Personally I work in Dark Mode on everything, Internet, Word processor, etc, etc. However, scores I find quite illegible. I find a good compromise to be dark blue for background and matte or brownish colour for pages.
What do you mean by ādark modeā, Nando? If you mean enabling Invert colours for music on the Colours page of Preferences, in that case Dorico will show signposts using a white background with black text.
Iām not sure when this got put inā¦ but we have a dark mode (invert colours in music) option in Dorico! As using Magnifier came with issues (everything on all screens flipped, & some hotkeys within Dorico were disabled) - this is great.
Respectfully; why would it be problematic for this to be an option for others? I saw you make a similar comment on another thread related to this topic. Nobodyās suggesting it should be the only option available for all users. Why do you care how other people set up their working environment?
FWIW, white document backgrounds can have a sensory overload effect for people with ADHD and Autism, and necessitate breaks which can lead to heavily disruptive loss of focus and intention. As long as the setting lives with the scoring tool, not the document, who cares?
No. This would drive me crazy.
Option is fine. Something Iām forced to look at is another story entirely. When I was a sophmore organ performance major (back in the dark ages), my instructor suggested that I do a recital based on little known Baroque Dutch organ composers. Sounded interesting so I agreed until I found out that there were nearly no scores available. He did, however, have āXeroxā copies of several hundred of individual pieces.
I went to his office to gather the lot to review and the āXeroxā copies were black background with white printing on 11/17 paper with adjacent pages on the same sheet. OMG. NO! NO! NO! My instructor got a good chuckle over that and said he was just āyanking my chain.ā Two things: I was young and dumb; and, I nearly started a lifetime of migraines looking at those scores! Thank you but no thanks. Iāll skip this one. Peace. 
I appreciate that you are supporting my idea. However, continue an out-of-date argument without confirming the current state of the appā¦ (at least to me) isnāt a good idea: itās rude to the devs.
Why? ācause Dorico 6 already supports this feature.
(This thread should be locked. If I was one of the mods of this forum Iāll definitely lock this thread. The atmosphere of this entire thread looks way too picky than the newer one.)
Yes, Dorico 6 supports this feature. Which I discovered after finding an article describing it about two pages down my search engine result lists after finding this thread.
Policing other peopleās posts without understanding the context they were made in isnāt is equally rude.
And yes - the thread should have been locked and unregistered from search when the sheet music colour control was implemented.
Since I use the dark mode my printerās cartridge is empty all the time.
I prefer exporting PDF to make sure it is transparent-background & dark texts before printing it.
Iām not commenting Doricoās performance. Itās just how my obsessive-compulsive disorder works across the last two decades: If I have something to print, I make PDFs first. I donāt defer the printing task to the content editor app.
Same for me, I hardly ever print from Dorico directly.
eh, I was being conversational. Go dark mode if that floats your boat!
