Some themes incorrectly have white backgrounds? about rise HOT 15 CLOSED

Yes, it is a know problem because of the notebook css... the easiest solution is theming you slides in the custom.css with a dark background... I will publish my custom.css soon, so you can take a customization example from there... btw, I will let this open until figured out the best solution.

I think I isolated to one line in the CSS file. I made a copy of moon.css, and I added the background section from sky.css. This line makes the background work in Chromium on Xubuntu:

background: -webkit-radial-gradient(center, circle cover, #00121d 0%, #002b36 100%);

If I comment out that line, then the background is white.

ok, I will take a look into this... if it is usable in the other darker themes, we can probably include it in the RISE main.css.

Here's where I inserted:

It seems that moon.css doesn't have all the needed definitions.

I think the main.css should also tweak the code cell colors to fit a dark background.

I'm looking at your blog about changing IPython themes, but that method seems to be incompatible with RISE.

I'm looking at your blog about changing IPython themes, but that method seems to be incompatible with RISE.

Did you see my talk at SciPy2014?

OK, so I borrowed one of Jan T. Sott's custom.css files (Bespin Dark) from the 48 themes for IPython. I added it to the end of moon.css.

It's halfway there. In[ ] and Out[ ] are still blue and red, and the output text is black (not good on a dark background.)

Also, the borders around cells are too bright.

Know where I can get a whole list of Notebook elements?

I did see your talk, but I don't remember all the details.

I added you on G+ / Hangouts. Contact me there. I'm going to be away from the computer now.

Tomorrow I will post my custom.css... which is also applicable to RISE... so, you will get all the details about the things to modify... it is a little bit late here, and I have to take some rest ;-)

Another trouble with dark backgrounds is that they make the bright-colored border of the IPython Notebook "pager" area very conspicuous.

Usually the pager area is collapsed along the bottom edge, so it appears as a light-grey border along the bottom of the slide. This looks like a mistake when the rest of the slide is dark in color.

Am I splitting hairs?

from rise.

You are not splitting hairs... thanks for your input... it makes the things better... btw, you are right... the customization is probably something without end. I will try to help you with the customization as long as I can ;-) Probably, moving forward, we can post some guidelines in the wiki and so on...

Hey @damianavila , did you post your custom.css somewhere? (sorry if I couldn't find it). I'm trying to modify things, but not sure where to start (this is a great project by the way, salud!)

from rise.

I did not posted anywhere yet (not time to do it), but you can get some ideas/guidelines from this old blog post about customizing the IPython "static" slides... http://www.damian.oquanta.info/posts/customizing-your-ipython-slides.html

We can eventually ship some custom css to help the darker themes. I will open an issue for this general enhancement, close this one and make the corresponding reference.
