Dark Mode for Windows

EN uses the OS function on the other devices. So in this sense there is feature parity between the different clients, because it draws dark mode support from the OS everywhere, where available. I personally doubt that EN will develop an own dark mode just for Windows to make up for the inability of Microsoft to provide it.

I think you misunderstand how this works. The OS doesn't magically "provide" dark mode. It merely offers a system-level settings switch. It's still up to the app itself to implement dark-themed styling it can switch to when the OS setting changes. This is exactly how it works on Android, for instance. Not to mention there are plenty of Windows apps that enable dark mode already - you really don't need a system-wide setting for that. 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.

Not really. 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...

Yes - come one developers - this is boring now - will consult my coding Friend to investigate why coding a dark mode for PC is beyond the Evernote developers....

I am a lifelong Evernoter (am committed and have poured enough money into the Evernote pot)....

The need for dark mode is twofold - it's better for the user's eyes and it is greener - at the basic level it saves power.

So I think Evernote has to make a choice.

I'd like some answers....

Please go back and read previous posts by @dcon and o/ or @dconnet for more information. I'm pretty sure that he is more knowledgeable about Windows programming than your friend. Or do a web search; there's plenty of information out there on the difficulty of doing dark mode for Win32 applications.

Evernote made a choice, and the answers are already available; see my first suggestion for how to find them. 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. If it were easy, they'd have done it already, as they have on other OS's.

Just discovered a way to get dark mode for evernote on windows! Use the web version of evernote and in chrome use the extension "Night Eye" ... works great visually. At least on my system it does add a bit of lag loading a note but worth the tradeoff.

Some users experienced errors when connecting Evernote to Google Drive 
The app would not restart after changing language settings

I read an old comment written by Evernote's support guy that the "Dark mode feature" for windows is not a priority while now you guys are working for more effective features..

well, UI/UX is the most important in any program or application as we all know, trust me *Dark Mode* is one of the most important feature to any user now days, I'm surprised how wide community you have while you guys are not implementing a lot of UI/UX features and that's why you should be proud actually!

I'm programmer and I can see how hard work you've done already ❤️ and I can imagine the amount of new ideas you get from users and the enthusiasm to implement them 🔥 but you have to keep in mind that all Windows users are waiting for the dark mode 👬👫👭

Merging this with the longer "dark mode for Windows" request...

[dkc 4]

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.

Yeah it is pretty sad when even Outlook now supports dark mode. If you are slower than Outlook, you are barely moving.

[PinkElephant 8,088]

... 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.

Honestly, do tell. Please supply technical details, and be sure to do so in light of the fact that a former Evernote developer who worked on the Windows code, and did the estimates for his bosses said that it would be a lengthy process. His posts are right here in this thread, look for posts by @dcon and @dconnet.

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.

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)!

Yes, some stuff is not running any longer. But no, nothing that could not be replaced or was just a left over from the old days.

So it makes a good test machine) The only other 32bit "machines" I have are a couple Win-XP VMs. Not really sure why I haven't deleted those...

dark theme is pretty common and apps should respect the theme of the os.  the annoying bright white canvas of your app was a quick no and deletion of app.  will be looking for another note taking app.  why just 'dark theme' on the sidebar?  that's not where are eyes are primarily focused.

Use Tusk, an unofficial open source client for Evernote. It looks like it's built on electronjs (basically chrome engine) so it's a bit laggier, but has dark theme and looks modern. But the latest build has problems with themes and the developer hasn't responded yet, so get an older version and that'd suit you.

 

 

[NatashaP 1]

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.

[jonywhit 0]

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.

Hi. If you read the thread,  there's some background information from the software engineer responsible for this part of the app to get you up to date.

[Someone 2]

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.

That's entirely their privilege and choice. 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...

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.

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.

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!

For UWP (Windows Store) apps only. 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.

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.

So that doesn't really hold water.

Sure it does. 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.)

For the love of all things holy, we, the Windows using community who make up the majority of users, NEED dark mode before we go insane.

DEVS please do not ignore us.

Your product will become far more popular. Please.

 

 

Please.

Hey, Evernote, please pull finger out of the dark hole in the rear and add this !! How long do we have to ask ?! What are you doing all these years? I have not noticed any new feature, at least nothing that I would find useful, yet my eyes keep bleeding out looing at that whie window.

The new dark mode is really nice, much better than expected, but the patient is on life support for the time being . . . .

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!

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.

Why? They added dark mode some time ago.

[PinkElephant 8,088]

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.
