    yes

  • yes pls!
  • YES. DO IT!
  • Dark mode is great but sometimes I can see the standard mode better. I hesitate changing because I don’t want to have to reset the program

    @Jamaral Gilchrist  Whether one wants it to cycle automatically (our systems usually set it to sun-up and sun-down) or manually as wanted.. it ought to change without reboot. Logos needs modernizing, in many ways.. and this area should be a very easy one to fix

    There is zero technical reason why the color palette desired should require a reboot of the app

    Yes, please! And make it a true dark mode, not just a dark gray background!

    Parker - I thought the "gray background" was the product of my 2017 Macbook monitor.  I thought a newer/high-resolution one would remedy that.  It's interesting to hear it's not just my old Mac.

    I would prefer to keep some shade of gray (darker is fine) but not pure black. It's rare for any app to use pure black because the contrast is too high, especially for reading when the font is pure white. It'd be great if there were a few options for customizing things like this. And yes, all editable without restarting the app.

    @Josiah Young  On the mobile app they have pure black as a background (at least for the iOS versions I use), and I've found it easier to read, but granted that might just be a subjective preference on my part. Do you use the mobile app, and if so have you found it easier to read with the dark mode on the desktop compared to the mobile app?
  • Seems what the people want! I concur. (Side note, enjoying reading in Bible app with dark blue background)
  • Absolut! Der Neustart nervt einfach nur...

    Is there any ETA on this? :) Twice a day it's my ritual to restart Logos and redo all my split-screen arrangement afterwards, but would gladly let go of this. :)
  • Yes, a dark mode without restarting and having to full screen all open windows etc... would reduce friction... and enable more focus on the scriptures... which surely would be for the best! 

    Perhaps this is hard to implement correctly for users with lots of windows open... fair enough... how about simply allowing the user to alter the theme of the opened book / window, and not the whole application... I imagine that would be better than no change at all without a restart... 

    I upgraded to Logos 10 Foundations to enable this feature (previously one had to restart, and I had assumed this was because I didn't have the most recent version... but apparently not!)

    The Lord continue to open the scriptures to us....

    Please implement this feature! Having to restart the app interrupts my workflow.

    … and having dark mode themes along the lines of Safari extension [Noir](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/noir-dark-mode-for-safari/id1581140954) would be an added plus.

    I have dark/high contrast/standard modes (yes, really). I would like to not have to restart Logos each time, and also respect the modes.

    This is completed

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    @MJ. Smith  Is this? I don't seem to have this feature working, I always need to restart the app manually (on macOS).

    @Istvan  It is available on Logos Pro early access.

    I am running the latest version (it says it is 37.0) and still does not seem to work (at least on macOS). Do I need to download a different version somewhere? Is this feature still in some kind of early access/beta version?

    I simply don't understand why this is marked as "Done". This clearly does not work on macOS - the only change is that the app no longer prompts for a restart when the system switches to dark mode, but the app does not adapt at all without a restart.

    @Istvan  This feature is available as part of a Logos Subscription. If you're a subscriber and this isn't working, please post on our Community Forums or contact Customer Support for support.

    I see, thanks @bradley-grainger  for clarifying. I purchased all content I needed from Logos to aid reading scripture in original languages so I don't think I need a subscription to be honest (since I don't need more content - or what I might occasionally need is probably in the highest tier), but I totally understand you guys need to generate revenue in order to go on. :)

    However without subscription the app now does not show the "You need to restart" message like it did in earlier versions when the system is toggling dark mode - maybe you should add that notification back and mention that for automatic switch one needs to subscribe. In its current state the app simply gives the impression that it is broken - which is somewhat off-putting to would-be subscribers (but of course requiring a subscription for a dark-mode switch, which is arguably a basic system feature, might also be somewhat off-putting).
