Dark mode
Since Avid is working on making the coming 2018.10 compatible with Mojave, do you guys think we will get a dark mode option? I know on Windows it is in much need of a GUI update with its hideous Vista-colour framing all the UI elements.
It makes so much sense having dark mode compatibility for e.g post work where you spend a lot of time in darkened settings. It will eventually also cause less eye bleeding given that OS developers are finally embracing system wide dark mode.

Re: Dark mode
If I am running Reaper, it's in the Near Dark theme all the time now. Much more pleasant to use like that.

I just lower the contrast lighting on my iMac screen with F2. It is soothing enough. Dark or black without lowering text also is more painful to me. Or is that what what you mean by Dark Mode? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Dark mode
I have to admit that I enjoy having dark mode on most of my phone apps and lately on some pages and desktop programs. Would be great to have that too in Pro Tools.

Re: Dark mode
Be careful what you wish for. Dark Logic Pro was pretty bad...

OS Mojave (and W10, but they bungled it) now offers system wide Dark Mode where the interface; menus, finder, text etc. is drawn using hues of gray or close to black. They did a really good job and per usual they have made a lot of new apis and guidelines available so developers can use it to give their apps dark mode support. In the future more apps will be aware of what "mode" the OS is in and make sure to apply a "dark mode" option (if it's supported and user checks it) so you won't be met with bright flashing UI and stark colours when switching/using an app. Applications that don't support it will eventually stick out a lot on a dark mode system and make them less optically ergonimic whenever your eyes have to adapt back and forth. Pro Tools is not the worst offender and it offers different colour customizations of e.g. tracks, but the overall body of colours and text are noticably bright, contrasty or white especially on windows.

Just dark mode makes as much sense as just having the status quo, because it will cause significant friction depending on your setting.

Re: Dark mode
Please no, Pro tools has the best GUI of any daw in the world, period.
Almost every other DAW has been destroyed by these debilitating, overly busy dark on dark GUI's. S1 was ruined in V3, Logic in X, Cubase in 9.. so sick of it. If avid listens to this and does something like it, WITHOUT it being optional, i'll freak. This is what concerns me and why I always fight against it, cause there is no guarantee they'd leave the current GUI for people that love it as is.
