Re: Dark Theme in Pro Tools 2020.11
I've talked about the changes I made to the dark mode text file. Here's a screengrab with the greenish title bars and the floating title bars are in a bluish color (I had originally changed it to a salmon pink color).

Re: Dark Theme in Pro Tools 2020.11
Gotta agree with all the Dark Mode naysayers. It's not unusable, but kinda feels like an 80's Halloween party.

Re: Dark Theme in Pro Tools 2020.11
I'm good with dark mode for the most part, but that's too funny...you nailed it with the 80's Halloween party! Exactly! Black lights and all!

Re: Dark Theme in Pro Tools 2020.11
I worked in dark mode all afternoon. While I can’t say I found any issues, or had any difficulty distinguishing components of the UI, the midi editor WAS easier to see.
Personally I don’t use dark mode on my phone, or anywhere else. I just PREFER the classic scheme. I think it’s good that we have a choice. I may revisit the dark side from time to time, but again, choices are good. I think it’s a good initial offering, myself.

Thank you very much! That got the top bar and the plugin menus black. Now the only thing that looks stupid is the Mix/Edit/Midi main window bar is still light blue. Also have the blue area in the plugin menus that was mentioned above. |

Re: Dark Theme in Pro Tools 2020.11
It’s taken a little bit of time to adjust. I did have to brighten my monitors a little, but after working awhile in it, I have to say I really like Dark Mode. For me, the biggest frustration with it is that the MIDI notes in the MIDI editor window are no longer as extreme in colors representing the various velocities as they used to be. But otherwise, I like it enough that I’ll stick with it. I do wish they wouldn’t have gone flat with the design, but it’s definitely not a deal breaker.

Re: Dark Theme in Pro Tools 2020.11
Wish I could have posted the screen grab in a bigger size then you'd really get to see how good it looks (to me) when tweaked.

I'm willing to bet not a lot of people pay attention to how their monitor brightness & contrast controls are set. After a few days with dark mode I find I have less eye strain at the end of the day than with 'classic' mode. |

Re: Dark Theme in Pro Tools 2020.11
I've given the dark mode a few chances and tried to like it but it's equally disappointing every time. It's beyond me how this "skin" can even be released as "dark mode". I'd accept it if was called "High Contrast Mode" or something like that. This just looks as weird as "inverted colors" on the iPhone. Screamingly ugly and very harsh on the eyes :)
