Theme

Can you make the interface theme more modern?

Another user here. I don't understand what you mean by "more modern theme". You do understand that in Preferences you can design your own custom theme(s)?
Perhaps give an example of what theme(s) appeal?

Maybe they want the ability to save and switch between themes?

That they can do too. Leverage CodeBoxes to allow CherryTree to jump through hoops. And/or swap config files, for example.

Yes, we can set it as we want from the preferences, if you look at the interface, it looks like paint from 2010, it could be a bit more modernized, for example the note tree or the tools section. :)

I will try to find time to write up what I have in mind and in fact am now using. The broad principles are:

• leave CherryTree as it is .. no added features
• use CherryTree session as a staging post to create content to then be passed to other applications in a production chain
• use an external tool such as Albert (Ubuntu) or Alfred (Mac) or Listary (Windows) to orchestrate the "passing the baton" in a toolchain.

There are dozens of "modern themes" (post 2010) to learn across multiple applications and my reasoning is to use CherryTree as my one stop notebook .. one stop theme .. although themes can be switched such as dark mode .. see also multiple themes in Preferences > Theme.

Typing is the bulk of the work .. then polishing off content in destination application(s). Whether it be Pandoc, Zettlr, Scrivener, Scribus, Quatro, LibreOffice .. or even IDE's such as PhpStorm and Heroku for online content. I have realised that I need not learn the themes of a score of applications. However old or modern.

Thus CherryTree is my launchpad since bulk of work is writing, finding assets, structuring, then pushing to final destination in a production flow.

In Ubuntu I will be using Albert and a custom CherryTree extension. But even without a custom extension, in Ubuntu launch Albert by the hot key <Ctrl+Space> and type CherryTree.
