Dark mode

[Anonymous]

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!

The elapsed time since this thread started equals 2,535 days or 6 years, 11 months, and 10 days, I won't quibble about the hours and minutes at this point. We've heard about the health concerns and the work arounds for this lack of features, so kudos to all those who tried to inform the masses 🙂

I won't mention the debates regarding a need for such a feature., both for and against., lol. Fusion 360 used to be a free app and now cost., well, last I checked about $400 annually, I actually paid the first year when they began charging for this. It's obvious AutoDesk does not care about this concern nor this product nor the AutoDesk (Now Paying) customers who use it. Their Flagship Products are sucking up all the resources that they're able/willing to pry away from the stockholder dividends. I've been receiving updates/notices whenever this thread is posted to, and I must say enough is enough. I'm done with this dead horse and with AutoDesk so please AutoDesk, send me another survey to take and I'll be very up front and honest then I'll be done with that too. To many other CAD Programs that already meet the minimum requirements to listen to this anymore. Thanks, but No Thanks.

Interim: "in or for the intervening period; provisional or temporary"

That word you keep using. I do not think it means what you think it means.

It implies an end involving Fusion getting a dark theme. I'm afraid the only end is going to be biting the bullet switching to another product. I've been trying OnShape and it works pretty well with DarkReader, but there are some hiccups, so I'm considering other options, as well. But I don't think waiting on Autodesk is my best course of action. They do not give a crap about my eyes.

Onshape have part and assembly configurations? Weldments? Those are among
my top 10 list for not moving to fusion. I use it in my own business, but I
do simple assemblies and machining. I would never be able to get things
done efficiently in Fusion in my day job. It's just a good 10-15 years
behind in feature set and functionality relative to SW. I don't see why
they can't assign someone to the task of implementing dark mode
immediately, but I also think people who can't live without it are the tiny
minority. Personally, I don't care. Dark mode makes me depressed. 😂

Hi, can you please add a dark mode UI option to Fusion360? It's preventing me from committing to it as a daily product, my eyes get sore after just half a dozen hours of use at a time with Fusion360.

+1 I normally use Onshape, but unfortunatelly I am sometimes forced to use F360 and I'm getting blind from its whiteness.

[EstebanNM]

I can't believe me and my partner just payed for 2 F360 licenses and it doesn't have a true dark mode. My partner will be up in flames tomorrow when I tell him the only way to keep our eyes from burning up is changing the environment and thus the objects look.

You are selling this as a top-notch product, but even bug-filled FreeCAD has a dark theme.

[prosto_lyubo]

Well, that's the problem with properitary software. We are on the grace of one product owners whim and until they decide (if ever) that dark mode is a money making feature we will never see it.

7 years of begging...
this is how Autodesk treats its customers. most wanted feature and they just ignore it. I wish new competitors bankrupt you so hard and fast.

Just wanted to bump the thread. I haven't commented here yet. But I was waiting for it for years. Decided to check if there are news. Seems like there is not much yet. It's ok. We will wait.

I already put myself in their shoes, and I don't know if, mainly because they were softer an expensive than mine, I already pardoned them; I mean, that's life, remember? We have to be forgiving, live in peace in harmony with that glaring shot of photons, and maybe get over it and repeat ourselves; I love this burning feeling, so, perhaps we can learn to endure our painful existence over this world and remember that, it could be worse, so appreciate as it is, and also there is a saying like if you get blind, you develop another skill, maybe music is my thing, perhaps I create some meaningful insight, everything has a reason, and I already forgive Autodesk I love them. All you need is love. The only thing we can only fix is ourselves; if someone gets a job in Autodesk of us that share this community now, don't forget. There must always be an ignored message that you can fix so thousands of eyes will say aaaaghhhhh......... in a global shared relief. Meanwhile, let's try the light white side of the Fusion 360; maybe it is true blondes have more fun. 

[soswow]

100% this, mate! I agree with everything you said. I guess there can be a middle ground. We can continue apply pressure, which is a pretty normal democratic mechanism in these situations, but we can do it without anger and feeling of entitlement or disappointment (which was a bit in my own message, will change).

[blind.maker]

For what it's worth, I could not wait any longer. My eye condition has continued to degrade to the point that I just can't use it any more. I switched to OnShape. It doesn't have a dark mode, per se, but works amazingly well with the Dark Reader browser plugin. And it has all of the features I need for what I use CAD for. And really only needed a small learning curve to transition (still learning keyboard shortcuts, though).

I really liked Fusion 360. Unfortunately, Autodesk didn't return the sentiment in the way that I'd hoped. I waited and waited with promises of a new, themeable front-end architecture for Fusion 360; always just around the corner, much like fusion power. While OnShape grass may not be greener, it is, nonetheless, still green. A very blessedly dark green.

EDIT: Oops! Sorry for the spam on this. I'd completely forgotten I'd already pretty much made this point in March. Though I suppose the fact that I've forgotten what I have and haven't said in this thread over the years kinda reinforces the point.

dark theme is not for good look , its for health care! please make it , at least dark grey

Is it hard to do?

[jbermingham]

Bump. This **** is ridiculous. I will not renew my license if they dont add dark mode. 

Do devs actually check the forums?

[cib_pro]

You can switch inversion filter in windows settings.

white will be changed to black

[dylan__rogers]

+1 dark mode... maybe even do it to this forum aswell 😛
