Goldwell 2439 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Now that Windows has (finally) implemented a dark mode is it possible to integrate that into Dark Radiant? A lot of my mapping is usually done late at night and the bright white background of dark radiant is quite blinding, now that Windows has a dark mode it's even more noticeable. If it's not possible to integrate the windows version of this is it possible to theme or change the white areas of DR to be much darker? Here is a comparison shot between DR and the new dark mode explorer And here is my very quick paint mockup of what DR could look like 3 Quote Shadows of Northdale Campaign ACT I: A Curious Mind | ACT II: Down The Rabbit Hole Stand Alone Missions Snowed Inn | Accountant 1: Thieves and Heirs | Accountant 2: New In town | Spring Cleaning | Lord Edgar's Bathhouse Link to post Share on other sites

OrbWeaver 617 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 As far as I can see, the wxWidgets toolkit doesn't allow for much (if any) explicit control over theming, but just tries to emulate the native platform theme. So the question is, which version of wxWidgets is going to support the Windows dark theme. It seems the the latest release is introducing initial support the dark theme on macOS, but I don't see any mention of Windows. Maybe this is already supported in an older release (but still newer than the one DR is currently using), but it's also possible that they haven't addressed Windows at all yet.

Obsttorte 1498 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 I am using f.lux for quiet a while now, which may be of help until something changes in that regards (if it changes, of course). Although I have to admit that besides the practical reasons the dark look definetely has something to it. 1 Quote FM's: Builder Roads, Old Habits, Old Habits Rebuild WIP's: Several.

Although I have to admit that besides the practical reasons the dark look definetely has something to it. I definitely second this. I've been using f.lux for years now and it definitely helps reduce eyesores when on the computer at night. Quote FMs: A Good Neighbor Link to post Share on other sites
STiFU 728 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Windows 10 has f.lux sort of built in now. You can just enable its Nightmode and adjust color temperature etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NeonsStyle 572 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Late but has anything changed in this regard? As of this year, I've become quite photosensitive, and white screens viewed for a while tend to cause migraines. I'd love it if this was possible now. I already use the black image method, but would be great to get all the white windows into grey or dark mode. Quote I have an eclectic YouTube channel making videos on a variety of games.

greebo 34 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Nothing new to report. I did a quick google recently, but this didn't produce anything useful - from what I've read it's the Windows controls themselves that don't support a dark theme, it's only implemented in some of the modern apps like the calculator.

New Horizon 507 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Dark Radiant had the ability to change to dark colours in older builds, has that changed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LDAsh 52 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 www.violae.net/temp/DR208_Win7midnight.jpg It does jive pretty well with custom themes for Windows 7. From what I understand, the same is (almost) possible with Windows 10 with extra efforts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
