Windows dark mode?

Paperwork
1

Hi!

Is it possible to enable dark mode for the Windows version of Open Paperwork?
I see the thumbnail on this page that seems to show it.

I’m using version 2.1.2-20-g9fa8d59e on Windows 10.

Thanks

Hello,

The trick is to use Linux :slight_smile:

More seriously, I do use Linux. There is nothing implemented in Paperwork specifically for dark mode as it’s something that is handled by GTK. On Linux, it can be switched using gnome-tweaks or gnome-control-center. On Windows, I’ve never tried to switch to the dark GTK theme (Adwaita-dark), so I don’t know. I’m going to give it a try when I have time.

Best regards,

Hi, have you had a chance to see about dark mode for Windows? :grin:

After a lot of faffing around I’ve finally worked out how to get Paperwork in dark mode on Windows…

You need to add a new value to your Windows environment variables:

GTK_THEME=HighContrastInverse

This worked for me using Paperwork version 2.2.2dev43 on Windows 10.

Hmm, shouldn’t it be GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark ?

Yeah, like roofoo said, that works too. I’ve changed mine to that one now. Thanks.
