Dear All Colleagues ,
I understand that most of you use and rely on one or more CAT tools to boost your productivity, and some of them do provide sort of limited setting functions to customize some appearances. However, it is a pity that the user experience of all the tools is far from satisfactory in terms of eye protection, due to lack of a user-friendly dark mode/dark theme.

Personally I find it very distracting when using them to translate, especially after I got used to the dark mode of some programming IDEs, such as VS Code (https://code.visualstudio.com/), which I use frequently to write markdown files.
Hence, I would like to call for actions from all of you to urge/push all main stream CAT tool providers as well as Proz.com to provide a more user-friendly dark mode/dark theme in their desktop clients and web versions.
Thank you very much. ▲ Collapse

This works only in this specific setup, because memoQ is the only Windows program I use -- all other programs are handl... See more I absolutely agree and find it baffling that these programs do not offer this option.

Take a look at Cafetran, you can configure the background/fonts/segments with different colour schemes.

It's not easy to handle the magnifier tool well during translating.

This is the one with dark theme and full color scheme customization function.
Great to know this.

| | | | | There are a lot of key missing visual features in modern CAT tools | Jun 11, 2022 |
Dark mode is one. I'd prefer full black background for AMOLED screens.
Another feature I'd kill to get on MemoQ: to color code TM matches to highlight your own entries to set them apart from the "geniuses" you're forced to work with
