Dark theme
Dark theme
The fact that we can customise colours of so many GUI components is all well and good, but I wish there was a dark theme to the app that I could switch to in a couple of clicks. It's getting darker sooner, so working with that bright white background is a bit of a strain on the eyes. I'm sure insomniacs will appreciate it too

It has, which is what Configuration > Colors (sic) is for. What I am referring to is not Windows OS theme, it's more to be able to change GUI colours to effectively transform into a "night" mode in a couple of clicks.Filehero wrote:Maybe all gui stuff belonging to Don could have customizable colors some day.

Re: Dark theme
for some reason script doesn't work though i'm much interested in Night mode, since i found it very useful in my web browser.
can someone please improve/fix it? btw, is there no other way than edititng .ini?. kinda dangerous.. are there no commands to set colours just like manually?

Re: Dark theme
binocular222, thanks you! i started to look for it as i use Maxthon too.)
add: a little sidenote/request= is there a place where to find which line saved with your script correponds to what? or maybe you can add comments for ex to Dark Theme, 'cause colours values could be undestood, but settings(like TPT) is impossimble../

Re: Dark theme
Care to share your dark theme with us somewhere binocular222?
Re: Dark theme
Those of you running the latest versions of Office will find that MS included a new dark theme. That is how I wish XYplorer could look.

In this day and age when even Apple cares that we are not exposed to bright light unnecessarily with their devices, having a dark theme definitely has more pros than cons.

I feel so vindicated...shame it takes Apple coming out with a dark mode for macOS to kick things into gear
