Yes, you can force the color scheme with a command line argument on all platforms. So, on Windows, edit the ChimeraX shortcut's properties and add "--color-scheme light" (without the quotes) at the end of the Target field. For dark mode, use the "dark" color scheme. Someday there will be a preference for that. -- Greg On 12/16/2024 11:06 AM, Daniel Asarnow wrote:
Hi Greg, Dark mode is great but doesn't work well with my display preferences on Windows - is there a way for me to disable it in ChimeraX without changing my Windows display preferences?
(I don't mind at all on my Mac - no accounting for taste...)
Best, -da

FYI, the ChimeraX daily build now has dark mode support. So if you set your desktop to use dark mode, ChimeraX should follow. It's a work in progress, and it depends on developer's making their code dark mode aware (eg., icons may need to be modified), but if you notice any black text on a dark background, please let me know.
