# TeXstudio-Qt-Stylesheet
Dark mode Qt stylesheet (WIP), developed primarily for TeXstudio, a LaTeX editor. Built around a dark colour scheme (majority being different shades of gray and dark blue), with red and blue accents. Also, there's red text highlighting, instead of the default Windows blue, for fun! `:)`
Slightly modified from (and credits to):
- https://github.com/ColinDuquesnoy/QDarkStyleSheet/tree/master/qdarkstyle
## Sample images:
**Main text editor and internal pdf viewer**
**Menu**
**Config Dialog**
## To Use:
**Mandatory:**
- Place `stylesheet.qss` and the `rc` folder into [TXS config folder](https://github.com/texstudio-org/texstudio/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#where-are-the-settings-stored).
- Replace C:/Users/**user**/AppData/Roaming/TeXstudio/rc/ with your name in the stylesheet
For **best effects** (cf. sample images): I would recommend using the following settings (change under `Options -> Configure TeXstudio`):
- `General -> Color Scheme -> Modern` (instead of Classic);
- `Syntax Highlighting`: Choose a dark colour scheme you like from [How can I set a dark theme in TeXstudio?](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/108315)
**Optionally/Personal taste:** Change the internal PDF viewer _background_ colour, and the internal PDF viewer _highlight_ colour. These are not controlled by the Qt Stylesheet; You can customize this in `Options -> Configure TeXstudio -> Internal PDF viewer -> Paper Color` and `Highlight Color`. You'll need `Show Advanced Options` checked in the bottom left hand corner of the config dialog to see these options.
I have also provided a `texstudio.ini` file that should give your TeXstudio the complete look: it has all default settings except for 3 things:
(i) the background colour and syntax highlighting of the editor window (mine is modified from Solarized Dark theme),
```
[formats]
version=1.0
data\align-ampersand\bold=true
data\align-ampersand\fontFamily=
...
...
...
data\braceMatch\wrapAround=false
```
(see the provided `texstudio.ini` for the full list -- just grab everything below `[formats]`).
(ii) the internal PDF viewer background colour (a slight yellowish colour), and
```
Preview\PaperColor=#faffcf
```
(iii) the internal PDF viewer highlight colour (pale blue).
```
Preview\HighlightColor=#77b8f93F
```
If you don't want to override your current settings by using the provided `texstudio.ini` file, you can just replace the corresponding lines within your `texstudio.ini` instead.
## To Do / Unsure how to fix at the moment:
- Symbols side panel and a few icons are black (on transparent background?), thus are hard to see with the dark background of everything else (cf. `Math -> Math Accents`). Whereas others (cf. `LaTeX -> Font Styles`) are fine;
- Table in `Config TeXstudio -> Syntax Highlighting` is a mess.. Not sure how much of it can be influenced/fixed by QSS; Fixed since [git_0ba02d0](https://github.com/texstudio-org/texstudio/commit/0ba02d0250a6ffb1a9302966ff8820194e17d336).
- Some pop-up dialogs still not inheriting the QSS, (cf. `Edit Macros` dialog, `Select Color` dialog);
- The "right-click context menu" in the editor not inheriting QSS as well (the "right-click" context menu on the internal pdf viewer, inherits it fine, however);
