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

Dark mode please

Please consider adding a Dark Mode feature if it has not been added to the roadmap already.
It would tremendously improve the experience of working in storyline whether one requires high contrast color settings, suffers from headaches, eye strain, or works at night.

I'll throw out that Storyline currently does not handle Windows 11 dark mode properly. I opened a presentation that includes speaker's notes, and it looks like this:
The problem is that if I change the font color to white so I can see the notes, then anyone who opens the Storyline file in light mode isn't going to see the notes. So for the time being, that means I either have to pick a neutral color like medium gray which isn't great for either or I have to acquiesce and use light mode.
Storyline needs to take a page from the Office applications and learn how to handle dark mode properly.
Hello Greg!
I appreciate you adding these details and screenshot! I've added it to our report for our Engineering team. I'll return to this discussion when I have an update to share.

It's been almost 3 years since this request and still nothing has changed. Why?
- KyleMullaneyCommunity Member
Great question. It’s not even on the potential development road map that the company publishes.

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.

I would love dark mode while designing, please make it an available feature!

Hello Eric,
Thank you for including our feedback in the feature report!
I'm excited about the potential benefits of dark mode in Storyline 360. It would definitely help reduce eye strain during long development sessions and improve focus, especially in low-light environments. It’s also great to hear that you’re open to additional comments.
Hi Jai!
Thanks for sharing!
I've logged your feedback with our development team, and we'll notify you if this feature makes it to our Feature Roadmap. Have a great rest of your week!
