In page view, I am trying to replicate the Dark Mode mac theme but on Windows 10. Particularly, I am trying to set the background to become dark, however when I do so, it changes both the background and the editor color itself - which I would prefer the classic black text on a white page.
The macOS version of Scrivener offers a “Keep Main Editors Light” option in the “Appearance” menu (that’s where you also can select Dark, Light or System default mode). I’m not sure about Windows, though.
Here is Pao’s version of the default Theme, called White. The default Theme can’t be saved to file, so this is a good alternatieve to start building Themes based on the Default.
This is the first theme in memory that gives Dark Mode…and…lets you see the folder/container dropdown symbol so you know what those are.
Not only that, but it gives a soft non-blueish color to text.
All the things the slightly retinally challenged person could ask for
I had a squint, at least, using Norton and then a code editor for any funny things; didn’t notice any. And there are a lot of things one could tune, most done with internal settings in Scrivener, no doubt.
Very happy to have this. It won’t substitute for the iPad and Scrivener for much original writing, but now I won’t glance away from using Scrivener on the laptop for the deeper things it can do there.
Best, (and thanks of course to the theme originator, Ash (ayushpokh on the Github project you tagged)

Great Theme in a new tint!
Suggestions for improvement might be to lower the contrast of the lines on the Index Cards in the Corkboard View and make the contrast stronger between a selected row in the Outliner View and the subtle text color of the synopsis. I’m missing the menu bar highlights, set in the QSS stylesheet, but it might be your choice to leave those out. Oh, and I’d like to see better which button in button group for the Group Views is selected. Good job!
I’d be interested to know how you hacked the triangles in front of the folders in the Binder instead of the > characters…
I only created an account for this message. Thank you dearly for this. This is the absolute perfect theme for me and it really got me going with my writing. I sincerely and truly thank you. Maybe now I can finish my series ‘Glimmers of Nothing’.
