Attribute Window Not Legible in Dark Mode

Rex Maximilian — Wed, 07 Jun 2023 00:53:20 GMT

Attributes list in attribute editing windows still showing list of attributes as solid white in dark mode on macOS.

I thought this was reported earlier and would be resolved by now.

Using latest build 5003 on Mac Monterey on M1 Max laptop

5002 UKI FULL. Why am I still seeing this in the interface... there is absolutely no justification for this type of bug after the number of times it has been reported!

It would be really nice if the dark interface could be made to work, but that said, the main drawing window remains white anyway unless you change the background which makes up the vast majority of the screen so I never really saw the benefit of introducing the dark interface other than a gimmick.

My dinosaur eyes struggle with the grey (light) scheme, and since the removal of virtually all colour indicators from the icons, Dark Mode made AC useable again. It isn't perfect, but on balance I find it easier to use. Key word there is easier if GS are reading!

It would be nice to bring back the colour. Use of the orange and blue branding would work nicely. The interface is clean but I do also sometimes find it difficult to differentiate the buttons. My eyes are getting old now too.

I see the same thing with AC 26 build 5002 on an Intel Mac running Ventura. (I was hoping your experience was a glitch in the Apple Silicon version, @Rex Maximilian )

I suppose in Graphisoft's defense, "Enable System Appearance" (Dark/Light mode) is still listed in the Work Environment as an "Experimental Feature". That is a shame after so many years... maybe it will be a real feature of 27! 🙄😀

Working at night in dark mode is very beneficial to my eye health. I often times set the white back ground to a medium to light-gray when in dark mode. It is perfect. Don't underestimate it in its effect on reducing eye-strain.

Yup... three versions now Dark Mode has been available, and this still happens.

This tells me they are intensely disorganized internally with their punch list of bug fixes; because something like this reported many times hasn't been addressed.

And yeah, you're right, it still has that "bat" symbol next to it.

Still happening in AC27 3001 GRE Intel Mac
