Dark Mode

Dark Mode in action - window appearance changes to a dark theme using WindowTop’s dark mode feature

Dark mode allows you to force any window to be dark. It may come in handy if the window does not have native dark-mode support.

  • The feature makes the window dark by inverting the window colors.
  • The feature automatically stops color inversion when it detects the window is dark.
    For example, if you start browsing a dark website, dark mode detects that the window is already dark and will disable the color inversion effect.
  • The feature also comes with a built-in algorithm to avoid inverting the colors of images (Dark mode - filter images option in the toolbar)
    Note that this algorithm will reduce rendering performances so we recommend disabling it for windows that never show images or disabling it anyway if you don’t care that images will be inverted.

Enabling the SET-DARK (Set dark button) button and hotkey

By default, the dark mode button is not shown on the toolbar, and no hotkey is assigned.
To enable it in the toolbar and assign hotkey:

  1. Dear God. That software is brilliant.
    feedback = check dark reader’s (web extension) pallet of inverted colors.
    It’s less pitch-black and the colors (not the b’n’w parts) are very comfortable.

    Right here I have 3 shades of very dark gray but very eye-candy in terms of comfort.

    Much love. Congratulations big time.

    PS. Now I’ll definitely need one alternative for my ubuntu (I use a dual-boot laptop for work and play).
