Default Dark Theme

I don't know if it is discussed earlier but this is the only forum I know which has no alternative theme.
What about a dark theme?
Is it possible?
It still looks the same like I started here: 1999!

OK, analoge devices, tape and vinyl is coming back, maybe this only forum theme is on a good way...

The DUC is perfect as it is now. While there are other online places I love a dark theme (like Twitter/X and Gab and Truth Social) and in PT (my customized one) I like the way the DUC looks. Sure it looks old but it functions quite well as is.

I can't tell if musicman was /s

But...
this forum is run on a framework (possibly open source?) and so it will require that source to have the ability before it is possible to enable

Exactly. Gearspace (used to be Gearslutz) has no dark mode. Nor does the VSL forum. Several social media sites have dark modem but that's it. VI Control is dark mode only. For a forum I like the DUC as is.

Hey I just realized I have not had or used your GUI theme for a few versions now. Are you making them even for say PT 2024.10.1 (the one I am currently running). Here is what my current Dark GUI looks like What might be different with your's ? Are you still doing "Inactive" in red ?

I was wondering if someone was going to ask that exact question. The answer is no as I'm still on PT2021.6 I don't know what the file currently in use in newer versions of PT even looks like so I can't tell if my mods would work or not. Could you email me the file and I'll take a look. Not promising anything. My email if you need it is [email protected]

Just to note since PT 2023.12 you can now color code -Input, Output, Bus, and Insert paths, as you can see in my template

That is huge. I wonder if it color codes automatically or you change as you want? This would make it easier to follow paths. And certainly easier than using track folders (I found them to be more trouble than they're worth.
