Couldn't FFS also just include its own dark theme, or even let us customize the element colours ourselves? The Soulseek-qt client is 32-bit and allows you to customize any colours you want, resulting in us being able to set our own dark mode ourselves. Just because FFS cannot use the Windows theme doesn ...

Being a donor already I made a couple of extra contributions specifically stating they are for dark mode.

All of this not even triggered a reaction by the product owner.

This is one of the last applications with an old-fashioned 'stare at the sun on my 4k monitor' interface. How is there no dark mode?!?

... FreeFileSync_13.8_Install.run i had freefilesync version 13.8 but not a dark version. But with freefilesync installed with "sudo apt install freefilesync", i had version 13.3 with dark mode
(I couldn't edit my previous post, so I created this one.)

I was able to get freefilesync with a dark version with wsl/ubuntu on windows.
It's not like freefilesync was natively in dark, but you could have freefilesync in a windows window and with a dark theme.

Long-time donator! First time caller. +1 more for dark mode. :)

I'll echo what Steve said back in April and other users have mentioned before then: this is an accessibility concern. I appreciate the deep work done on FreeFileSync to make it the best-in-class program it is and that you won't compromise ...

"Dark Mode"? Dark mode of what? What do you mean? You haven't said anything about what you are referring to.

He posted on the FreeFileSync forum asking for a Dark Mode. Therefore, he was asking for a Dark Mode of FreeFileSync. What else could he possibly have been talking about?

... I haven't found better alternative. I just wanted to say that gui and dark mode aren't secondary features. And you are right, I of course don't know how much the software is relying on specific platform ui elements, but I would guess lot of it can also be made platform agnostic.
And btw I have the ...

... all. The software is highly functional and one update solely focused on modernizing the gui would no doubt help with usability and dark theme could be easier to implement.
Love throwing this under "low priority" while talking about the f* literal interfacing between user and the software.

Hi,

In the 13.7 version, I get only the dark mode and prefer the lighter mode.
I am unsure if it is a problem with my desktop setup, but all the other apps, such as Dolphin (KDE) and Thunderbird (Gtk) don't have this issue. I looked in the Gyk3Styles.css and in the options of the app to find a way to ...

There needs to be some compromise when targeting all platforms. On Windows, the GUI looks best on Windows 10/11, which is run by the majority of users. Ideally this should be solved by supporting color themes. The main reason for themes would be dark-mode however.

In general, FFS is using system colors everywhere. The only reason why "Dark Mode" support for FFS on Windows 10 is not available right now is that Microsoft has decided to limit its support to Windows Store apps, while leaving Win32 apps out in the dark.

Another [possibly] straight-forward ...

Of course, one possible solution is [for the author] to simply choose a dark color scheme and implement it manually, with no reference to Windows or to ... BazzaCuda/CustomMenu). Of course, the app is then permanently in Dark Mode, which I was happy with for my own software but the author of FFS may be ...

*bump* two more FFS updates have been released since I last checked on dark mode status. Dark Mode is not yet included in FFS. Yet it is one of the most requested, commented and viewed features in the forum.

Particularly read Zenju's (the author of FFS) replies on why it is (at least presently) near impossible.

... stare at screens 12+ hours a day for huge operations and productions. A dark mode for Free File Sync would be a game changer. When we have to open it even with night settings turned on it blinds us. Lets get a FFS dark mode! Thank you for making such incredible software.

... software while looking on https://alternativeto.net/software/rsync/

The dark mode is a system theme, so it probably needs a full chain developer to understand how to remedy it properly, and is quite likely on upstream bug/limitation. Oh, well, I guess this whole thread can be safely deleted with no ...
