The Mana World Forums

It's a darker version of the default manaplus theme, the color palette still needs work, suggestions are welcome.

I'm sorry if commenting on old posts is unwelcome here, but this theme is extremely good.

It's a simple dark alternative to blacknblack with two immediately apparent and major improvements:

• The theme doesn't use saturated colors. Gui elements in an rpg benefit from not competing with colorful saturation of in-game-objects This helps in-game objects exist in a different 'visual space' and 'pop' more to the eye.

• The theme corrects blacknblack's invisible inventory selection hilight, which is a serious problem because the blacknblack user cannot see which item is currently selected.

For this reason i renamed the directory dark to mikkodark1 and will submit to the manaplus git under issues, after testing a few days. If Mikko is around perhaps he can comment on naming it. I'd suggest something like melodark.

[EDIT]Things to improve:

• Server Text in chat windows is far too dark to be readable. Tab hilights could be more prominent to help user see when a new message has been received.
• Right click context menu text still using blacknblack's deep-red. That's out of character.
• Annihilated window text is offset wrong.

Loving it though...

I don't think he is around... You may want to pm him which would send an email to him.

Please make sure to submit to https://gitlab.com/themanaworld/manaplus/manaplus as well.

We do not plan in breaking compatibility with M+ official version, but we have no plans of actively pursuing it either; Since dev teams went separate ways over some minor disagreement it is possible that M+ stops working with TMW in the future.

You're not, but unless you attach them, webp images won't be rendered. Blame phpBB for that one :p
