ATI Desperately needs a theme or at the minimum a Dark Version of their app?

Thread needs solution

This Is something Acronis needs to get on top of. Google has taken the reins so to speak with making things dark and apple has followed but microsoft win10 is why it caught on I think but other O/S did it before them obviously linux etc. Lots of SW companies are adding dark version switches to their software, even comodo has skins for their software. The current "UI" user interface is ugly as all hell if you ask me. They need to move to a dark material design like everyone else. Granted the design is semi material based its flat white basic theme. Which is minimal and alright but if Acronis doesn't want to go through the trouble of rewriting all that visual C# or whatever language this was written in to add an entire custom theme menu the least they could do is add a "Dark Switch" Into settings which unlike theme engines being built in the dark switch is extremely easy to write into the software. At least thats the case usually not sure how ATI is structured so I couldn't say from a programmers perspective. Just was wondering if we could get some forum support for this Idea so maybe we can get the programmers to add this to the 2020 version of ATI. Heck if they did it for the 2020 version I'd buy ATI again I just upgraded from 2016 to 2019 last week and I'd still upgrade again just for the dark version of the app lol. IMO ATI is the best recovery SW there is hands down I use it on everything from linux to windows I havent tried it on IOS yet but either way it is the best and it needs a Dark version. I hope most of you agree with me.

I started this topic b/c of this thread but this needs to come to the attention of the Acronis programmers to make this happen so going to post an OP.

John, welcome to these public User Forums.

I would recommend using the Feedback tool in the main ATI GUI to make your request for a dark theme.

Personally I hate dark themes and change any that come by default, but that may be down to my age etc!  The world would be a duller place if we all liked the same things so good luck with your quest here!  Keep an eye out for any forum topics announcing Beta testing for ATI 2020 in the next few months, as that is a good platform to give feedback to the developers when participating!

Thanks yeah was wondering how to become part of the beta testing program? Also if I do will they give me an updated key for 2020 after the beta is over? JW some companies do that for beta testers others dont.

John, Acronis normally let the MVP's and some previous beta testers know about new programs then publish new betas via the main Acronis web site.  Acronis give keys to the more active beta testers normally.

Ok thankyou yeah definitely good info I mean I literally have ATi doing backups 4 times a day lol and I generally end up needing it once or twice a week depending on what I do to screw up windows lol. I modify windows files all the time so I have some problems some times lol. I love making windows themes what can I say lol.
