    I have to say: I hate the new bluish dark theme in version 1.37. I don't have a problem with the blue or color selection in general, but the contrast is way too harsh and it's ******* my eyes. I much prefer the previous version's dark theme. Look at the difference in these screenshots. The new one is eye-searing

    The dark mode is good so far there are a few places that some of text in the aggregation pipeline editor that strains my eyes.

    The dark blue text on the dark blue background in the attached file is what is causing some trouble.

    If you don't want to scrap that design you could also introduce a high contrast light and dark theme for accessibility.

    DarkMode for Compass :O ?! This is actually like a christmas gift (i just found out though) thank you huMONGOusly, Santa ;)

  • Ed commented  ·   ·  Report

    Good start, but there's:
    - blue/grey tones palette on the side bar and status bar.
    - black sombre tones on the editor/viewer and titlebar

    May I suggest the blue/purple/gray palette as the overall theme and the one least likely to seem cold and stark. Although there's nothing stopping a range of options really where it could be light, dark, darker running from the eye-killer white, to the blues & greys, to the blacks.

    Good start, looking forward to further beautification.

    Thanks for answering the prayers

    Thanks for implementing it ! Been using the beta

    I think it could use a bit more contrast on collection items (darker background or lighter text colors) for readability, but other than that I'm liking it :)

    Pls help save my eyes. I can live several other annoyances and bugs in the tool but can't without a dark mode.

    It's been years for this feedback. Are we even getting their attention?

  • Matus commented  ·   ·  Report

    I can't use compass like this.
    Please make this happen, people are begging you for years!
    We all know that it is not that complicated.

    Please, just do it.
