New coloring bad in dark theme

Running latest git (loc_testing) - the new DXCC&grid background makes them unreadable if you are using a dark theme - the light letters on the light background don't have any contrast. The code needs to either change the font color or just modify slightly the original background(XOR 0x101010???), not set it absolutely.

New coloring bad in dark theme

HI!
Do you use the very latest version? (2024-04-22)
In first version I used darker yellow and green, but then changed them lighter. The idea was that lighter colors would be more closer to white background and so would be better with dark mode.
I have no proper setup to test dark mode, so all this is just guessing.

With "normal" mode coloring has showed up to be very useful. I can try xoring but having just grayed view of band and mode does not sound very attractive idea (for "normal" use, at least)

Hi!

XORing is bad idea. It does not work for light mode that should have different hex for xoring.

 

I have now tried to dig out first is the background light or dark and then decide how to change colors.
please try version dated 2024-04-26 and tell what you think.
You can also suggest other colors to dark mode as I have no way to see the result here. I do not like to mess up my computer and did not succeed with setting of dark theme for virtual Fedora39/lxde.

You will find colors setting  from src/fNewQSO.pas line 6240.
Note that colors in hex are BGR format.(nor RGB as in HTML)

This change is made also in contest/common status grid.
