Coming from Finale, I greatly enjoy most of Dorico UI’s dark mode. There is one part of it, however that seems inconsistent: the menu bar. Like this:
Is there any way to make the menu bar and its items dark? I’m running Windows 11; MacOS seems to look the same.
The menu bar is purposely contrasted with the rest of the dark UI because it carries different functionality.
There’s no way to change the colour of the menu bar.
Ok… is there a specific reason for that? can it be put down as a feature request? It really bugs me…
For reference, MuseScore’s dark mode does have a dark menu bar.
We don’t interfere with the operating system settings for the menu bar. I believe Windows has a dark mode setting these days, and presumably that affects the menu bar?
Yes, it does have a dark mode, and that is turned on for me, for both default Windows mode and default application mode. Looked my settings up and down for more settings, searched the web a bit, no-go… it’s as dark as I can make it without high-contrast mode.
In looking over Dorico’s backend files and Dorico acknowledgements, I see seeming references to Qt 6.5. I also read that Qt 6.5 introduces stable light/dark mode features. Would it be possible to have three modes, explicitly light, explicitly dark, and system (unchanged)? Most other modern apps have such features…
