This question has been asked many times and here we go again.
For the love of BOINC would you please give the Manager a dark theme option for View.
Those of us with poor vision strain to read anything on the current theme.
You have a dark theme here & on your website so why not the Manager itself?
Someone is being lazy!! Please help those of us with poor eyesight!!
Latest version 7.20.2 (x64) Was referred here by BOINC Community.

Closing this as a duplicate of #3115.

Please also keep in mind, that currently wxWidgets (GUI library used in BOINC Manager) has no native support of dark mode on Windows, so this is not so easy feature to implement.

Who created it in the first place? It seems they weren't considering the users.
Were they wrong referring me here?

This is NOT a duplicate. That other post is about Linux not Windows.

Maybe that is not obvious enough (and this is my fault), but the ticket I mentioned is generic one for all desktop OSs.

OK, thank you.

wxWidgets seems to be developing a dark mode theme for MS Windows, but running in all kinds of bugs.

This issue has been going on for years and I don't think anyone is seriously concerned about those of us impacted by the washed out regular appearance of the Boinc Manager (Advanced Mode). I have no idea why it's so difficult to implement, but apparently it is.
I've had to drop BOINC because it was too much of a strain on my eyes.
