Maybe I am alone who do not like the dark theme. 

you can put a preference to switch it back.

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. 

Also I am really wondering that this decision was not publicly discussed. We should vote for such kind of changes. 

no, this is not how it works. 
We do not vote: most of the decisions are made by consensus and there is also the board who takes some decisions without asking because we pursuit an objective: for example we did not ask anybody if they wanted a new browser, we (the board) decided that Nautilus was not good enough and then we pushed for Calypso. 

Anyway settings are recovered at image startup. So I can live with it. 

yep, that���s the idea��� nothing is irreversible :)

Hello guys,

I wanted to let you know that we talked at the board and we want to make the DarkTheme a default for Pharo 6.0.
This is just because we want to have a visual immediate reference of changing things (yeah, marketing ;) )

Those which still do not like it can still execute

Pharo3Theme beCurrent.

(in their startup actions, if you want)

And everything will be as before.
