LIBREOFFICE DARK THEME INSTALL

That is all well and good, except… the suggestion made here (using Dark Reader) did work, and all of a sudden (and after years of working fine, mind you), stopped working. I don't believe we currently have any plans to implement a native dark mode for the Affinity Forums, though I will be sure to pass your request through to our web team here.

Also Ubuntu’s default install includes a large number of apps that haven’t been updated for the new dark style (including LibreOffice, Transmission, gedit, gnome-terminal, and the “simple” games).I'm sorry to hear you feel this way as confirmed above the Affinity team do not tend to respond to 'feature request' posts here on the forums.Ī workaround was suggested to the OP, and this is still the only recommended way of viewing the Affinity forums in a 'dark theme'. To change that now with little notice would be a real regression. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS has a similar toggle switch in its version of the GNOME Settings app, which means that Ubuntu already officially supported the dark style for all GTK3 apps. And dark style is not even the main reason why the recommended apps were changed.)īut there are a huge number of apps that people use that aren’t part of core GNOME. (The older apps gedit and gnome-terminal don’t support the new style yet. One convenient way GNOME was able to meet this goal was to switch their recommended text editor and terminal app to new apps. This isn’t much of a problem for GNOME since almost every app in their core GNOME product has opted in to allow the dark style in time for the 42 release. There’s a conflict here between the objective to have apps look as good as possible with the new dark style (or at least as the developer “intended”) and a person’s desire to have their apps look dark when they turn on the dark button. Otherwise, the app will still have its usual style (probably light) no matter if dark was enabled or not. However, GNOME 42’s new implementation has one important detail: Developers need to explicitly opt in each GTK3 app to the new dark style feature. A new transition effect was added (also inspired by elementary) to more elegantly crossfade when the style is switched. A lot of work was done in GNOME apps to fix visual dark style bugs. A toggle switch in the new Appearance panel in the core Settings app enables and disables the feature. Now in GNOME 42, it is officially supported, expanding on a concept from elementary OS 6.

But GNOME Tweaks has never been a part of core GNOME and that tweak was never officially supported by GNOME. Soon after that, GNOME Tweaks provided an option to enable the dark theme for all apps.

In early GNOME 3 releases, developers of some media apps like photo viewers enabled an optional dark theme for their apps. You might be thinking, how can this be new when I’ve been using a dark theme for a long time? GNOME will officially support a global dark style for the first time with its 42 release next week.
