Atleast it would help to have a good argument to motivate someone more familiar with Qt code to set it as a higher priority than anything else.Įven if you don't know any free software, it doesn't change the fact that development, bug reports and feature requests place is in GitHub and that anyone can suggest improvements or create a pull request and get a chance to get help from more knowledgeable users to help with any feature ideas get implemented sooner. If someone knew, it was free, open source and used Qt, then that would make it a lot quicker and easier to mostly copy-paste neccesary code into qBit and get a basic feature added. It's odd if you can't name any free software to have a feature that many apps have. Posting additional options or more features should be requested in a seperate feature request and in GitHub. Users requested native dark mode with Windows OS, not anything else and that's enabled with qBit v5.0. However I don't think that much of qBittorrent users have any idea about Qt or the fact that current set of improvements took 2 years. UI development is difficult when you have to target multiple platforms, OS versions and etc. Since qBit relies a Qt has various bugs, then maybe that's why nobody bothered to include multiple built-in themes or even include any workarounds before Qt gets more compatible with Windows OS default themes. The current default theme in v4.5+ took 2 years, so development to get any different default UI is slow if those who know how easy or annoying it is are more interested in fixing and improving other code than focusing on UI changes. That's great! Huge thanks to the all app qBittorrent developers. There is no rush but it would be odd to say that "dark theme" feature is complete and works well.Ĭurrently, built-in Windows OS native theme support is enabled only in v5.0.0alpha1, WebUI is also being worked on. That's great! However the fact that there some advantage over some other app should not lead anyone to thing that a certain feature is complete or well done. qBittorrent settings window mentions UI theme settings and dark theme however provides zero (literally zero) information on how the dark theme can be enabled.Īt least qBit has custom theme files and UI Theme editor built-in that many software are missing. I bet nobody expected that it would be necessary to add command like parameters to actually enable the dark theme. I think nobody hasn't bothered to create a feature request in GitHub to see if such 3 basic settings are going to be implemented by anyone. How many Qt based torrenting clients have got such theme options? How many software (not apps) with such settings use Qt dependency? Or on desktop, copy your qBit shortcut, rename it as qBit Dark Mode, then right-click on it, select properties, and then change the Target field to: "C:\Program Files\qBittorrent\qbittorrent.exe" -windows:darkmode=2 Open Start Menu, right-click on the qBit shortcut, select to open its location, now right-click on the shortcut file, right-click on it, click properties, and then change Target field to: "C:\Program Files\qBittorrent\qbittorrent.exe" -windows:darkmode=2 "C:\Program Files\qBittorrent.exe" -platform windows:darkmode=2Īlternatively, you can modify qBit shortcuts: Right-click on your Windows Start Menu icon, then select RUN, then copy and paste the default qBit location with the extra command and press OK: Exit qBittorrent and make sure it's fully closed.Ĥ. Make sure you disable custom theme in qBit.ģ. Enable dark theme in Windows OS settings.Ģ. This is how I got qBit v4.6 Dark Mode in Win11:ġ. Windows Qt Fusion style is the default in qBit v5.0.0alpha1 to get native proper dark mode, which automatically applies immediately whenever you change your OS settings. You have the option to change text colors and icon files in qBit, just change your Windows theme settings and qBit will still use white background, but will change other things. There's no dark background built-in theme, button to switch or option to change background colors. Same misunderstanding was posted and littlebit explained in GitHub:
