I've got several of such apps open at this very moment: Notepad++, Sublime Text, Android Studio, Skype (the classic one, not the UWP version), Fork. As far as I can tell, Notepad++ (which I use a lot) doesn't implement a true dark mode, which would include UI elements as well; seeing as how the Settings dialog doesn't change is a clue. What it does offer is the ability to theme the editor, and some themes are dark ones. I assume that Sublime Text, VSCode, Atom, etc. are also like that. If that suffices for you, fine, and that would probably be a lot easier to implement in Evernote than what I believe that others are asking for, and which, I believe, is the holdback on Evernote offering true dark mode. To be honest, a better ability to theme default editing would be handy, though. I don't know how big the Evernote UI surface is, but for fun, I ran a simple check on the code base that I live in, and it has 480+ dialog and property pages that I could detect, and probably more that I didn't get to. It sure wouldn't be fun converting those to be dark-modeable. We do, one the other hand, offer a fair number of translated versions, which is probably more important for us than dark mode.

The only way a Win32 app knows that is by looking at an undocumented registry key. (Unless MS has changed that in the last few months - I work on Ubuntu now so I don't really keep up on things like that) And trying to get some system components (like the list control) to draw correctly is ... um ... I'm sure people at Evernote can still hear the echos of my screams (I left last June!) when I tried to get the listctrl working correctly... Link to comment

That's not to say that the choice will stand forever, but I think you'll find that there was a rational business reason for making their choice.

0 dkc 4 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 PLEASE enable a dark mode that switches the default background colors for the whole app (window header, menus, notes list, and the notes themselves) to dark gray or black and the default text color to light gray or white (user-selected text colors would of course override, but be adjusted for viewability). People who use the app a lot have been trying to tell you their eyes are bleeding. You've implemented this for Android (THANK YOU!), so you know how to make it work from a practical standpoint. Perhaps it's difficult from a programming standpoint, but PLEASE put the work in to make it happen. Your users' eyes will thank you! I know there's a popular request out there already to be able to change the background color of just the notes themselves. That request has been floating around for 8 years and has garnered support, but no action. Obviously, if you implement that, any user-selected note color would override the dark gray/black background in that note. Link to comment

0 Level 5 PinkElephant 8,807 Posted April 24, 2020 Level 5 Share Posted April 24, 2020 ... even Outlook ... One should keep in mind that Outlook is from Microsoft, so they are very close to new OS features. In case of the EN client for Windows, it is still a 32bit app. These can’t „borrow“ the feature from Win10, which is 64bit. So to get dark mode, EN needs to release the whole app in a completely new, 64 bit version. There would probably nothing be left from today’s client, maybe except the logo. And yes, this is over due. Getting a dark mode is probably one of the least important issues in a 64bit-Release of the Windows App. I still run a PC, but have shifted most of my activity over to a Mac, and my iPad. Both get dark mode directly from the OS. I think the Windows client will be launched with the new editor, hopefully soon. Link to comment

See my posts from (I'm guessing) a year ago. 18 hours ago, PinkElephant said: So to get dark mode, EN needs to release the whole app in a completely new, 64 bit version. Dark mode has nothing to do with 32v64 bits. Windows Dark Mode is implemented in WindowsRT. We're (darn it - they're) a Win32 app (that refers to the API we're built on, not 32v64 bits - microsoft has such wonderful (confusing) names for some things). The application could be converted to 64 bits far easier - I'm guessing that wouldn't take more than a week, assuming all the 3rd party libraries in use are available. (no, don't suggest doing that - because now you've increased the installer complexity by more than 2. you've increased the testing effort by 2x. And frankly, it's not that memory constrained except in a couple particular places (import/export of enex files for instance).) Supporting dark mode means completely (and I mean completely) rewriting the entire UI layer. Either in another technology (WinRT) or by completely customizing all the standard controls currently in use. (For instance, I tried to do the standard list control - after a solid week of work it was nowhere close - I'm sure it can be done, but at that time I had other bugs that were far more critical.) Finally, there is a complete rewrite in progress. See the Beta thread. 2 Link to comment

Where I work, we've supported both 32- and 64-bit versions for some time. But this year, we'll be dropping the 32-bit version finally. Doesn't make much sense any for us to keep it -- we do GIS, and mapping data can be really large/dense (e.g. billions of Lidar points), so we often need as much memory and processor as we can get. Easier for the installer person, for the testers, and for us devs, too. So hooray (for us)! 1 Link to comment

0 NatashaP 1 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I'm seeing comments about this from over 3 years ago. This is clearly something that is wanted by the community. Why hasn't it been implemented yet? One article says that they don't even have a timeline for Windows/Web dark mode because they're "focusing on performance improvements and feature parity" before they're going to bother adding a dark mode for the rest of us. That was from 2018!!! If you're actually "focused on feature parity" then you would have added a dark mode when all of the other platforms got it. You instead make useless updates that either ruin the program, or no one needs when you could be doing something helpful like including PC users in the dark mode feature. I quite literally do not understand why this basic feature has been excluded from this program and has continued to be ignored for so long. It's about time this happens. 1 Link to comment
0 jonywhit 0 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Annoying consequence of Dark Mode being available on some systems and not others: I have Dark Mode on one Mac running 10.14 (Mojave) but then my other Mac (with 10.13) doesn't have it, so notes with multiple colours are a nightmare because some colours don't stand out on white, others don't on black. If we could simply change the colour of the note background, that would solve it, at least it's a crude workaround if a full Dark Mode can't be implemented on all systems. Thanks. Link to comment

