Would Appeon provide a dark theme for the PowerBuilder IDE? My eye hurts with all this bright white background!

I've created my own "Dark mode" - it's only for script and sql editors, but it's better than nothing. Put these values in your pb.ini if you like

Hoy día todos los IDEs llevan incorporado el modo oscuro, no entiendo como a estas alturas Powerbuilder sigue en ese sentido como en los años 90... Provoca que mucha gente no quiera programar en PowerBuilder.

Yes, we understand usefulness of "Dark Mode", but our first priority is to revamp the editor.  After that is done, then we can consider to support "Dark Mode".  Please refer to product roadmap to understand our plans: https://www.appeon.com/developers/roadmap

I have my monitor brightness at 30% already. Everything on my screen is dark except Powerbuilder. I really hope Appeon can do something to save my eyes :-)

Hi, Peter - 

I know that productivity improvements to the IDE are on the product roadmap, but I'm not privy to any details. In the meantime, what I do is turn down the brightness setting on my monitors a little bit, which also helps when using web browsers, MS Word, MS Outlook, and other apps.wink
