23.1 Dark Mode - Howto Tweak background-color?

[David_C_Rankin]

Ralf, Stefan, all,

I love the dark-mode, but I need to be able to tweak the background color. Reason: I find dark-mode much easier on my eyes, but the black (#000000) background-color creates a contrast with the text that is just a harsh as a black on white contrast.

I’ve done quite a bit of dark theme work and I’ve found a slight variation of brightness and saturation really help that problem. A background-color of #101419 or even as dark as #06090d softens the contrast enough to be much easier on the eyes.

Currently the dark-mode with default black background looks like:

Is there any place I can set the background-color for the dark theme globally to soften the contrast a bit?

Hi David.

Yes, the dark mode colors are not optimal. In several places… Especially the black in the area/background.

We will probably adjust the colors for the next major update.

Is there any place I can set the background-color for the dark theme globally to soften the contrast a bit?

In the UI: No
I don’t know the places in the code.
