Open the Applications folder on your Mac. You next right click on the PT program icon in the Applications folder and select 'show package contents'. Open the 'contents' folder. Next open the 'resources' folder. Next open the 'skins' folder. You should see a folder named 'dark'. Right click on that folder and do a 'get info'. Change the permissions of system and admin to 'read & write'. Close that window. Then open the 'dark' folder. To keep the existing dark mode file drag it to your desktop and save it to a good place. Then drag in the dark mode file you created in text edit. Should be good to go after a reboot. Do all this with PT closed. |

musicman691 that's great news about your sister!! I am finally finishing up some projects and thinking about doing this mod. I've been using dark mode for a while and find it mostly ok, with the big exception of the Groups pane and the [lack of] difference between groups suspended or not. That said, I'm sure I'll like your mods even better. A couple questions. Inside the path you specified: Pro Tools.app>Contents>Resources>Skins>Dark there is no "dark mode.txt" file, only a PTColors.txt file, as well as a couple of other files with .idb extensions. Second, TextEdit on my system (10.14.6) only lets me save as .rtf, not .txt. Can I just change the extension to .txt in finder? Thanks!!

It is indeed great news to hear about Marie (sis). She's had way too many surgeries in her 63 years on this third rock from the sun and I am glad she was able to catch a break. If you want drop me an email using [email protected] with a regular email address and I'll send you the file I'm currently working with. It might be easier than trying to piece together the two forum posts. |

Amen! Continuing to pray for her quick recovery from the surgery.

Re: Dark Theme in Pro Tools 2020.11
I really like pro tools, but I don't like the dark mode as it affects my eyes directly. I turned off instantly.

Re: Dark Theme in Pro Tools 2020.11
Are you on Mac or Windows? If Mac grab the modified dark mode file I posted in this thread. If Windows - no help there. I don't know that anyone here has done a modified file for Windows users.

Re: Dark Theme in Pro Tools 2020.11
Let us know how it goes. There are a couple of different modifications being used by people here and elsewhere, each employing varying color options. I've settled into a custom dark mode that handles (almost) every issue I had with the default dark mode, and there were plenty of problems.

Re: Dark Theme in Pro Tools 2020.11
FWIW I tried the latest edit to Dark Mode, which I really like BTW, but it messes up my Slate Raven setup. Just so you know. I have no idea why that would be... Oh well, the regular DM is still better than Classic IMNSHO.
