This post is in reference to a post made by Rafmongelos on 04-06-2016 06:30 AM, it has 118,997 views, and 142 replies.

 

This issue was marked as solved before it was ever truly solved. That threads stats don't lie. Now whether you feel fusion needs this feature or not is irrelevant, since you can simply not use it if it is implemented. However, for those of us who are requesting it, (There is plenty of us to justify it, go read the thread I'm linking below) it is imperative to our work flow for a multitude of reasons that are clearly explained in the other thread.

 

I've been subscribed to notifications of that other thread and get replies of paying users begging for this to be implemented more and more often. Yet there has been crickets from the Fusion360 team. So, in an attempt to get this issue back on the radar, I am creating, yet again another dark theme request thread.

 

Just about every single program, app, phone UI in existence in 2023 has this as a built in feature. There is a reason that this is considered the norm for modern intuitive software, whether you personally agree with it or not. Those are the facts. Our auto renewal of our business account got us this year, but we've already moved on to using another cad and cam suite that has this feature. Since I've already suffered paying the bill for this year, I'm going to stomp feet and be super Karen about this issue.

 

If you are interested in reading the other thread, feel free to check out one referenced in this post at the following link:

Fusion360 team, please do something about this that is aligned with what your user base truly wants.

Bump. Seriously. This is SO LONG overdue and is one of the easiest wins in software development. Just add a dark mode already. I'm sick of using my hacked version that uses CSS to change small portions of the UI to dark mode. I can't update the entire UI though, so I'm still forced into a non-dark mode. I'm literally contemplating completely relearning other software for the sole purpose of being able to use a dark mode.

 

Using Fusion 360 kills my eyes. This is a physical need for me. I will absolutely not be starting any new projects into Fusion 360. I will also not come back until there is a dark mode implemented. That is assuming I don't get comfortable in whatever software I will be going to.

 

FIX THIS ALREADY! This is absolutely insane, lazy, and GARBAGE UX/UI Design in 2023. (It was considered lazy and garbage as far back as 2016) Hell. I will do it 100% pro-bono FOR you. Send me a Github link and give me permissions. I won't ask for a dime!
