I've had enough of the white bar on top. I don't think it is difficult to introduce dark mode. It is really not difficult. It's already in 2021, isn't it? Every time I face the pale screen, my eyes are roaring~~


This is what it  should be look like

This is what it looks like now。

Autodesk said they are working on a dark theme in 2018. Funny thing how im making a partial dark theme in a few days, where autodesk has been working on a dark theme for almost 3 years

Thanks for doing this.

With my age and eyesight a Dark Mode is an essential.

I'm publishing updates of the gist with more styled parts and bugfixes whenever i finish them, i just styled the job status dialog and the message box, and I already have the locations of the stylesheets for the comments UI and the animation storyboard

Searching through the forums, looks like the devs have been ignoring a dark theme since 2016.  Not holding my breath.

I cannot believe the neglect this topic has gotten over the years. It makes my blood boil that we pay annually for updates and improvements, yet for something incredibly simple to add (and highly requested), just be completely put on the backburner indefinitely.

It's 2022, I can't believe dark theme is still not here. I'm here because I wanted to use EAGLE CAD, a printed circuit board program that autodesk devoured several years ago and decided that it's better off offering this program as a part of fusion 360. I can't keep my thoughts straight with the glaring white super wide tools and boarders around the dark work area is really annoying. I can take that from a 2014 EAGLE because I can't change it and its boarders are much thinner. This fusion 360 has twice the boarder width that also comes with large stupefied white icons. Instead of offering a perpetual license now it charges subscription fees. I have no use for 2D or 3D cads because it's just not who I am. I design circuit boards that are not super fancy that their 3D images must be rendered so accurately to impress my boss before a prototype is even built! Anyway. Old Cadsoft EAGLE can easily use dark theme, kind of, for over a decade I've been using EAGLE. Autocad took away a lot from EAGLE and turned it into a part of the fusion 360 post-consumerism poster boy. Subscribe! Subscribe to 1 million things you don't need because we can! Everything is by subscription only!

 

Cadsoft EAGLE Ver 2014 vs Autocad Fusino 360 EAGLE 2022. Different designs but see the sizes of the white boarders and the icons!

Please Autodesk, implement darkmode in Fusion 360

Even Windows managed to implement nativ darkmode.

Especially in dark environment it´s very stressfull to work with this blinding screen.

What a STONEAGE product this has become! Cannot handle 4K displays, display scaling, and has no options for increasing icon-size. Not even dark-mode implementation!...

 

If display-scaling in windows is turned on, mouse cursor does not track correctly in left-menu and screen gets blurry.  Only thing that works is to reduce the diplay resolution all-together...

 

Fusion 360 is the only CAD i know that still can't handle these post year-2000 normalities..
