If you’re working with Blender for documentation (specifically print documentation), the default theme (Dark and Light) are either too dark or too low-contrast to be nicely readable in print, whether on paper or in e-ink. So I made a theme to try and make up for that.
There are a few rough spots (the drop-shadow on the text overlay in the 3D Viewport… and the fact that you can’t easily invert the color of the toolbar icons), but after testing on an e-ink tablet, I think it works reasonably well.
You can download it from here and try it out for yourself: print-friendly.xml
Brilliant, i needed a good contrast white theme for daytime… I sit with the sun right in my face by the window, so this makes things a lot easier to see. thx for sharing.
Thanks. Actually, I just did a small update to it this morning. @ChameleonScales pointed out that non-mesh objects were difficult to see while you’re transforming them. So I made a small change to fix that.
Blender actually turned on on e-ink tablet? Till now I wouldn’t have thought of it.
That sounds doable :o. It is possible to run Blender on Android and there are e-ink tablets with android, but i bet it wouldn’t be usable at all :p.
I see. The built-in light theme has them and I find it more readable, although too contrasted. I think they shouldn’t be pure black but that’s another discussion.
@Fweeb In case you missed my toot:
another thing:
the icons of the properties tabs (e.g. constraints, modifiers) become hard to read when selected. I personally changed the highlight color to C6ECFF.
This color is under User Interface>Tab>Inner Selected
However, this also affects the workspace tabs so I made the “Text Selected” black so it stays readable.
The best would be to keep a dark highlight and make the icon white when the tab is selected (just like the text) but I don’t think that’s possible.
I got your toot… though at this point I may leave it as-is. Going that light on the highlight doesn’t aid readability much for me and I’d prefer to keep the inverted text color for the highlighted workspace tabs.
thx for sharing.
