Personally I'm not adverse to this switch even though I've not used the dark theme much, but as devils advocate a few questions arise. a. How will you make Pharo 7/8/9/etc visually distinct? a1. *cough* Switch back to white theme? a2. How much visual distinction is required? a3. Would it be easier to continually alter... background Pharo logo background colour / pattern titlebar icons, font, colour b. What are the considerations of effect on documentation? b1. PBE b2. mooc c. Will this have adequate testing? c1. Its a late change with significant impact to first impressions c2. I understand that some people have been using it a lot, but they may have narrow environments. For example, enabling the Dark theme, on my laptop with brightness turned down, I find it disconcerting that I can't distinguish where title bars run into each other. https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/19941/Dark-Theme-overlapped-title-bars-nee... cheers -ben P.S. I'm travelling so I can't work on this myself for a few days. On Sat, Apr 15, 2017 at 4:23 AM, Stephane Ducasse <stepharo.self@gmail.com> wrote:

But to me it is too late for such change. I am sure there are UI widgets/projects which looks horrible in dark. And people probably test them in pharo 6 before this change. So they will be very surprised.
no, dark theme is around since 3 years and is very depurated. In fact, many people already use it as they preferred theme.
Just open any project with Versioner. Symbolic versions are in green oval with white label. It is almost unreadable.
Let's be constructive :-)

Do you remember how many times Steph complains about style of current white theme? I am sure he not deeply look into dark.
