MW Pro Skins

Tue Jan 17, 2017 7:30 pm

Are there plans to have some darker skins for MWP? I really need a dark user interface given issues with my eyes. MWP is not even compatible with inverted colors and high contrast settings for accessibility in Windows 10. A darker user interface option, e.g., white text on a black background, would be helpful.

There's no immediate plans, though we could look to improve upon the colour variations/brightness options there are now. You can try those by clicking Display Options in the main MailWasher screen, there's the Colours section for spam/neutral/good emails and a Brightness option

That is unfortunate. A simple option to at least make the main window background something other than white would be very helpful.

MWP assumes its rendition from the colors of the background and fonts of the visual style on one's Operating System — here are a few examples:—

The results from my previous post were from a visual style for Windows 7 which I had downloaded way back in 2012.

I see, so it is not really relevant to the standard windows 10 environment. Unless I have missed something, none of the Windows 10 available themes or colors would yield what you have shown above, other than the high contrast themes.

Right, the theme that I had downloaded was a 3rd party visual style (created by somebody at DeviantArt) — none of the Microsoft themes were able to bring the effects you see on my illustrations. :(

Indeed. Hence, my suggestion that there be some consideration given to adding some options for rendering the MWP background in more muted or dark colors as this is a common feature of modern applications for night viewing, accessibility issues, etc.

Oh yes, would certainly like to see some skins with a darker background and lighter font (something not confined merely to the Titlebar.) :thumbsup
