In that case you should adjust the color scheme of your system. I am pretty sure there are high contrast themes/schemes shipped with Windows.
And please do not get too emotional. Dealing with imperfections is a part of the deal when using an open source software. The whole idea is that you can download the source code, patch the bug and suggest it to the developers or just keep it for yourself. It does not happen very often in real life because most users are no programmers but emotional comments do not help either. Just a suggestion.

It is not only a quality from my screen, it is also a proble at the moment because I am using it in the garden in the shadow.

The problem is ot the pictdititing, the problem is to read all text and buttons of the program. I do not editing pictures on my laptop, I want to geomap, add tags, manage the collections and so on.

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem. It does not matter what system you are at (Linux, Windows, Mac). I think it is just a low quality of a laptop's screen. I use an external monitor most of the time which solves the problem. When I am working without an external monitor I kind of know now how the colors are going to look like on my large monitor, on paper and on my phone/tablet screen.

Many people use calibrators to make picture look the same on all displays as well as on paper but I guess I am being too cheap to spend $100 on a device without trying it first. I should have just bought it but I personally don't believe that a color scheme going to make picture on a crappy display look any better. Hopefully I am wrong.

Subject: Editing or changing colorschemes on windows

 





First let me say, I realy like digikam!

 

I am a windows user!

But the existing colorschemes for windows make me crazy!

For my desktop with a better monitor I found a scheme, that is far away from perfect, but it enables me to work with it.

For my laptop I cound not find any of the included schemes that is acceptable for me. The differences in gray are so small, that I cannot see for example the different buttons and the icons on it. Standard scheme shows unreadable tool-tips!

 

 

Is there a possibility to edit the colrschemefiles with a little comfort? Editing in text and restarting digikam is too timeconsuming.

Or is there anyone who has colorschemefiles with more contast and will share with me?

 

Many thanks Fritz
