Dark mode.

[Kol12]

I feel quite dumb but how do you enable dark mode? I can't find a setting. I have the latest beta installed. Also is it possible to enable dark mode in HWiNFO without enabling dark mode globally in Windows?

 

[Martin]

No, it requires Dark Mode for apps enabled in Windows 10.
I'm still working on improving this mode, the next build will bring more advances. Perhaps one day it will be possible to enable it without the global option in Windows enabled.

OK but how do you enable it in HWiNFO once dark mode is enabled in Windows? Still couldn't find an option.

 

[Martin]

It should automatically run in Dark Mode once enabled in Windows, but needs to be restarted when you change (enable/disable) the mode in Windows.

 

[Kol12]

Restarted no change. Win 10 version 2004 with latest "preview" cumulative update.

 

[Martin]

What's the content of HWiNFO64.INI file? Can you post a screenshot of Dark Mode setting in Windows?

 

[Kol12]

Basically I'm just selecting dark mode from Settings/Personalization/Colors/Choose your color/Dark

Have you restarted HWiNFO after enabling Dark Mode? Can you post a screenshot of the Personalize/Colors screen?

 

[OveR]

Hi I'm using Windows 7 and it would be nice if we could get option in settings that enables dark mode. Current settings for dark mode are default and disabled. Setting it to default will just use white theme on Windows 7.

 

[Martin]

Currently Dark Mode is supported under Windows 10 only.

I just found this thread and wanted to thank you guys for adding dark mode.
