I've been through the forum & realise that a dark mode for Sierra Chart has been discussed quite a bit before. I realise there are some issues with the compatibility of Windows and Sierra Chart due to it running in a Win32 frame - so DWM colouring doesn't have access to colour setting - neither does Sierra Chart from the app itself - Windows limits access to the frame settings for SC I've seen this youtube video which recommends switching to high contrast mode Tried that and it's too jarring for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDRMHFbCAhc&t=108s QUESTION: Is there any other way to force the top title bar to a dark/black colour? See attached light-titlebar-win11.jpg Someone mentioned regedits - although this seems to be for Windows 10 - not Windows 11 (as I'm now running) - any regedits for Win 11? Otherwise any good/safe github projects that can do the job? |

I have done the regedit on Windows 11 and it makes the top of the window dark, I don't think it is possible to make the menu area dark.

There are various custom themes available that rely on UltraUXThemePatcher from Cleodesktop. - https://cleodesktop.com/nac-theme-for-windows-11-mod-for-sierrachart/ - https://cleodesktop.com/full-dark-pro-windows-11-mod-for-sierrachart/ This involves installing third-party software, but it does solve the issues related to dark mode in Sierra Chart. |
