I took a look at the code.

I think the transformColor: is exactly the relevant direction. But, I think there are still two issues to be addressed:

1. The logic does not yet work for everything. For example, lightRed is can be distinguished on white, but is barely so in the dark theme.

2. The more problematic issue is the mismatch between the script and the result.

Take a look at this example:

view := RTMondrian new.
view shape circle color: Color black.
view nodes: (1 to: 42).
view layout grid.
view

On a white theme, it looks like:

On the dark theme, it would be:

The problem is that in order to get the desired light gray result, I have to write “Color black” and this does not work.

How about introducing the notion of a ThemedColor?

Something like

ThemedColor new

for: RTDarkTheme use: Color lightGray;

for: RTWhiteTheme use: Color black

And some derivates:

ThemedColor new
forDark: Color lightGray;
forWhite: Color black

Cheers,

It's done. Thank you very much, Alex! 
We only need to tune some colors for the best result in both themes.

Hi,

As you could see, in Pharo we turned the Dark Theme on by default.

The question is what should we do with Moose. I think it would be great to have it working with the Dark Theme, but the problem is that the Roassal visualizations do not appropriate in the current theme because of two reasons:
- they were conceived on a white canvas
- the colors are hardcoded

Showing a white canvas in the Dark Theme is not an option. Either we introduce a mechanism to adapt the visualizations to the current theme, or we keep a different theme in Moose than in Pharo.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Doru
