Hi, this is the link to my comment about the same topic:

Dark screen mode for SDL products? - 2. Trados Studio - Trados Studio - RWS Community

Hi - just thought I'd comment here as I recently rediscovered the Colors customization feature in Studio that can help at least to some extent with this. Are you aware of this feature? For instance, you can switch defaults to have white text on black background, or choose a light gray text colour if needed. More information is available at https://docs.rws.com/813470/887746/trados-studio-2021-sr2/file--options---colors

 

This is available under File - Options - Colors and there are quite some options there to play with. In my screenshot above, I have not changed the colour for context and fuzzy match icons in the middle column, so that might be useful also and can be changed along with almost every other element in the Studio editor.

Also, there is an interesting option at operating system level around this - you can switch on "night light" in Windows 10/11 and it will change the overall Windows scheme to be more friendly to the eyes - might also be worth a try.



Thanks, Daniel

In recent years, dark theme has become a must on both mobile and desktop operating systems, with all major apps, even the free ones, following suit and allowing for automated switching between light and dark mode, based on user settings in the operating system. Trados is a paid software and should absolutely adopt this industry standard. The dark theme would help release the strain on our eyes in the evenings.

Here is an additional idea you might be interested in voting for as well: "More color schemes for Studio and MultiTerm

Agree! For the 2021 edition
