How to edit a Theme?

Jago · December 21, 2020, 7:03pm

I would like to tweak a theme for colors. Where would I find the files related to this? I did download the source code and unzipped it and there are a lot of subfolders. I am willing to learn how to compile/make the source if I can get a handle on where the relative theme folders or files are that define colors. Any help appreciated/

    } else if (MLT.producer()) {
        result = MLT.saveXML(filename, (MLT.isMultitrack() || MLT.isPlaylist())? MLT.savedProducer() : 0, withRelativePaths);
    } else {
        // Save an empty playlist, which is accepted by both MLT and Shotcut.
        Mlt::Playlist playlist(MLT.profile());
        result = MLT.saveXML(filename, &playlist, withRelativePaths);
    }
    return result;
}
void MainWindow::changeTheme(const QString &theme)
{
    LOG_DEBUG() << "begin";
    if (theme == "dark") {
        QApplication::setStyle("Fusion");
        QPalette palette;
        palette.setColor(QPalette::Window, QColor(50,50,50));
        palette.setColor(QPalette::WindowText, QColor(220,220,220));
        palette.setColor(QPalette::Base, QColor(30,30,30));
        palette.setColor(QPalette::AlternateBase, QColor(40,40,40));
        palette.setColor(QPalette::Highlight, QColor(23,92,118));

Awesome thank you so much!
I used to program in C and C++ so the code makes sense to me and I see how I could change the colors. I just need to figure out github/git (something new to me) but I will study up on git and how to compile the code somehow if I want a custom theme for my PC (I would share the theme but I am not sure how but maybe if I get a nice theme variant someone here might approve it to see if it could become added to Shotcut)

I love shotcut, but one thing about flowblade i like is being able to chance the color of a track; that is what I would like to see with shotcut, even if I have to customize it myself for my pc usage
