Dark mode/theme

Post by sremick »

Hello. I was wondering if you could consider adding a dark mode/theme to HDS. I have Windows set to dark mode and I set my apps to a dark theme whenever possible. These days most of my apps provide this option... it'd be great if HDS did as well. Thank you!

Yes, it is already planned so probably will be available in a future version ;)

Good to hear that Dark Mode is planned. Any timeline on when we might see it?

It's forgotten, I have an OLED screen which benefits from dark mode. Opening HDS is like a flashbang if your eyes is used to dark themes

Working on it for many-many-many years.
There were lots of issues with the dark-mode theme engine and most of them could be fixed - but not all yet.
So constantly working on it and hopefully there will be a version with dark-theme.

Using standard (aka "classic") Windows themes works quite well - mostly. However the panels listing individual drives and partitions (and the graph background) remain the same shade of grey (see screenshots) so having these use standard system colours (or just a slightly lighter shade of the current menu colour) should work well as an alternative.
