Dark theme

[zer0]

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

Maybe all gui stuff belonging to Don could have customizable colors some day.

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.

I made this script to toggle between Light Mode vas Night mode.
Changes are made to XYplorer.ini, thus permanent, so, Backup your XYplorer.ini before using this script!

Code: Select all

 If(getkey("ClrBack", "ListBrowse") == 0){         //If current mode is Night Mode → Switch to Light Mode
 setkey 13092807, ClrBackTree, Settings;

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?

[binocular222]

Night Mode is revised here: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 08#p100942

btw, SkyFrontier's XYstylEZ is also a good way

[eil]

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../

Care to share your dark theme with us somewhere binocular222?

[Megalith]

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.

For reference, this is how that is:

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.

[zer0]

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

[acicovic]

So, anyone know if this is still being worked on?

Thanks!