0 Someone 2 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I loved EN but stopped using it several years ago just because I didn't like looking at all the green. I'm more of a pastel blue or purple person, or even grey or beige. Green everywhere, especially on white, just made me not want to look at the app. Even the forums are green! Every couple of years I check this forum to see if there have been any changes to the UI to make things more appealing to more people's eyes, and I'm always disappointed. You guys clearly have a talented dev and QA team, and the app is great. But when people keep not wanting to use an app because of the way it looks (whether it's the green or the light/dark mode or anything else), regardless of how great the features are, it's impossible to tell how many customers you miss out on. I switched to another app years ago even though the other app had (and probably still has) fewer features. I switched to it because I like how it looks. I like opening it. It's eye candy to my brain, and for that reason alone I use it even when the company takes out features. Every few years when I open EN to see if it has changed any, I think "Nope, still that same green" and I close it and make a mental note to check again a few years later. If people don't want to use the app solely because of the way it looks, regardless of whether it's the color scheme, font, etc., then for those people it won't matter how much dev effort you put into adding more bells and whistles.

I've avoided apps because the UI is unattractive. The problem with providing flexibility is: it has to work and (theoretically) look the same in multiple operating systems on a wide variety of screen sizes. The cost of implementing this would not be inconsiderable - and there's no obvious return for Evernote; would it drive new customers? Or just annoy existing users who see the app getting bloated with more and more option choices... Link to comment

It is something that needs to happen and is quite possible. I mean this is a "Feature Request" forum and that is what you are supposed to do, to help prioritize requests. Link to comment

0 ptaylor999 0 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Why are you guys holding out on Dark Mode for Windows? Is it really that difficult? You are seriously the LAST app I have that does not have Dark Mode. Time to move into the 21st century. Link to comment

Sucks cause i like the layout of evernote better You're posting in an Evernote Windows thread. And - How to enable dark mode in Evernote To enable the dark theme in Evernote on your iOS 12 device: - Open Evernote. - Tap the Account tab at the far right of the navigation toolbar. - Find Dark Theme in the menu, then toggle the switch. It should be green when the dark theme is enabled. Note: Toggle the dark theme setting off to disable it. Link to comment
0 cp10 0 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Yes this is VERY frustrating. I found a workaround which is to run Bluestacks, an Android OS emulator for windows. This is the only way I can think to do it currently, and obviously it's not as intuitive (and also doesn't allow for text encryption), but it sorta gets the job done. Link to comment
0 Bazrael 0 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Just wanted to add my vote for getting this feature into the windows client. I just subscribed to premium and didn't even consider that this wouldn't be able to do dark mode or some kind of background adjustment to make daily use more tolerable for the eyes. Like others it would seem, I am a bit disappointed and not sure it is feasible to use it for daily work. Thank you for considering this request! Link to comment

We're an old-style Win32 app (even the WinStore version of EN is still considered Win32). Fam, Firefox is a Win32 app. When I switch my Windows theme to dark mode, it changes to the dark Firefox theme. So that doesn't really hold water. You're not open source. No real reason for me to stick with Evernote over OneNote if some colors are too much to ask for - and it's clear you guys acknowledge the need for this feature, otherwise you would've told your users on every other platform to pack sand, the way you are to your Windows users. >:/ For the record, I fully agree that this feature should be implemented. Professional apps are dark, it'd be nice to have this. Quote Why are you guys holding out on Dark Mode for Windows? Is it really that difficult? You are seriously the LAST app I have that does not have Dark Mode. Time to move into the 21st century. lol There's one other holdout in my suite of software... Filezilla. Try as I might, no other FTP client comes close, and they apparently have NO intention of implementing a dark mode. Link to comment

Evernote uses lots of controls out of the Common Control DLL. Firefox doesn't. Some of them are not easy to tweak. (I know, I tried customizing the list control. I lost a lot of hair.) 1 Link to comment

0 tedelliott19 0 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Now that we have Dark Mode for Windows, does anyone know how to make the bar at the very top of the application also show as black instead of white? Not a big deal, just a bit OCD! Everything dark except the bar with the min, max, X at the very top! Link to comment
0 Cheese Patrol 0 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Is Evernote in focus in that screenshot? Mine is set to the system color (dark gray in my case) when in focus, but changes to white when it isn't. Link to comment

0 Level 5 PinkElephant 8,807 Posted June 11, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 11, 2021 No dark mode for 6.25, and since it is end of life, it will never get dark mode. One could simply upgrade to EN v10 (with dark mode), but for some this is too easy, or whatever. Link to comment

This needs to happen for Windows users. Great that Dark Theme is out for Android, iOS, OSX, but still missing for Windows. Evernote is the ONLY app in my workflow that doesn't support dark mode in W
