.e. @Beep6581) will generate several icon size in a near future to each high-DPI support, I don't want you to make useless fine tuning (but it's up to you of course).

Also there are lots of in source functions to control spacing. You can look for set_column_spacing, set_row_spacing (gtk3 functions) and set_border_width, set_spacing. I don't have enough time to replace everything and will probably only do it once the Gtk2 branch has been dropped, but you can still ask me to delete the ones that are annoying you.

Thanks for the info, but 99% are finished now. :-) I've updated the test file to version 2.
The sized images are no problem, as long as they are smaller or equal as the button itself.
Right now I can live with the hardcoded sizing. We can talk about this when you are working on it.

At the moment I'm intersted how the theme looks like on high DPI settings and on a Macintosh (different font rendering). I'll hope there are some poeple out there, who can do some tests.

@TooWaBoo you can test for yourself using the environment variables GDK_DPI_SCALE and GDK_SCALE.

@Beep6581

Testing on my systemis is easy. I'm setting different DPI values, or changeing the font size.
What I want to know is, how it looks like on other systems and/or OS. eg. the font size value on OS X is not the same like in Windows.

btw. Where can I find those environment variables in Windows?

Test theme update to version 6 in the first post.

In Linux they can be temporarily set from the same command which launches the executable, so it's quite likely the same thing will work in Windows:
GDK_SCALE=2 GDK_DPI_SCALE=1 C:\rt\rawtherapee.exe

Expect RT to look broken on 1920x1080 regardless of theme.

Expect RT to look broken on 1920x1080 regardless of theme.

This has nothing to do with the theme itselfs. If your DPI setting is set to 200% the system is scaling up all images except the tumbnails. This happens with the RT theme too.

[Beep6581]

I know, that's why I wrote "regardless of theme".

[TooWaBoo]

You can also set a DPI in the theme by doing this:

* {
    ‑gtk‑dpi: 120; /* 120dpi*/
}

[Beep6581]

That's the equivalent of using GDK_SCALE=1 GDK_DPI_SCALE=2 (replace "2" with whatever), i.e. only text is scaled, but real HiDPI requires GDK_SCALE=2 which scales all elements, not just text.

TWB test update to version 7 in the first post.
Checkbox, radio button and scrollbar resizing added.

@Hombre57
I can't resize the filmstrip scrollbar. I guess there are some things hardcoded. Could this be the reason of the scrollbar stuck issue? Maybe a floating scrollbar will fix it.
