Win7 dark mode

Post by Ian556 »

I am trying to change mode from light to dark. I am running Win7 sp2. But the program will not go into dark mode. I select the dark mode. Then click on ok. Programsay must restart to activate . But it does not change from light mode to dark. I tried with version 17 latest download

I also tried older versions. But no luck to change the interface.

Appreciate any help on this

Thanks

Dark mode is not supported in Windows 7. wxWidgets uses some undocumented APIs on Windows to support dark mode, which are not implemented until a higher version of Windows 10. You must update your system, or you will only have a partly dark codelite.
