Troubleshooting

These items may solve your problem. Please check those you've done by changing - [ ] to - [X]

  • Searched main docs for your problem www.PySimpleGUI.org
  • Looked for Demo Programs that are similar to your goal. It is recommend you use the Demo Browser! Demos.PySimpleGUI.org
  • None of your GUI code was generated by an AI algorithm like GPT
  • If not tkinter - looked for Demo Programs for specific port
  • For non tkinter - Looked at readme for your specific port if not PySimpleGUI (Qt, WX, Remi)
  • Run your program outside of your debugger (from a command line)
  • Searched through Issues (open and closed) to see if already reported Issues.PySimpleGUI.org
  • Have upgraded to the latest release of PySimpleGUI on PyPI (lastest official version)
  • Tried using the PySimpleGUI.py file on GitHub. Your problem may have already been fixed but not released
Detailed Description

It's just that. While looking through the list of themes, I thought it would be a nice idea to have some high contrast theme options to make it easier for devs to make their programs more accessible to everyone.
A random article I found on the web (probably not necessary but anyway) about the topic:
https://uxdesign.cc/high-contrast-when-you-think-the-dark-mode-is-enough-d190218d4bba

Anyway, I hope this contribution will be useful somehow and will help devs create accessible apps really easy.

Code To Duplicate

A short program that isolates and demonstrates the problem (Do not paste your massive program, but instead 10-20 lines that clearly show the problem)

This pre-formatted code block is all set for you to paste in your bit of code:


# Paste your code here

There's no relevant code to show i guess...
Screenshot, Sketch, or Drawing

Watcha Makin?

If you care to share something about your project, it would be awesome to hear what you're building.
Just a chess client...
