The Indigo branch is an unofficial experimental user interface version of original Scribus. This project includes a new application layout, control elements, different color themes inclusive dark and bright icon sets and workflow improvements.

The initial idea was born in early 2015 in the Scribus forums where some Scribus users developed a basic concept which has been improved steps by step - the result is the Indigo UI.

Goal

Goal of this project is to improve the usablity of Scribus for beginners and professionals. It is not the goal to bring new features to Scribus which are not related to UI.
