Re: Dark mode for MAKEMKV?
Another dark mode bump, I usually do my ripping at night and its blinding going back and forth from dark themed windows to bright white in makemkv

Re: Dark mode for MAKEMKV?
Agreed. This would be a great feature. I often use MakeMKV in the evening, so having a dark mode would be wonderful.
Re: Dark mode for MAKEMKV?
I'm on Arch Linux (btw)
personally and I used qt5ct to enable dark mode on makemkv.
Here is a version of qt5ct for windows which should enable dark mode for makemkv windows if you can install it.

I haven't used it myself as I don't have a spare windows machine to test it out on but hopefully it helps.
if anyone here can have a look and provide instructions/install guide that would be great.

Re: Dark mode for MAKEMKV?
I have a modded build of the GUI with a dark theme applied. Use it alongside an existing install of MakeMKV on Windows.

Someone really should setup a Git for the GUI on gitlab, githube or even git.makemkv.com using Gitea or whatever.

On Linux. Install qt5ct and adwaita-qt packages to get dark theme.

Re: Dark mode for MAKEMKV?
Sure, you can do that with any dark theme on a Linux desktop but, having it specific to the GUI is good for "other" operating systems.
Sadly without a Git repo somewhere that someone can pull from, it's near pointless to take your time to modifying the code. The GUI is technically "OSS", but it's not collaborative thus not worth the time.
