Dark Mode in Windows App

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:

2.
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
