Coming soon: CTk Theme Builder 2.3

[avalon60]

77Release 2.3 of CTk Theme Builder is on the way. I spent much of the time restructuring the code to make it more object oriented. However, that aside, we have a few new features on the way:

• Widget Scaling - you can control the widget scaling of the Control Panel, Preview Panel and QA app independently. This makes it easier to fit all three on the display, at the same time. The settings are stored as preferences and auto-applied.
• Addition of an eye-con to one of the buttons, depending on whether you are previewing in Light or Dark mode, the colour of the icon flips between black and white. This is intended to help you determine if colour choices might not work with button icons.
• Colour cascade. This allows you to cascade a colour from the theme colour palette, to related objects. E.g. setting all widget borders to the same colour in one stroke.

This last feature I have been working towards since 2.1. This does a lot of heavy lifting, especially in the early stages of theme development.
As an example, consider the current border settings here:

Note that the border colour in the theme palette is a shade of grey.

By right clicking the grey tile we see the Cascade colour option:

When selected we are prompted to confirm the action (you can disable the confirmation in Preferences, if desired):

Now with the one extra click, we get:

There are cascade options available for all the palette tiles, excepting the Scratch tiles. So for example, the Button tile colour, can be applied to button color, of all widgets with a button.

This last feature is arguably, one of the most powerful features of CTk Theme Builder.
