 +
 +===== Intro =====
 +
 +
 +On April 2008, in some [[Ubuntu]] [[IRC]] channels, I was wondering about "Dark themes" 
 +
 +  * https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/openweekhardy/Artwork
 +
 +
 +It seems that many applications do not support dark themes properly, because:
 +
 +  * many colors are hardcoded and not using GTK/QT/... stylesheets (ie: grey on black, light grey on white, marine on black etc) 
 +  * transparent images on inverse video
 +
 +See Examples in the BUG section
 +
 +===== ToDo =====
 +
 +If you think it's a good idea to start focusing on this issue, please help by posting at this place :
 +  * http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4851464#post4851464
 +
 +Then I'll update this page :
 +  * http://rzr.online.fr/q/dark
 +
 +Expected contributions are 
 +
 +  * report applications name (plus desktop+theme) (screenshots are welcome too)
 +  * report bug upstream (or on your fave distro if lazy) and tell us URL
 +  * seek for hardcoded colors , provide patches
 +  * write recommendation, tutorial, code practice etc
 +  * anything else ?
 +
 +Then If you think starting a "darkteam" is also a good idea, please tell me :
