Desktop Dark Mode

Was hoping Logos 10 would have some changes to dark mode. I am still hoping and praying that Logos will have a dark mode with Black (true black) background and White (pure white) text. The current color scheme still hurts my eyes—but at least it is better than black text on white background.

Please fix this.

Totally agree. The dark mode ought to be true black rather than the current dark gray.

Select Start > Settings . Select Personalization > Colors. In the list for Choose your mode, select Custom. In the list for Choose your default Windows mode, select Dark.

Oh, if 'twere only so easy! But 'tweren't! The first image is Logos using my System settings which are dark to start out with. When I create a High Contrast theme in Windows, I get a better appearance with just the text, but then all the menu bars in Logos are bright white, and the window header is an obnoxious yellow (which is also the appearance, now of *every other app on my system*!

The real issue here is that IF (and that is an emphatic IF) the Logos software developers are able to assign dark gray to a background and light gray to text on the desktop app--and I know they are able to do this, because I see it every time I run Logos--then, I KNOW that they are able to make that same very minor change to the code to have a pure black background with either pure white text or light grey text (RGB: 191, 191, 191 should be fine). The issue is not that we should simply manipulate our PCs so that ALL of our apps look atrocious, but that this app has a useable "Dark Mode" that doesn't hurt our eyes.

As a PHD student I spend many, many hours staring at texts and writing. Even Word does not have a true black background for text, but as you can see in the third image, it is still darker than Logos, and it is still less harsh on my eyes. I'm just trying to have eyes that are not quite so exhausted at the end of the day.

This is not a new issue. Ever since Logos introduced the "Dark Mode" on the desktop app, users have been complaining about it. And yet, I have yet to have any FaithLife employee or developer chime in on this complaint and offer any reasonable defense as to why they--and I choose this word very tentatively--"refuse" to change it. The mobile apps have a true black background and no one seems to be complaining about that!

Again, this is a very simple fix. It takes two lines of code! One to change the default background color; one to change the default font color. I know, I programmed databases for 25 years.....

Remove Cursor Icon When Not In Text Box
Often I'll be writing my sermon in the Sermon Builder and navigate away from the text box by clicking in another application or even window in Logos. However, Logos continues to retain the cursor icon in the text box even though I'm not in it. This subtle cue often leads to me accidentally beginning to type thinking I am…
