Re: [PATCH] Dark Theme Fixups

 

Hi Windsor,

Thank you for the patch, I like the results. Personally, I would love to
have it merged, but we need to check if it does not break anything on
other platforms first.

Regards,
Orson

I duplicate this code in 3 places where the white border was most prominent (toolbars in the manager, eeschema, and pcbnew). I assume this routine could be centralized and called before any time the AUI manager is updated, however I don't know the KiCad codebase well enough to approach this.
