    I thought I do some more work today on completing my PO theme. However I've noticed that I normally struggle to read the PP values in the Old Battle Window, mainly the move types closest to the colour white like Normal type, even in default Classic theme. After hours on designing a fancy background area. I thought I post my improvement on Classic theme.

    The black area where PP values are displayed are all in exact same neat places. If you want, I can provide a zip of the button images that I've used. Including a GIMP file type template I've made for new future button types.

    What about just making the text a different color, like black? Only Dark might have a problem.

    I experimented with outlined text in the team builder but the text was too small there, maybe I'll give it a shot again here

    I might be wrong, but I don't think there's a line in the theme css file to change the colour of that and I think I've gone through the entire file with my own comments marking what changes what, unless I missed it. Just a few areas I couldn't see any changes.

    The text hovering by the check boxes in battle window, I can't find the line for that either.

    Here's the buttons I've modified if you wanna try it btw. Copy the BattleWindow folder in the zip to the same theme folder source as seen in Classic theme in a copy of it for test. The template of the black layer is in zip too.

    I don't see any other solution. Use black and it covers Dark like you say, or white and it covers Normal. It's just an idea though with the black layers.

    Code (text):
    1. QLabel#AttackPP{
    2.      color:white;
    3.      padding-right:5px;
    4. }
    would be the code to control the PP. It doesn't look like there are any specific settings for the mouse-over tooltip.

    Best I can do for now with stuff. Left is offset of 2, right is offset of 1.

    I prefer the right to be honest and on my end, it looks a lot better, but everyone sees stuff different.

    Worst case, you can just change the buttons for your theme + the color of the text now that you know what controls it.

    EDIT: Played with it one final time:
    offset 1, blur 5

    Saving the snippet of code i used to create that last one just in case.

    QGraphicsDropShadowEffect*effects=newQGraphicsDropShadowEffect();
    effects->setOffset(1);
    effects->setBlurRadius(5);
    effects->setColor(Qt::black);
    pp->setGraphicsEffect(effects);
