This enables me to see at a glance which session I have currently open, which is important to me since I do leave creator running all the time and switch between sessions a lot. I use different colors for all my sessions. Try the tinting by changing the color in Tools>Options>Environment>General>Color or wherever the settings are on Mac), and note that the color is saved as part of the session state. I personally like your designs, but the flat style has one severe limitation: It does not support the color tinting that the manhattan style supports.

Although Manhattan has some advantages, as you mentioned. It seems to me that most people are in favour of either a Light or a Dark theme option, but many seem to dislike the current Manhattan because it has too much contrast. To fully answer your question we would need to have Thomas and Alessandro's input as well.īut from all the feedback we have gotten about this topic, I'm now more inclined to keep the Manhattan style as an option (along with its color scheme) and continue to develop the new flat themes towards a Light and a fully low-contrast Dark option as well. Hi Tobias, thanks for bringing this issue up!

My suggestion is to keep the current one with gradients (aka "Manhattan", "default") the default for at least one Qt Creator version after the new themes are included and until issues are ironed out. Which theme should be the default when a user launches Qt Creator for the first time? Time will tell, I would say. Maybe we should even give all of the themes proper names like "Flat dark", "Flat light", "Very dark" and "Classic" (or "Manhattan" or whatever). I also suggest not just calling the new themes "default" and "light" because the current theme is already called "default". All icons will be theme specific, which means if you switch the theme, the icons will change along with the colors. These two new themes here will be integrated without changing anything in the current two "default" and "dark" themes. The reactions in the Blog showed that a part of the users wants to keep the old style. Now, let's define a few things here to make less people unhappy than needed. I think Tobias means that and also the fact that the proposed flat icons might be less tolerant against changing background colors than the current ones. However, the full flat colors mode does not support the tinting. That theming support allows to override the gradients from the "Manhattan" style with full, flat colors. Qt Creator added theming support in Qt Creator 3.3. That can be either done in the Options/Preferences dialog under "Environment/General/User Interface" or vie "-color" command line parameter when launching Qt Creator.
