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

Another vote for dark mode, please! I, too spend most of my day in Storyline and would appreciate the enhancement for these decrepit eyes.
I would love dark mode since its easy to work with content visually.
+1. This is would be a huge accessibility upgrade for those with light sensitivity issues. My eyes are fried after a day of using SL.
Vote for Dark Mode.. Help me with my headaches.
We've been waiting over two years for this feature. Honestly, how difficult is it, my eyeballs are melting.
Still waiting on this feature. I guess the development team never got around to finding out what the majority of their users want.
Adding another vote for dark mode. Try as I might to tan by the light of my screens, it never really seems to work out. :)
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.
Another vote here for dark mode. Thank you.
This was 1st requested over 2 years ago. If Articulate had any intentions of adding this feature, it would have been done by now. How many people need to request this to be taken seriously?
Hello Glenn!
We aren't looking to see a specific number of requests but evaluating this feature to add a dark mode to Storyline 360 alongside the queue of bug fixes, new features already on the roadmap, and other projects. I understand this is a popular request, and it's not going unnoticed by our team! When this feature is added to our roadmap, we'll be sure to update this discussion.
