VB7.0 Ubuntu23.10 Dark Mode

Post by akmartinez1 »

Hello everyone,

I have a vision disability and I'm trying to enable a Dark Mode for VB7 on Ubuntu 23.10.1.

I've beel doing some research and it looks like it was available at one time or even now but the path to enable it is not available to me.

I've seen instructions (vids) to go to File/Preferences/Interface to get to the options to enable a dark theme but my menu does not have an Interface option.

I've been looking around within the menus and settings to experiment with but cannot find an option that would help me.

In a previous version of VB on a previous version of Ubuntu (22.04) I was able to change to a dark theme but can't seem to accomplish this now.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Alan

Dark mode settable through the Interface Preference is apparently only available on Windows hosts, if I read a PM correctly.

You'll have to try to get a dark theme in the host OS settings, if such a thing can be done. I understand the Qt interface in Linux is apparently configurable.

I too wish that there was a dark mode with Linux host for the same reasons.
Do we know why it is not in the Linux versions but is in the windows one?
I makes a very big diff to me (and others who are visually impaired).
