This design choice was influenced by the feedback that the user survey provided. 65.2% of users expressed a preference for dark backgrounds, 19.6% for light backgrounds and 15.2% for some other combination (generally no-preference or requesting multiple themes). Future releases will likely include an easy means of retheming, though it doesn't look like that functionality will be available in a user friendly way for the initial 3.0.0 release.

There's a small number of widgets which make use of a fixed padding (in addition to a linearly scaled padding term), but otherwise very little is specified in terms of pixels within the codebase. Basically as long as large changes in the aspect ratio aren't made everything rescales very nicely (IMO). jonetsu wrote: > Was the GUI layer created from scratch or is it an existing toolkit ? It's a completely new toolkit. Work on this project initially started with a Qt project back in 2014, but using an existing toolkit didn't benefit things substantially given the overall requirements. The new toolkit is called "mruby-zest" (or just zest). It uses an embeddable ruby interpreter, mruby, to power the overall app and it uses nanovg to render all graphics via opengl. Overall the custom code for the new toolkit and the new UI amounts to around 22,000 lines of code, so it's not tiny, but I get the feeling that if it was implemented in another toolkit that number would be larger still. Most of this code is in a pseudo-qml like format, so at least that notation was borrowed from Qt. --Mark
