QDarkStyleSheet VS ux-improvements

If things became red you can refine it or get some inspiration.

[Juanita] After many discussions, mock ups, and meetings, decisions weremade and we were ready to move onto the implementation phase. A big part of the improvements were made in QDarkStyleSheet where we did the new palette and color system for both the dark and light themes of Spyder. In my opinion, this was the hardest part of the process since it involved getting familiar with the code first and then, trying and trying again changing lines of code to change the color or style of buttons, tabs, toolbars, borders, etc…

[Juanita] The first phase was discussing all the problems that Isabela found in weekly meetings with Carlos, the Spyder maintainer, and Stephanie, another Spyder core developer. I created a Google drive document (which we ended up calling “The Nightmare document”) in which I collected most of the feedback that Isabela gave us. Then, I grouped this information into categories depending on whether the comments were about the interface, in general, or if they were about a specific pane. Once we agreed on a relevant problem that we wanted to address, I opened an issue on a new repo that we created in the Spyder’s organization called “ux-improvements.”
