"Dark" theme improvements in 2021.3
Any thoughts on the "dark" mode improvements? I've not downloaded yet so can't comment.

Re: "Dark" mode improvements
I don't like the dark mode at all ... improved or not ... better create something different and dark for a change ...

Re: "Dark" mode improvements
Avid half-arsed it. They fixed some things based on the modified files posted in the longggg thread and left others alone (and made what was good before worse). I've had to make mods to the file that's with 2021.3 to make it a bit more usable and that ain't easy considering the way Avid has multiple lines to make something what it is versus a single line in the previous file.
It is a bit more usable than the original dark mode but not by much and not that I'd use it for more than 2 minutes. Look at post 480 in this thread: https://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=412759&page=48 where Kev posted screenshots of the modded file I sent him. If you like that and want to give it a shot email me with a regular email address and I'll send it to you. Because the new file is longer than the old it would take three long posts to post it here. |

Re: "Dark" mode improvements
I saved the settings I'd been working on since dark mode entered our worlds, in case I needed to revert back to them, but so far Avid's latest hasn't tripped me up at all. I quite like just nearly everything about it. I say bravo to them for getting it figured out the 2nd time around.

Re: "Dark" mode improvements
I keep trying it and keep going back to classic mode. Some of my problem is likely the 43" LED TV I am using so I have ordered a pair of 32" computer monitors(still don't know why TV's look so bad as PT monitors). Once those arrive, I'll try dark mode yet again. One curious note; the other day I was on a ZOOM meeting where an Avid tech was showing some of the new features, and his shared screen looked better on my 43" TV than my own PT screen I also may need to change graphics cards if the new screens don't help

Re: "Dark" mode improvements
Same here. Classic mode is still fairly dark compared to how it used to be pre-version 8

I did not try what Jack had come up with so nothing else to compare it to except the previous version. C
