Textadept window border

[potty-trained]

I want dark mode.
this is not darkmode
how tf do i make the window border dark so its true dark mode

[orbitalquark]

Textadept's window and GUI widgets inherit the system style; it cannot change window borders.

if I may be so bold to ask, since you have CURSES could you add a way to edit the border, or perhaps make an official plugin

perhaps a tutorial as to how to do so on ones own terms?

No, sorry, this is out of scope. I don’t know which OS you’re on, but on Linux the window manager is responsible for drawing window borders. Try changing your WM settings. Curses refers to the terminal version of Textadept, which has no concept of window orders.

I am on windows, if that changes "I don’t know which OS you’re on, but on Linux the window manager is responsible for drawing window borders. Try changing your WM settings."

I see. You might try looking into how to enable dark mode on Windows then. Note that Textadept does not (yet, I hope) update its color theme to match its host OS dark mode settings, so you'll have to manually set the editor theme to dark.

i am in dark mode, i have the dark mode theme, just the window border is white and it looks horrible with the rest of the app being dark mode

[orbitalquark]

Right, sorry. I don't know how to fix it :(

hey man dw its a great app regardless, i like it very much and serves its purpose well

On Linux TA seems to already respect dark mode if the environment/WM is set to it. On Windows it apparently has to be set by the application. I don't have a lot of experience with Qt but this might help: https://github.com/Alexhuszagh/BreezeStyleSheets
