Hi! Are you expecting to put a dark mode option for fusion 360? The ligh color from the UI hurts my eyes and make to much notority from screen!
Solved! Go to Solution.
How is it possible, for a paid application, in 2021 to not support Dark Mode? An engineering tool that I stare at for 8hrs a day!
Fusion 360 is far from a complete CAD package. Basic Drawing functions that other cad packages have are on the roadmap. Fusion not having themes yet is no suprise.
Wear sunglasses?
Having a dark mode is far from requesting a theme. We are not asking for freakish color scheme options, just a way to lessen the brightness that enters our eyes and makes us tired after spending hours designing. A theme is something a teenager wants in order to look cool, a dark mode is a practical and proven "mode" that provides a health benefit in more than one way and regardless of this software not being a complete CAD software, that comment is totally irrelevant! Why did you bother to even make this comment? I would also comment saying that those of us that use Fusion360 are not looking for full blown CAD software and your semantics are irrelevant to this thread! Please go fanboy on the AutoCAD forum!
@keqingsong @yirang.choe Tagging Fusion product development team members since it's time this neglected thread was brought to your attention. Hi guys, please take a look at the number of people asking for a Dark Mode in Fusion, including me. This thread has been going on for half a decade now and it would be great if we could get some info on if and when this feature will be implemented and if you guys are even working on it. Many other products have that offering, including Inventor now and we would love to see a similar functionality in our beloved Fusion 360 that we use daily for hours and depend on in so many ways.
If the users reading this agree with me, please like this comment so it can gain more visibility with the developers!
Hi Anant, thanks for bringing this to my attention. I can definitely see the value of having Dark Mode, and this is also on our radar. Implementing the Dark Mode will be a huge project itself hence it's hard to give you a specific timeframe when we will be able to offer this new feature in Fusion (at least not that I'm aware of). This may not be the answer you were looking for, but it is the best response I can provide at the moment.
One good news is that we now have a dedicated team working on visual design, and the Dark Mode is on their backlog.
I'm hoping to be able to give more information once we have a more specific plan in place.
Thanks all!

Thanks Yirang, for your reply. It is comforting to know you all are at least looking into this and I dont think any of us think this is something easy to do. We all do appreciate your efforts on this and I think at least everyone here would be there to do testing for you should you get to an alpha or beta stage. Thanks again for letting us know you are looking into this!
I've decided to let my Fusion 360 subscription expire. I'll check back from time to time to see if this "Dark Mode" feature or lack there of has improved. Good Luck All! If I hear about a fix or alternative, I'll let you know.
Seriously? And you know this as a matter of fact how? Unless you are or was an Autodesk programmer to make this claim is ignorant at best and NO its not a simple matter of changing a Boolean, which tells me you have zero clue about programing, let alone what it will take to make a dark mode for this software!
Talk about clueless what OpenGL or Vulkan is! NO, the software was NOT coded in either of those, nor is it even possible! It was created in C++, developed in Visual Studio on Windows and XCode on Mac! OpenGL and Vulkan are in fact cross-platform application programing interface for rendering the graphics! Neither of which was used to build the actual software OR the UI that it uses! Might I suggest it is YOUR little mind that cant understand what we are even talking about!
Everyone just chill out, it doesn't matter who is right. In the end, it's going to take as long as AD says it's going to take, whatever the reason. All we can do is to try and get them to pay attention to the feature request.
Agreed, just get sick of all these know it all's that know nothing injecting their ignorance on something they are clueless about! Regardless you are right and all we can do is wait! I suggest anyone who wants to piss and moan about it and think they are as smart as Mike, please code us a program with the features we are asking for and if its good I am sure you will be well compensated for it!
Perhaps all the overly vocal Fusion 360 noobs in this thread can exercise some restraint. As has already been mentioned Dark Mode is already being considered without having a timeline for implementation.
There are vastly more important features I have on my wish list to be implemented. Given that most of you have yet to contribute anything of any value to this Forum community, I suggest you take a back set and stand in line!
