Can we change the back ground color to dark?

I would like to do stuff at night, without destroying my eyes.

I have my iPad set to automatically change the screen lighting warmer colors at night, even brings down the brightness - still tough on the eyes.

Darker background like Unity (Game Engine) and Blender (3D Modeling) would really help.

Thanks.

Indeed, having dark mode would be great. Hope that developers will implement this feature soon 🙂

Hi,

You can change the Theme in the Settings, by default is uses the OS’s setting, but you can change between Light and Dark as you prefer. 🙂

I don’t think this is satisfactory. I think the background color should me selectable in the app. Thank you.
