Just wondering if there is a way now (or will be...) in SL360 settings to have the build tool adjustable to a dark grey background and tool bars like in the MS Office suite and Adobe CC programs. I jump from those with a nice dark grey to Storyline 360 and it's bright white window is a bit of a jolt on the eyes...
Now that we have Dark and Light mode as themes in player, I wanted to check if there's a possibility we can swap them in between the course by a click. Like we can do in other applications from a toggle button. I have tried duplication of slide but this seems to be a tedious task to create a copy of every slide/scene.
I would really appreciate if anyone can share tips/tricks/relevant link if they have already tried doing this. I'm struggling on this one. for a while now.
Another vote here, the developers have spent alot of time developing accessibility features for the end user but forgotten the actual people who create the courses!
Dark mode please. It is incredibly jarring to move from every other program I use with dark mode enabled to SL 360, with its eye-burning blazing white interface. The bright background increases eye-strain and reduces productivity. Please implement dark mode as soon as possible.
The content we develop gives learners the choice between dark and light mode, but the actual content developers don't get that choice. Not cool. Blue light blocking readers only do so much. Three years on... feels like we're being bread-crumbed.
This request was posted 3 years ago and it's still not on the roadmap. This is a standard accessibility feature in almost every software available today.
When will Articulate start listening to and supporting their users and implement features that we request? This isn't even a ridiculous request. I can't tell you the number of times I've been on threads that have been collecting requests for 2+ years before features have been considered for implementation.
Jeff, maybe the issue here is that articulate needs to retune their "feel likes" as we are here telling you and EVERY major software developer has FELT like it would benefit their users. I think though what "feel like" actually mean for articulate (now that storyline is on every job description in the training development field) is "Will people stop paying for storyline if we do not include this?" The answer is no. Because the users do not often get to choose which software they will use AND there are no other 'real' options. Thus, we do not get dark mode or the equally AMAZINGLY SIMPLE ability to include formatting default in slide notes or on slide notes in template files (I know that has been a request for at least 9 years).
Your reply makes the case as to why there is no excuse for it not to be added by now. Storyline is now the industry standard. As you said, it's on every job description, so that means Articulate is making millions annually on this product. From individual licenses to corporate licenses. No excuses that they don't have enough money to hire more programmers to add these types long-requested features. Dark mode for software this day and age is just as standard as Storyline has become.
There is another thread just as old as this one of people requesting native 4K monitor support. Same situation as this one. There's no reason Articulate can give as to why these standard features haven't been added by now. But as you said, there are no other real options, so they have no reason to care.
I wouldn't call Adobe Captivate "no other real option". I only use Storyline because it is what everyone at my place of work uses (over 100 licenses). I would not hesitate to jump back on Captivate, given the choice.
Thanks for checking in on this! Currently, dark mode is not available for Storyline 360. A request has been submitted for this feature. I'm going to add your voice to the request and if it makes it onto our feature roadmap, we’ll update you in this conversation!
With all the studies being released on the effects of blue light, it's a shame our health isn't being prioritized, even after three years of being aware of this request.

Another vote for dark mode
It's been almost 3 years since this request and still nothing has changed. Why?
i also would like dark mode :)

The light and dark options for the player is different than what this thread is about. This thread is about dark mode for Storyline 360 in general.
I am also voting for dark mode. Thanks.

Dark mode is extremely beneficial, when will this be implemented?

Great question. It’s not even on the potential development road map that the company publishes.
This request was posted 3 years ago and it's still not on the roadmap. This is a standard accessibility feature in almost every software available today.

I would love dark mode while designing, please make it an available feature!
Has a dark mode been implemented in the last 3 years? Would be extremely helpful. Couldn't find any settings for it, maybe I missed it?
Hi Tim,

Another point for Dark mode, come on guys, it's almost 2023.
Dark mode please!
Do we have a dark mode function enabled yet on Storyline?
