This page is for keeping track of bugs in Dark Audacity integration into 2.2.0 development build.
- I'm hoping it will reduce the overhead in tracking bugs and requests for improvements
Bugs
- Selection toolbar is inaccessible (does not respond to tabs normally and not read by Screen Readers)
- This is caused by theming the text. The fix is to support color warping (on/off) as an option, and with color warping on use the system settings for this control rather than faking it by new (colored) text items.
- On Linux Classic theme, the buttons are posterized
- This is caused by color warping from Windows default (bright) rather than from old default (darker). It will be fixed by using a darker default in the theme and color warping that to light on Windows.
- In Hi-Contrast theme the meter numbers are the same color as the meter
- The fix is probably to draw a contrasting background behind the numbers. An alternative might be to use two colors, one for when over green, and one for when over black.
- The pip on Mixer board is not rotated
- Will fix. Wasn't a problem in DA which had a round pip.
- Mac buttons in some themes (dark theme in particular) don't look good.
- Will fix.
- Colour at right end of meter bars is wrong when dragged, after having changed theme in the same session.
- Will fix.
- Tooltips for record-same-track and record-new-track don't update
- Not a DA bug, but made more obvious by DA. Fix to be done for both record and play.
- Old icon for record=append missing
- Will re-instate as an option.
- Note-tracks are not themed
- Will add an extra color for the zebra coloring.
- Spectrogram is not themed
- Will at least use the background colors in future.
- Graph labels in 'Plot Spectrum' are too light (in dark theme)
- Will fix.
Improvement Requests
- The ruler bar color can not be controlled independently of one of the selection colors
- These colors need to be split.
- The time-text-control has lost the color distinction between numbers and units.
- These colors need to be split.
- Themes do not adapt (much) to system theme
- This is a big chunk of work, and won't be in 2.2.0. It is most relevant to the Hi-Contrast theme where users may set individual colors for many aspects. Doing this well entails extending the color warping.
- Old themes not usable with new ImageCache layout.
- It's possible using an old debug build with EXPERIMENTAL_THEMING_PREFS to export as separate images, and then re-import with the new code, saving some work.
- Meter numbers can't be switched on/off
- Would be nice to have.
- With big fonts (e.g. in linux) the sizing looks messy.
- Not caused by DA, but would be nice to fix it.
- Naming of some items in rearranged menus 'not as previously agreed'.
- There may be mistakes in that, and even possibly something that was there is now missing. A list here of the problem changes would help. Some changes were made for consistency and have sound reasons/arguments for them.
Niggles
- The Light and Dark themes use the 'cotton reel' images for pinned/unpinned.
- Might get done as part of other work.
- Meter icons aren't actually buttons and highlight differently
- Might fix some time.
- Mute/Solo buttons do not have a hover effect.
- Not new. Might fix some time.
- The sync-lock icon has gone from the track display.
- If it is brought back it should do more than it did before. It is easy to tell what mode one is in with a selection present.
- Focus box invisible on buttons in darker themes.
- Outside our control.
- Many corners of the interface are not themed.
- So work still to do. Some will depend on using a system theme. The main work of theming is on things we draw ourselves, such as the track panel and the html text.
- ImageCache.png is confusing.
- It needs reorganising.
- Blue background on Hi-Contrast theme selected track-panel-info reduces contrast.
- Instead the surrounds for buttons should become cyan, and that will give greater clarity that the track is selected.
- Cyan selection in Hi-Contrast theme reduces contrast.
- This is tough. Maybe a blue and not as saturated would work.
- RMS vs normal colors in Hi-Contrast theme reduces contrast.
- Also tough, though a much bigger colour and brightness difference could be used.
- Dragger icons in ImageCache.png aren't used
- These are still owner-draw.
With EXPERIMENTAL_DA
- Mute/solo are stacked in wave-tracks but not note-tracks
- Yep, ought to be made consistent. One thought is to use icons.
- Dark logo 'vanishes' into background on a dark toolbar.
- Needs e.g. a ring around it.
