Dear Sir/Madam,

I have a yet another feature request:

Can you please provide a "dark mode" (as an option in the general settings dialog box) which sets the window frame and caption to a dark / black color?

Rationale: If you put VAT-Spy on a secondary monitor, the dark colors are more comfortable for the eyes at night.

Thanks a lot.

Kind regards

Hi Jens,

I cannot say whether Ross Carlson, the developer of VATSpy, will actually implement a "dark mode" but you can replace the colours used in VATSpy to be easier on the eyes during night time.

A "collection" of some VATSpy themes including an instruction how to properly modify the colours you can find here:

Hope that helps!

Hi Christoph,

thanks a lot - I haven't known this. You made my evening a little bit happy. 🙂

So the remaining thing is the window frame and caption, maybe Ross Carlson has some time in future. Hopefully the solution is not too time-consuming for him.

Have nice evening.

Jens

@Ross Carlson Dear Mr. Carlson, could you implement a "dark mode" (e.g. as an option in the general settings dialog box) which sets the window frame and caption to a dark / black color? That would be great. Thanks a lot. Kind regards - Jens

Hi Jens, thanks for the suggestion. If I ever do a major update of VAT-Spy, a dark mode will definitely be included.
