Hi Mirek,
A few minor observations in TheIDE:
1. Would it be possible to change the default syntax highlighting color in dark theme for 'Current file errors' to #E25500? My red-green color blindness makes it next to impossible to find the dark red boxes. To me they appear almost black.
Occasionally, I need to change between dark and light themes while editing. Then all custom colors cause even more trouble, so changing the default would be better.
2. In layout editor the layouts and widgets being edited do not react to dynamic light/dark theme changes very well. Maybe some SColors or AColors need to be employed.
3. There is the "Help & Topics (in window)(Shift + F1)" icon in the toolbar that has fuzzy (low resolution) icon in dark mode while the light mode icon is sharp and clear.
4. In dark theme, I have an ArrayCtrl filling the entire window. When opening the window, loading a lot of data to the array will take a while. For some reason, meanwhile, the window client area is white. That is logical for light theme, but in dark theme it is quite a bright flash effect in dark. So maybe the initial fill could follow the theme colors in effect.
Thanks and best regards,
Tom
PS. As an alternative to 1. there could be custom colors stored separately for both dark and light theme, so that they get loaded when theme changes.

Hopefully all fixed, will be rc4 tomorrow. Except that color was a bit too harsh, tuned down it a notch, hopefully it will do.

That would be ideal, but I do not want to meddle with that now...

Thanks Mirek,
That was fast!
1. Now I can see it, while it's still a bit slow to find it. 
2. Layout editor is much better, but at least LabelBox and StaticText could yet switch their text color.
3. Perfect! 
4. For some reason, the window still opens filled white when in dark theme. Could it be because of the ArrayCtrl then?
Best regards,
Tom
EDIT: It's not the ArrayCtrl... I removed the code that attaches it to the window, but still the window opened white until it had time for paint.
