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 here for dark mode! And surely it meets your criteria (from How we manage feature requests):
We consider the value this potential new feature would offer to our customers. We ask ourselves:
- Will this feature meaningfully improve the experience of working with our software?
- Will it benefit a majority of users?
If we feel like the answer is “yes!”, we bring the request to our product development team.
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.
Dark mode would be a huge quality of life improvement for me as well. Please implement!
Bring on dark mode!!!! Bright white screens are a migraine trigger for me.
Bring the dark mode!!!
Ditto, Surender!!!!
Another GIANT VOTE for Dark mode. Please join the long list of Adobe CC, all major web browsers, Microsoft, TechSmith Camtasia and Snagit.
I just submitted a feature request. Perhaps the more requests, the more it will be given priority?
Please integrate dark mode ASAP.Our team recently switched over from the PowerPoint extension to Storyline, and having my eyes splashed daily with this vinegar color scheme is really starting to grate on me.
Another vote for dark mode. Give the people what they need!
I'd like to add my name to this request to add a dark mode feature to Storyline, please. Both a full dark mode (black) and a dark grey mode.
Agreeing with the posters above that it can be hard on the eyes to look at a bright screen all day when designing courses, especially those of us with larger screens.
For me this is not a preference, it actually hurts my eyes to stare at this program all day. It's become a necessity to turn all my programs to dark mode, and download dark mode for my browser. This is the only program I have to regularly use that requires I stare at large amounts of white.
It I would substantially improve my ability to work and change how much discomfort I am in each day if this feature were added. Please and thank you.
