Dark Theme doesn't properly theme the UI

[solaris]

Even on Dark Theme mode, the background for Workspace Explorer, Workspaces, Repositories, etc, are still white.  Any way to fix this?

Hey @solaris,

 

Not really so far. I mean, we didn't give that high prio to dark theme, but obviously we should.

 

@danipen what you think of this? Could we fix it?

[danipen]

Yes, 

We have in mind to improve the dark themes. All backgrounds should be dark.

This implies refactoring colors and redoing all the light and dark themes. Not a short task, since plastic is a wide application with lots of screens and dialogs, but doable.

Hello,

Any update on this issue?

[danipen]

We're starting the development of the next GUI (called GUI 9 internally) in the next weeks. We expect having time to refactor the dark theme and implement a proper one.

Really looking forward to a true dark theme. Just switched today and was disappointed by the main areas of interest still being bright.

Ok July 2021 now, where is the Dark Mode?
In the Plasitc SCM UI, I went to preferences -> Theme and selected: Montana Dark
This is not a dark theme, background is near white and glaring. Not cool :(
Please show that you care for your users and PRIORITIZE THIS.

Hi,

We are working a new multiplatform GUI. It should ease the development of a modern dark theme taht works both for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Hopefully we have good new soon. I'm sharing your request with the product team.

Regards,

Carlos.

Can we have an ETA on this feature?

I know it may seem like a detail but this is not just an aesthetic choice. Every other tools around cinema and video games are using a dark theme because it goes with the territory.

A white interface like plastic may not be noticeable to you but for many of us it's like driving at night with a satnav that doesn't have a night theme.

Hi Marc,

In the next 1-3 months we should be releasing the first version of our new multiplatform GUI and it should also include the dark theme.

Sorry for the inconveneinces again,

Carlos.

My team is also looking forward to a dark theme overhaul. We've really gotten used to Unity in dark theme and virtually all other applications as well (GitKraken, Photoshop, Blender) and the old Plastic dark themes really felt out of place or only partially implemented for that matter.

Hi @Xarbrough, what is your operating system? We are already distributing easly versions of the new GUI to some of our customers.

Regards,

Carlos.

My team is working mostly on Windows 10. Two of my colleagues and I would be happy to try out the dark theme and give some feedback, report issues, if any.
