DARK mode

[Chrisj8691]

I'm getting up there in age and am finding reading documents a lot harder with a white background and black text. I can change the background of a given PDF file and make the text white and background black which is so much easier on the eyes. Can the development team create the User Interface to be changeable to a dark mode, black background with white text?

if so, can you email me instructions on how to? I am on Ubuntu 18.04LTS and use foxit for all of my PDF needs.

Please go to "Edit"->"Preferences"->"General"->set Document Color Options there and see if it helps. Thank you.

Here one can change text and text background colours only.

The problem is to darken the whole user interface. When in night mode all panels stay still white and their contrast with dark text background makes look and feel even worse.

grimble, Thanks for your reply. Do you mean that Foxit Reader for Linux's user interface color is still not changed after you having set a dark page background for displaying PDF file,so the user interface is too bright for you? If so,I have suggested our product management team provide several different user interface skins for user's choice in Foxit Reader for Linux so that you could manually choose a dark user interface according to your own needs.The report ID for this suggestion is#MACLNX-13.

Support for Apple's new Dark Mode in Mac OS would be very nice too:

Thank you for answering.

The problem is with Foxit PDF Reader for Linux and Windows as well. When in night mode panels background stays bright.

In Linux version submenu background is system wide so when dark system theme is chosen submenus get darken but panels stay bright.

Windows version has ribbon interface now so there are no menus but only bright panels in dark mode.

grimble ,Thanks for your reply. For the situation"Foxit Reader for windows panels background stays bright under night mode",I have submitted the suggestion"Turn the Foxit Reader user interface panels background into dark too under night mode" as a new feature request to our internal feature system with suggestion ID#PHANTOM-12835.

As for Foxit Reader for Linux,there is no night mode yet. I have submitted the suggestion "Add a night mode in Foxit Reader for Linux to make both of page background and Foxit Reader UI panels turn dark" to our Foxit Reader for Linux's product management team's reference with suggestion ID#MACLNX-4575.

Can you complete the black skin? There are places where the background is white which is annoying in dark mode

I think there is a bug with dark mode/accessibility options.
I can't see the highlighter when some accessibility option is on.
maybe highlight needs to change to outline mode instead of filled-in solid color in dark mode/accessibility mode
