Any way to change the entire interface's theme dark? Like the tabs area and stuff

Open vpsj opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

I notice in the screenshot the top toolbar, the tab area and all that stuff is still white as a ghost and feels like an eye sore with a dark theme. I've been trying to search for a solution but the closest I got is to buy WindowBlinds which I can't get it to work for Sumatra for some reason.

Can this template be edited in such a manner to allow universal dark theme for ALL the elements of Sumatra?

As far as I know, nope. There are a lot of software for Windows that suffer from the same issue. 7zip dark themes get around this by recompiling the program with changed colors, for example. But I'll do more research and if I can't find anything I'll close this later.

Setted ToolbarColor in FixedPageUI not working.

Unchecked View -> Show Toolbar may be a little help.

I think I found the exact part of their code that controls this:

I'm currently talking with SumatraPDF's devs to see if it would be possible to expose that single boolean into the Custom Themes section!

Hi @fabiorzfreitas. I kept this thread open in the hopes that someone would come up with a solution. I am following the other thread but please keep us posted. As soon as a way to do that is confirmed I will update the theme ASAP. Thanks :)
