Dark Mode in Windows App

[Dwarvenlord]

I have searched all over and can not find a solution for enabling dark mode in a version of filebot bought from the windows store.

It being a windows app, any shortcuts to filebot that are created are not able to have the executable line edited to specify a script to run for enabling dark mode.

Is there a workaround?

What have you tried so far?

What does the console output say?

The filebot command should work as usual. The Windows Store takes care of that.

The application works perfectly. It is just so so white!

I am trying to put it into a dark mode theme. I found a post by you that talks about starting File bot with a script designating the theme to use. It said to star it with -script fn:properties --def net.filebot.theme=Darcula Since I can not edit the command line (which is where I assume you put this) as it is a windows app, I have no way to specify a script to run at startup.

I have windows 10 dark mode enabled in the OS, but file bot is not opening in the system colors, but rather the standard white. I believe this is due to the way MS handles system colors in dark mode.

Is there a way to get the windows app to display in a theme different than the standard skin?

Also, there is no Console version that I can find for the windows app. Am I missing something?

1.
Open the Windows Console: Press Win+R, then type cmd, then hit ENTER:

Once you have a console window open, you can run filebot commands:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:properties --def net.filebot.theme=Darcula

Gotcha! I had the free java version for a while, and it had a console option. I thought that is what you meant.

When I run

Code: Select all

C:\>filebot -script fn:properties --def net.filebot.theme=Darcula

I get this in response

Code: Select all

"net.filebot.theme" is not a valid identifier

is there any way to convert from a Windows License to a Java License, or do I have to rebuy it completely?

No idea. What does filebot -script fn:sysinfo say?

If the properties script doesn't work, then you can also set this setting via the FILEBOT_OPTS environment variable:

Code: Select all

setx FILEBOT_OPTS -Dnet.filebot.theme=Darcula

or

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:properties --def net.filebot.theme=Darcula

Awesome, that worked like a charm. Thank you so much!
