IndigoUI is an experimental UI framework for Scribus. The primary focus is to adapt the Scribus user interface and experience to the needs of modern desktop publishing software.
This project does not claim to be full software. It is a test balloon of the user interface that can be tested for both usability and technical runnability.

Currently, there is no in-built option to switch the theme. To switch the theme you have to change it in config_manager.cpp
list->insert("app_default_theme", DirPathsManager::instance().themeDir() + "scribus_light.qss");
