Dark Mode Bug

Hello, AC26 Mac Silicon has a bug when searching for materials.

Also, some buttons are invisible:

Their solution is to keep something in perpetual beta mode to avoid addressing the issue I guess. Especially when every other major software out there has a "non-beta" dark mode option that works.

Sometimes it's the little things that say soooo much.

it's a bit of a shame really. recently having had to deal with revit, i can definitely say that archicad has such a good interface going on if it wasn't for all the inconsistencies and the bugs..

It is such a shame! Since the introduction of the Dark Mode feature and besides a lot of promises for fixes, it was not improved/fixed. It makes me angry...

Revit does NOT have Dark Mode, at least according the official Revit Roadmap.

If you go to its website, you will see that it is on their Roadmap, so it is not available in the current software (it is being worked on):

@Laszlo Nagy Wouldn't it be nice if Graphisoft had a public roadmap for ArchiCAD?

Sorry, couldn't resist. 🙃

Yes, it would be.

Just because the competition does not offer it (yet) is an excuse not to fix this nasty annoyance?
I question this attitude......

What attitude?

Rex stated that 'every' other software has a dark mode.

Laszlo simply replied that Revit does not have a dark mode - just correcting what Rex stated.

Laszlo never said that was a reason not to fix it.

I think Laszlo was responding more to the Revit comment that came after mine. To clarify also, when I stated "every other" I was referring to MacOS software being that I'm a Mac user.

I always appreciate Laszlo's responses since he's the only GS moderators who steps in and interacts on the more controversial posts.

Last time I checked Revit isn't available for macOS so that isn't a valid comparison.

The point is, I would imagine there are many AC users on macOS that use Dark Mode permanently or intermittently and AC should be able to seamlessly switch between modes. It is an integral part of the OS and an accepted part of development requirements for macOS software. So how after all this time can GS still justify this messy implementation?

Laszlo quoted you, so I assumed it was you reply he was talking about.

Ah, yes, I see he bolded my comment. A misunderstanding as I was talking about Mac apps (which Revit is not) that fully support Dark Mode. But still, to have that in "beta mode" for three releases when dark mode support on MacOS is nearly ubiquitous is a shame. Especially when the few flaws of dark mode have been reported in beta testing.

Laszlo Nagy — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 21:36:34 GMT

Romans, and all,

Yes, I responded to Rex's comment specifically.

Maybe for Emre, Rex, and others, it was obvious that you guys are talking about the macOS platform. I did not pick that up, so I was thinking of Dark Mode in general, regardless of platform, hence my comment.

My comment was not aimed at implying that this is not an important issue. However, after I forwarded the issue to Graphisoft, there is not much else I can do to influence how and when it will be dealt with.

Re: Dark Mode Bug

Emre Senoglu — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 21:38:35 GMT

Thanks for forwarding the issue Laszlo. There are a few other bugs in regards to the dark mode, and I hope the ones I pointed out somehow can get GS to look further into polishing them out.

Re: Dark Mode Bug

Romans — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 22:00:05 GMT

Hi Laszlo,
Thank you for addressing the problem with GS. It is indeed an issue that needs to be fixed since it is frustrating the user experience and therefore productivity.

Re: Dark Mode Bug

Rex Maximilian — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 22:43:51 GMT

Thanks Lazslo. I didn't perceive your comment as anything more than it was either, which was simply stating that Revit did not have dark mode.

Thanks for reminding R&D of this issue.

Yes, there are others. I notice when you "switch" to dark mode while ArchiCAD is running, a lot of the text in the navigator, like item names, stay black against the dark background. But if you quit while in dark mode, then relaunch ArchiCAD as it will boot up in dark mode, then the navigator items appear fine.
