Revit currently only has the ability through Options>Graphics to change the color of the background which in a small way allows for reduced eye strain but it leaves the browsers etc in white so it is only a part solution.,
as Autodesk did very well with AutoCAD. Thanks for consideration
When you don't work on a computer and you use it like 2 hours a day it's okay but when it's your main tool here the problem begin and it's getting worse when you grow older unfortunately.
If you look at the apps on smartphone, almost every of them are getting a dark mode, people are getting aware of the health issues screens can create.
If you are willing to demonstrate that the well being of your customers is important, just don't stop half way and continue what you begun (possibility to change the drawing screen, the top of the window) and add all the menus in dark mode too.
The customers would be grateful if you show some love to them.
I'm an autocad designer, I want to start working on Revit software
The thing that I have a special problem with eyes and I could only work in dark mode (black background white caption) like there is in autocad, I didn't find such an option in Revit,
@Anonymous: You can change the background color to any solid color. But it's not usefull. It looks weird. I use a greyish background. Revit does not use layer colors like Autocad. Reversing black-white colors won't help much.
As a visually impaired person i feel so bad looking at revit white interface. I saw that inventor is completely dark so i dont understand why they are struggling to implement this. We dont need only dark theme there should more than two option, blue green or something nice clean and good for eyes.
I am seriously disappointed that there is not a TRUE dark theme for this program YET as much at it costs. It is just sad the best answer is to invert the color through the magnifier as if most people don't use their other monitor screens for their other programs/tasks. Most other programs do and it isn't like this would be very big of a deal to add on.
I know the whole community would be thankful for this. Please give us this option.
I can't believe there isn't fully functional dark mode in Revit... I've been using Autocad many years, and now switching to Revit and it really kills my eyes... Come on Autodesk, it's 2021...
As an architecture student who recently learned AutoCAD and was just introduced to Revit, I found it surprising that Revit does not have a full dark mode option. The dark AutoCAD interface was much easier on the eyes. I hope Autodesk will listen to these customer concerns and add this capability soon.
Revit 2022 just released and there is still no more official solution for dark theme? We use multiple screens (other than revit) so doing a invert of colors through windows defeats the purpose......

@Anonymous @Caleb.Wassman It's actually easy to mimic Autocad interface.
1. Go to File menu, then Options, Interface, Background color -> set it to black.
2. Go to Visibility/Graphics (press VG or VV), then press Object Styles button, then set the color of all categories to white (or any other color you want).
Object Styles colors and linestyles are "kind of" the equivalent of Autocad's layers colors and linestyles.
Visibility/Graphics are "kind of" the equivalent of Autocad's object overrides in viewports. Like when a layer has a color and a lineweight, but you want a single object on that layer to have another color or another lineweight in a single viewport.
Revit is much smarter than Autocad, because it automatically scales lineweights to drawing scale. In Autocad, a layer have a fixed lineweight like 0,5 mm which is fine for scale 1:50, but it's not fine for scale 1:200 or 1:500 because the lines will print very very thick. So you have to duplicate the layer for scale 1:200, duplicate all the lines on the new layer, then set another lineweight for the new layer.
Autocad doesn't have Levels of Detail like Revit, so in Autocad you have to manually hide small objects (like turning off layers) at different scales.
@Caleb.Wassman Obviously it does not. And i bet it would look extremely ugly, because Revit icons are so bleak and colorless i can barely distinguish one from another. If Revit icons would be colorful like Autocad icons are, using Revit would be so much easier.
White background, all objects in black color, bleak icons, drawing in 2d views instead of drawing directly in 3D views, the excessive use of reference planes, very poor and odd dimensioning tools, all these are BAD architectural habits. Being an engineer myself, i hate them too (very much).
Many people proposed ideas about Revit having dedicated custom workspaces for each specialty, like in Autocad. (I just love .cuix files). Please vote those ideas to make Autodesk understand not all backgrounds must be white. Black interfaces matter (too).
