Dark Mode on macOS Mojave

citenote · September 26, 2018

Do you have plans to support the new dark mode in macOS Mojave?

I'm sure Zotero would look great with a dark theme and it would be even nicer to the eye when working in the evening. Would also better integrate to the UI experience when other programs and the OS is in dark mode.
Thanks,
best,
Fabian

Just tossing in my two cents: this would be great.

I agree, this would be welcomed.

A dark mode for Windows 10 would be great too! I think Zotero is the only program I use on a regular basis that doesn't offer a dark mode.

Having the possibility to go Dark with be great. I understand there are other priorities in the dev team, however...

^ what they said

Agree. Although it was previously discussed before the release of macOS Mojave, nothing is going to work perfectly for changing the theme. By the way, it would be very great to have that.

Dark mode please!

dstillman · October 30, 2018

We understand the demand here and will likely offer a dark theme and support Dark Mode on macOS, but realistically it probably won't happen this year.

@AveryA: It looks like someone responded to you in another thread. You can follow up there if you have other questions about modifying the theme yourself.

It seems that the method mentioned above (in another thread) is useful for the Windows. Is that the case? Please let me know.

It will work equally well for Mac, Windows, or Linux

Dark mode works on Linux running the Gnome 3 desktop (eg Debian 'Buster'). Dark comes from the system settings. Zotero looks OK.

Using this method for Mac, it does not work. I found someone had the same problem and posted this picture. https://imgur.com/a/ppngS74

Thanks for the update, @dstillman. Another vote for this feature :).

jrmcbride · February 26, 2019

Yes, same!

jasonlustig · February 27, 2019

+1 -- I would also love this feature!

Zinkren · March 4, 2019

Me too! Dark mode is the best, I just find it much easier to read white text on a black background.

hemanth92 · March 15, 2019

+1, this feature would be great!

rcirer · March 15, 2019

+1 Here, it would be awsome

There's a dev response higher up in the thread. No need for +1s, they just make the forum harder to read.

dstillman · April 22, 2019

Closing this thread for now. There are technical limitations that prevent us from supporting Dark Mode now, but we're well aware of the demand and will work to support it as soon as possible. We'll post here and on Twitter when Dark Mode support is available. You can subscribe to this thread for updates.
