Dark mode for Storyline 360

Hi there

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...

Cheers

Simon

  • I would love to see dark mode added to Articulate Storyline.  I do a lot of development, and sometimes my eyes get so strained looking at bright white screens in Storyline that I feel dizzy and nauseated. Dark mode is an essential feature in any software. 

  • I agree - Dark mode would be super helpful. I've recently had eye surgery and while I'm cleared to go back to work, its easier for me to work in dark mode (less strain on my eyes). I can literally change all of my programs except Storyline, which unfortunately is the one I use the most.

    Storyline devs, please give us dark mode! SL360 now lags behind the other creative applications in this department.

  • Any word on getting a dark mode for Storyline? The difference between Storyline and the rest of Windows when in dark mode is pretty jarring.

    Did this get implemented? I would love to be able to work in Storyline using a dark mode.

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

    Hi, I would appreciate a dark mode too. Storyline´s interface is too bright and in order to work on it for long periods I have to low the brightness to the monitor and this can be troublesome for realizing how is going to be the final product. We need it, please.

    I really really really want/need a dark mode option for development. It helps so much with headaches.

    IMVHO, as long as developers are given a choice--like Microsoft gives us four choices currently.

    I know some developers that absolutely hate dark or black backgrounds despite the visual benefits.  While I know others that feel the opposite.

      Hi Gerry

      I agree. Having multiple options is ideal so that the individual can make a choice based on their personal preference. 

  • Thanks Leslie

    I was asking prior to submitting a request in case the feature was already available and I was just looking in the wrong place.

    Cheers
