Configuration - Options - Color
To try the dark mode on older Windows versions, including Windows XP and 7, please choose Configuration - Change settings files directly.
Then look for [Configuration] in wincmd.ini. Below, add a new line containing:
ForceDarkModeOptions=1
Then restart Total Commander.
Here are some known problems:
- On Windows versions older than Windows 10 version 1809, the scrollbars in all listboxes cannot be shown in dark mode.
- On Windows versions older than Windows 10 version 1809, the context menus are all bright (no dark mode).
- On ALL Windows versions, standard Windows dialogs including "Properties" and "Connect network drive" are all bright (no dark mode).
- On Windows 10 versions older than Windows 10 version 1809, the title bar is white by default. However, you can choose to use the Windows 10 accent color for all the title bars, e.g. dark blue.
- On Windows 10 version 1809 or newer, the context menus do NOT change between light and dark mode when you change the mode in Configuration - Options - Color until you close and re-open Total Commander
- On Windows 7 with themes disabled, changing between light and dark mode causes problems in the Lister main menu until you close and re-open lister
