Dark mode

Post by denzle83 »

I'm not too sure if it has already been requested but a dark mode would be amazing.

Cheers

Ha I did see an image recently of a dark mode being used for CC on a mac aswell. Oh how Linux and mac users eyes must be thanking them for their choice of OS.

Sadly this is not supported by Qt 5 on Windows...

I've tried with a few custom color palettes as suggested on the web, but the result is quite ugly.

No worries. I can't complain with CC being such a great and useful software.

There is a partial support for Windows. You can choose the 'QDarkStyleSheet::Dark' as the 'Application style' parameter of the Display settings.
