Styles

TLDR; The customization.py file is designed to provide users with the ability to adjust the visual aspects of the application to better meet their preferences or requirements. This file contains a dictionary named styles as well that outlines various parameters for customizing colors, transparencies, and positions of different elements in the application.

This is still in development. Maybe unreliable.

Understanding the Styles Dictionary

The styles dictionary within the file is structured to define a range of visual attributes for different elements. Here’s a detailed look at how you can utilize and modify these settings.

Color Schemes are defined by keys 0 and 1. These keys correspond to pairs of color values that can be used to apply a specific color theme across different components of the application. For example, key 0 is associated with a light blue color (#9ce4f3) and a dark blue color (#128099), while key 1 pairs a light pink (#ec96f2) with a dark purple (#c90dd6). You can use them for different channels for instance.

Positions for various UI elements are specified under the postions key (mainly sliders). This includes the number and values coordinates, which dictate where numerical and value indicators should appear within the interface. The coordinates [0.1, 0.25] and [0.2, 0.25] are examples for positioning numerical indicators, whereas [0.1, 0.1] and [0.2, 0.1] are used for value indicators.

Limb Appearance settings are found under the limb key. This section allows you to adjust the color and transparency of limb models within the application. The alpha value of 0.1 ensures that the limb appears very transparent, while the color #FF7F11 gives it an orange tint.

Reference Appearance is defined by the reference key, where alpha is set to 1, indicating full opacity, and color is set to 1, which typically represents white in RGB color space.

Isosurfaces customization is handled under the isosurfaces key. Here, the transparency levels for isosurfaces are specified. The alpha value of 0.3 adjusts the general transparency of isosurfaces, while alpha-unique at 0.8 applies a higher transparency level for unique or highlighted isosurfaces.

User Interface (UI) Colors are controlled by the ui key. The primary color (#0d1b2a) sets the main color scheme of the UI, while the secondary color (#fb8f00) is used for accent elements, providing a vibrant orange contrast to the primary dark blue.

Applying Customizations

To change the appearance of different elements, you simply need to update the relevant values within this dictionary. For example, if you want to alter the limb color, you would modify the color attribute in the limb section. Similarly, adjusting the UI color scheme involves updating the primary and secondary colors under the ui key.
