Please assume that QT (Theme) can use old CSS. So what we can do is within this limit.

• Qt Style Sheets Reference

1. If the value is fixed in the program, not in the theme, the value cannot be changed. Program change required. Please request at qBittorrent.
2. CSS structural limitations. To specify a value, it must be distinguished by a "parent> child" structure. Or have a class. For the same structure "Tab> Table", the same value is specified.

If the above two conditions cannot be solved in a CSS style (Qt's qss), the program needs to be improved.

I am almost a beginner about the program. I am not involved in the program. I don't know.

@omarelmassry : My comment is old. I kept improving. Bottom is changed by me, because "Content" 's icon not visible. Left is probably different system font.

Hi!
Any chance for a milder dark theme, with warm color?
I rather dislike cold colors with dark themes, and even more so them being too harshly dark.
So I've been, using mumble-dark with the updated icons (the official has the same color for most of the icons, which is really bad for usability ). Even this has more blue than I would like with the category icons, progress bar, highlights.

Unfortunately its outdated, and produces visual glitches with recent QB versions. Particularly the progressbar text.

It's easy to add a new theme if you can find the numeric value of the dark theme. It's easy if you find a theme. It's easy if I just specify the value of an existing theme. e.g. Themes: https://github.com/maboroshin/Notepad3ColorTheme

However, the adjustment can take a great deal of time.
Simply use a warm theme and swap blue and red. It can take some time as you seem to be telling me to turn blue into red. Red is already assigned to error messages and so on.

Also, changing the color of the blue-based icon to something like red-based will take additional time.

Also, qbit takes a little time to compile and check.

Actually I'd be happy with the glitch free Mumble dark with new icons or with the category icons* of your themes. Mumble dark at least doesn't have a bluish background, it's dark grey instead. I'm somewhat surprised you don't have one since jagannatharjun's themes is named as the source.

*One notable weakness in your icons is that the start/pause icons are not colored differently.

@maboroshin do you think it's worth changing progress bar styling. I am thinking to disable progress bar styling again (like before 4.3.x versions). It causes more problems than it solves.

[maboroshin]

@jagannatharjun
It is too complicated to be disabled as described below. #21 (comment)

is it possible to use this for Webui?

[maboroshin]

Different from WebUI. You can use Dark Reader. https://darkreader.org/

Or, If we can use these things, maybe we can modify them.
https://userstyles.org/styles/160858/dark-qbittorrent-webui

[maboroshin]

Or, Dracura theme has dark Webui, But it's broken on version 4.5.0.

In future versions, the .qbtheme system itself may not be available. : See "Allow to modify default UI theme" #18214

Drop support of legacy .qbtheme themes

qBitTorrent was going to discontinue this qbtheme feature. However, it has not been discontinued.
qbtheme is difficult to adjust but changes specifications often. Please request that qbtheme specifications not be changed to the developer. Otherwise, all qbtheme changes will be necessary. qbtheme updates are often infrequent and many incomplete qbtheme remain.

The app now has a built-in color adjustment feature. I recommend creating a color theme for this new built in feature. It would be helpful for everyone to share this as text data in a configuration file.
