Can UI elements be better distinguished in dark mode

In light mode, it is much easier to distinguish different UI elements, especially those activated buttons, and borders of some regions than in dark mode, just like:

It would be better if the colors used in dark mode can be adjusted to improve the distinguishability between elements in the window, especially between active and inactive elements.

If your OS is in dark mode, the System Fusion theme often has greater contrast. The lower contrast Dark Fusion is by design to reduce distraction from the video content.

I looked into this, and for technical reason it is not easy to change. The change is intrusive to code within the Fusion style engine. It took quite a bit of work to change the tabs, requiring difference between top and bottom oriented tabs. The top ones do not bland in as well. The subtitle dividers I am not going to bother with.

Is the appearance in the image below better?

The active tabs are much easier to see in your screen capture. I like that.

Thanks for response, the new appearance seems much better now.

If it is hard to change the dividers for subtitles, how about adjusting the background color of the content window, i.e., using a brighter color, just like the light mode and the new appearance do.

In addition, can long subtitle text be automatically wrapped in the window and add a vertical scrollbar. This may be more in line with common usage habits and can also make better use of the window area.

Thanks for your efforts again. Wish you a pleasant life.

I concur, that’s the only thing I see truly improved, I like it a lot too… Um no, I LOVE it, the color makes a huge difference. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Dark mode for me is dark, not lighter…

Instead of changing the dark mode and affect everyone else (users), maybe asking for a “Gray/Grey” mode (like in GIMP) would be a better option?

I means a color slightly brighter than pure black, rather than white ones.

You can see the example posted in the new appearance, active tabs are slightly brighter than those inactive ones there.

The disabled text areas have been made darker, which make the text inside them more readable.

It looks very nice.
