Dark Theme for Slade

Amuscaria · Post by **Amuscaria** » Thu Jan 27, 2022 1:48 am

Does Slade have a dark theme? I set Windows 10 theme to dark, which works for most programs, but Slade stays the bright-theme default. Not sure if its using it's own graphics or not, but would like to know if dark theme was possible or not in Slade.

Go to "Edit", then "Preferences..." to gain access to the SLADE Settings.

Hope it can help.

It works automatically just fine on linux here, at least in the beta version, I haven't tried another version.

On Windows, the main interface uses the Windows theme -- you can change the text editor's color scheme but that's all. For the res of the interface you need to change your Windows colors.

The thing about Windows 10's "themes" are that they only ever apply to the explorer and none of the common window shell APIs so they'll all think it's still a bright white theme irregardless and the only color the end user is allowed to change is for one accent color. Apps are expected to be 'modern' and have...explicitly defined dark themes premade, and doing that could mean more gui toolkit bloat that must be done to repaint the entire window, maybe along with the forcing of all fonts to Segoe.

yep it's terrible and no one's fixed it. All the big end-all Win10 fixing focus is just the start menu

Oh mine must be really outdated. It doesn't have any of that... Thanks, I'll need to update.
