Colors palette feature is old

Post by Thy Grand Voidinesss »

I maybe mistakes about why, but the fact is that greatly modern interface of version 1.5 still uses the same old, crude, whitish GUI for the feature of choosing colors from a palette. I reckon this is because this part of Everything does not utilize all that good stuff that came along with the arrival of dark mode to Windows

Here is a comparison of the feature in question from [free] legacy Notepad2 [https://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html] and from its [free] successor Notepad3 [https://www.rizonesoft.com/downloads/notepad3/]:

As you can see, the newer version has more modern look and bigger scale / area of colors - and I wish such change would be implemented also in Everything

Support for dark theme dialogs is on my TODO list.

Thanks for the suggestion.
