Feature Request: Dark Backgrounds

#1 Post by RGiuffre » 2019-06-01 00:22

Hello All:
I was wondering if it is possible to change the background color of white to something darker?
I use FileZilla a lot, and the stark white background is hard on my eyes, especially late in the evening.
I checked all of the options and settings, but the themes just seem to change the icons.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
A long-time user.

FileZilla follows the system Desktop theme.

In Linux, it's usually not hard, just set a dark theme and FileZilla will also be in dark colors. Mac - no idea.

Windows doesn't have any system-wide dark theme for Win32 programs (Win10 has just one for UWP apps and one that only works for Explorer). Custom dark themes from the Internet might require patching of system files.
