<div class="markdown_content"><p>Any updates on this?<br/> A dark mode is in most IDE state of the art already.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>CODESYS IDE is not a modern IDE. Its interface is ugly, its operation is not user-friendly, its functions are lacking, its feedback is slow, and its development is not good enough. In fact, CODESYS is a helpless choice under the current situation. But this situation will not last long. For example, SIMATIC AX is a strong competitor of CODESYS, which is more open and inclusive.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>maybe the compiler of the IDE can only use this color and other colors have to be licensed?</p> <p>But seriously, I agree with the request.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>😁<br/> Yes, exactly... I have a clue about the why not... But really, it was many years, releases ago... </p> <p>Agree, this is not a functionality customers would pay for, but it's one rendering the product cool and contemporary. Like many other "simple" features like: </p> <ul> <li>Opening multiple projects within the same IDE</li> <li>Not just attaching, but editing diverse files inside the IDE (like XML, TXT, SVG?)</li> <li>Use 3rd, CODESYS independent plugins, editors inside the IDE...</li> </ul> <p>Isn't it possible to integrate CODESYS Engineering under VS? Or just use the core functionality from VS? Or the LINUX guys have a better idea?</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>yeah a proper dark mode across the entire IDE would be ideal. <br/> Make it so number one!</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>I wanted a dark mode before, but now I want it even more, to see that joke make it into the SP release presentation. Classic!</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi,</p> <p>I would love a editor wide dark mode too. The Combination of a white program and only the editor in dark is a horror for the eyes.<br/> Robert</p></div>
