Aesthetic coherence in new 3D-App [Beta public FW12969]

[Tim Wessman]

Please provide some suggestions for the changes and I can see what I can do. Take a screenshot of the "problem" places and do some color adjustment/tweaking and show what you are thinking. I'll be much more likely to understand and possibly help.

The issue you are describing is more the viewing angle of the screen though I think. Looking at it straight on I have no problem seeing the default selection blue.

Here's the main color shade defaults:

Code:

//dark theme
COLOR(DefDarkDrawingAndTextColor,242,242,242); // default drawing and text color (White)
COLOR(DefDarkSecDrawingAndTextColor,33,33,33); // default secondary drawing and text color (dark grey)
COLOR(DefDarkBackgroundColor,25,25,25);        // default background (dark grey)
COLOR(DefDarkSecBackgroundColor,9,32,51);      // default secondary background (dark blue)
COLOR(DefDarkSelectionColor,29,57,75);         // default selection color (blue)
COLOR(DefDarkSecSelectionColor,23,53,70);      // default secondary selection color (faint blue)
COLOR(DefDarkShadowColor,156,156,156);         // default shadow color (Grey 55)
COLOR(DefDarkSecShadowColor,86,86,86);         // default secondary shadow color (Grey15)
COLOR(DefDarkSel2Color,88,138,180);            // default selection 2 color (darker blue)
COLOR(DefDarkSecSel2Color,40,84,120);          // default secondary selection 2 color (mid blue)
COLOR(DefDarkDrawText2Color,255,65,65);         // default draw and text 2 color (red)
COLOR(DefDarkSecDrawText2Color,170,44,44);     // default secondary shadow color (mid red)

Here's the "selection" colors:
