Normalize error messages when running with insufficient privileges

problem
Currently, running notion-enhancer without root (sudo) or admin rights gives out some really cryptic and verbose messages.
solution
EACCESS exception should be handled gracefully, showing short and meaningful messages to the user without any technical experience.

See this example:

Notion won't open after running customiser.py - have followed advice on running cleaner.py and rebooting, and then re-running customiser.py - issue persists. Notion is not running (checked task manager)

expected behaviour
This issue should be resolved by following the FAQ guidance.

Unable to find Electron App

describe the bug
Followed installation instructions to install dependencies, download enhancer (locally cloned repo), ensured no processes are running, ran cleaner.py, then ran customiser.py.
After this, ran notion-app and got the following error message:

Error launching app

Notion Enhancer GUI

problem
With the growing number of options for Notion Enhancer, a GUI would be helpful
It would also allow for more types of options, and more features, like a theme creator

solution
I'm not sure if it'd be implemented as an ElectronJS window, or a Python GUI, but whatever works

alternatives (optional)
Add Notion Enhancer settings to Notions's Settings screen

Can't install Notion Enhancer

Highlight color of text too opaque

describe the bug
The color of the highlighted text is too opaque. Normal highlighting seems more transparent, and the difference is visible when comparing it with the highlighting of an entire block.

The highlight colors should not differ. Text highlights should be more transparent.

Change in-line code font color

Is it possible to add in this enhancer a way to change the in-line code font color?

The current in-line code font color is red, which is hard to read when using the dark theme. I've searched for a way to do so, but apparently, Notion doesn't have an option to change this.

It would be nice if we could change it through this enhancer, so that it would be more readable.

RTL bullets appear on the LEFT instead of on the RIGHT.

Sync Dark Mode With System Theme (And More?)

problem
I like using light mode during the day, and dark mode during the night. My system automatically changes for this. I wish Notion did too.

solution
My device automatically switches between light and dark mode at the relevant timing. In addition, there is a feature in web browsers nowadays that detects whether the system is on light or dark mode. This could be used for this purpose.

In addition, one can switch between modes with Ctrl+Shift+L. I'm not sure exactly how this feature is going to be implemented, but here's an idea:

Let's say the person has set their system to switch into dark mode at 9PM. It's 9PM, and the system dark mode has changed. The user is not using Notion at the time. However, the Python script will watch for when the user starts using the Notion window again. Once the user does, the Python script will emulate the click of Ctrl+Shift+L.

There's probably a better way to do this, though. Like, injecting a different CSS theme when system theme changes. Of course, there will be a warning before Notion restarts.

note
This feature suggestion is why I suggested a custom Settings GUI, because a feature like this can get too complex for a tray icon.

Table title bars still dark in light mode

Hey, this is u/thehuntresswillow from Reddit. Just submitting a bug report as requested. The title bars for all of my tables still have a dark background in light mode. (Windows 10) This occurred on my first run of Notion Enhancer, at that point I hadn't edited any of the CSS or anything.

Thanks in advance for your help. :)

Small text not working on fully-opened pages

describe the bug
The small text toggle does not make a visual difference, but only when the page is opened fully. If a page is opened from a database, it will work (until the Open as Page button is clicked)

expected behaviour
The small text toggle should decrease the font size.

platform
I'm on Windows, but other people have reported this, and I'm not sure what platforms they are on.

Customizer.py doesn't replace double backslash with single forward slash on Windows, causing WinError 5

describe the bug
[WinError 5] Access is denied: 'C:/Users/Torch/AppData/Local/Programs/Notion/resources/app\node_modules\cld\build\Release\cld.node'

expected behaviour
Looking at customiser.py, I think it was supposed to replace the double backslash with a single forward slash when it detected Windows. However, it seems to have not done that.

