Dark Mode for Studio!

I know there are ways to customize colors in Options, but I seem to not be able to dial it in right. Other IDEs Ive used have a native nice looking dark mode so Id like to see that implemented.

    Shaun, thank you for your idea. Based on information from InterSystems and Developer Community experts (see comments below), this mode is supported in VS Code and all code can be developed there. That's why the status of ideas was changed to "Will not implement".

    It's worth mentioning that "dark mode" is often a proxy for "high contrast", which is an accessibility issue for people with vision problems, more than just an aesthetic issue.

    All your customizations definitely can be migrated to VSCode, just post in the extensions repository for features you want to get if not available. No reason to make anything in such an outdated tool

    It would also be nice to have a Dark Mode for Terminal and Management Portal.

    Available with the click of 1 button.

    Just wanted to point out that VS Code supports fully customizable dark themes and the InterSystems Language Server extension (best installed as part of the ObjectScript Extension Pack) is shipped with a dark theme that provdes rich syntax coloring for ObjectScript by default.
