Dark Theme - a no go!!
I'm testing a actual trial version from Protools!
Oh my god, after starting the program, this cheapy darkmode design like the new avid media composer or adobe audition, i can use this longer then 5 minutes to become see mistakes!!! Is there a posibility to switch this very bad fontend to the normal "old" look, i found nothing??? If not, this will be the badest protools look ever and a hit in the face to all protools user that use this software in the last dekades!!! Please change this or add a posibilty to switch the desgin, please!! I can buy and work with something like that. |

Dark mode is a work in progress. If you have any further constructive thoughts, please feel free to express them.

Re: Actual Design - a no go!!
Whereas I agree with the opinion that "dark mode" looks a LOT like Adobe Audition, it doesn't stop you from working. And as you discovered, you can always revert to Classic Mode.

Re: Actual Design - a no go!!
Yes this Audition like "darkmode" is useless, this has no usability!
If Classic Mode always available in the future,will be fine and decisive for purchase. If i have a wish, try to include the old Protools 6 - 8 Silver Design too for switching, this was optical the best Protools! :) |

Re: Dark Theme - a no go!!
My focus is on a good usability and to work with a good design that supported my workflow+ideas with optimal clarity.
I had this with older protools on optimum, from protools 9 design it was ok too, but more confusing, but the "darkmode" is very bad for all, i hate this high contrast pseudo design an many software, this is not a good work. I prefer to use my old Cool Edit 2.0 like for endmastering and sample editing, as newer oversize Audition, because the bad usability and design brakes in the implementation my ideas and a good workflow. |

Re: Dark Theme - a no go!!
The dark mode should have been made an option for those that want it and the classic mode left as the default for long-time users that like it. Avid chose to do it the other way around with dark mode as the default and classic mode as the optional choice. The good thing is that we can choose which ever mode we like. There is no need to criticize the OP for his opinion on dark mode. It was just his initial impression of this feature and he didn't like it (as many others have also). He never implied that this was all that he focused on.