Hide "Hidden Columns" and "Add a group"

Hi, i tried to hide "add a group" and "hidden columns" for all the board views in Notion but my code doesn't work 😕

.notion-board-view>div:nth-child(1)>div:nth-child(4),
.notion-board-view>div:nth-child(1)>div:nth-child(1)>div:nth-child(3) {
        display: none !important;
}

.notion-board-view>div:nth-child(1)>div:nth-child(1)>div:nth-child(2){
    display: none !important;
}

Could you help me why this doesn't work?
Developer tools are displaying that selectors are correct but there is no change to any of attributes.

I know that you post solution in the styling.md but still I want to know what is wrong with that.

Make window close button red on hover (and use default cursor on window control buttons)

problem
The old Notion Customization had:

• a close button that turned red on hover
• window buttons that used the default cursor, instead of the pointer cursor, when the user hovers over the window control buttons, like other apps

solution
I implemented this in a few lines of CSS on my fork, and if you're ok with it, I can open a PR for this.

Text color format applied to blocks no longer affects the text within the block

describe the bug
After updating the notion enhancer, the coloring of text in pages that are part of databases (not stand-alone pages) was removed and set to white.

Edit: After several comments, it appears that the real bug is that text color applied to a block does not affect text, only bullets and toggle arrows. This issue does not affect highlighting or any color formatting applied to the text itself.

expected behaviour
Color should not be set to white after the update.

Edit: Applying text color to a block should change the color of text within the block.

screenshots
This is what it looks like (this is a template, it also affects templates):

This is what it looked like before:

White border line appears on second monitor when Notion window is maximized

Bug description
When I maximize the window of Notion with this enhancer, there is a white line on the leftmost side of my second monitor (which is positioned to the right of my main monitor). It seems that the program, when maximized, is one pixel wider than my main monitor, and therefore extends to my second monitor, showing a white line that is a pixel wide, and as tall as the height of my second monitor.

It may not seem like it's too distracting, but it would help make Notion with this enhancer look cleaner.

Expected behavior
The white line is not supposed to be seen.

Screenshots
You can see on the very right side of the following screenshot that there is a white line. My first monitor covers the very left side of the following screenshot, all the way until right before the white line. Anything to the right of the white line, including the white line is my second monitor (I didn't screenshot the whole area of my second monitor as it is not important).

Platform

module system

Split all features into an easily installable/extensible module system (e.g. theme-dark+, hotkey, remove-titlebar).

Is this possible? Perhaps.

Limitations: things are currently done by modifying a variety of files. Mixing modules that would need to be applied to multiple files would be very, very complex.

Likely solution: "core" set of modules that have been specially configured to apply to multiple places. Extensibility then done would only apply to preload.js for CSS + in-app JS, possibly as well as a JSON structure for adding options to the tray.

removing dependencies

At the moment, the enhancer is in Python but sends a system call to the electron asar package in order to extract app files.

a) remove Node.js as a dependency and use the pyasar pip package.
b) remove Python as a dependency and rewrite in Node.js.

I've attempted a), but the pyasar package has not been updated for 4 years and just throws errors when I try to use it.
A rewrite would be necessary for #6 anyway - so, I'm going with b) unless someone has a better solution.

Updating theme.css does not change appearance

Changing the theme.css file does not have any noticeable change in the appearance of the app. Changing user.css works just fine though.

I've tried making a variety of changes, none of which have any impact. This also includes reinstalling notion, using the cleaner.py file and using a fresh copy of notion-enhancer.

In particular I'm aiming to change the background colour, such as --theme-main etc. I've tried changing them to obvious colours such as rgb(0,255,0), which has no effect. The background colour remains unchanged even on a fresh copy of notion-enhancer, with only the theme-main changed to bright green.
This is on windows 10.

Wider content for wider page preview

problem
Since you already implemented a wider page preview, it would be great if the padding for content would be smaller as well, hence using the real estate more efficiently.

solution
Remove padding around the page content.

I know this isn't following the install instructions, but still not an ideal situation

I ran python customise.py prior to having asar install, so as expected, it failed. It also renamed my asar.app to asar.app.bak, leaving Notion unable to start
