Full DarkTheme for Spyder

So I read in this Reddit post [https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/4uoyce/spyder_color_scheme/] that there's an option for Spyder to be fully dark themed.

Unfortunately, since I'm very rookie, I was unable to install it. Here's what I've done:

Any help, pls?

On Spyder3 this worked for me (sorry for missing credits, I do not remember where I found it):

  1. pip3 install qdarkstyle

  2. sudo gedit /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/spyder/app/mainwindow.py (or search for the good path: locate mainwindow.py)

  3. at line 3109, before "return app" (followed by class Spy()), insert:

    import qdarkstyle
    app.setStyleSheet(qdarkstyle.load_stylesheet_pyqt5())
    
  4. restart spyder3

(Spyder maintainer here) A full dark theme will be part of Spyder 4, to be released later in 2019.

If you want to try it right now, you will need to install Spyder 4 beta2, the first version to have it available and which is going to be released on May 15/2019.

The instructions to use this beta can be found here.
