Full dark theme for the GoldenDict interface on Windows

Tested on GoldenDict 1.5.0-RC2-491 (Qt 5.12.3) on Windows 10, 8.1 and 7.
See screenshots below.
For README in Russian see here.

Installation

  1. Move styles and fonts folders to the GD Configuration Folder.

    If GoldenDict is installed by default, the GD Configuration Folder is located at the:

    c:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\GoldenDict\
    

    For a portable installation, the GD Configuration Folder is located here:

    GoldenDict\portable\
    
  2. Move the icons folder to the GoldenDict program folder: c:\Program Files\GoldenDict\.

    To return to the original GD icons, you need to remove the appropriate rules in qt-style.css - see comments inside.

Main window background image

The Main Window background image can be replaced or its transparency can be adjusted. See the comments in the ARTICLE WINDOW section of the article-style.css file.

You can also replace the pattern file for collapsed articles. See the corresponding comment in the ARTICLE BOXES section of the article-style.css file.

Color palette

Colors used in qt-style.css:

Color Description
#2B3339 main background
#232B30 darker background in tables and some input fields (in the Dictionaries... preferences)
#4E5B65 frame lines; unfocused elements highlighting
#C7CBD3 text
#0080FF (brigth blue) accents & focused selections
#A40000 (rubin) highlighting in the search field in case of a negative result; accents on close buttons

You can change the color-code with the Find/Replace tool in any text editor.

  1. Drop-down lists size. Search by keyword drop-down list size. Then change, comment or delete the corresponding values.
  2. Font typefaces and size. Search by keyword font. Then change, comment or delete the corresponding values.
