Designer wise font style and dark mode

Inactive User
Not applicable

On Alteryx Designer Version: 2022.3.1.450 Patch: 2, I cannot find options to set system-wide font style and an option to switch between dark mode and light mode, Options - User Settings - Canvas is not a much of help as it offers granular level settings which I am not familiar as a new user.

Hi @Inactive User 

 

Unfortunately, there's no dark mode available yet. 

 

There's one hack for this, credit to @Mausam

If you are using windows 10, you may try inverting the screen colors. 

1) Press Windows key + "+" button to open the magnifier.

2) Next press 'Ctrl' + 'Alt' + "I" buttons to invert the colors.

 

And make sure the magnifier is set to 100% so you get the proper display.

 

And this is what it will look like:

Hi @Inactive User,

 

As @martinding says, Dark Mode is not available yet but it is coming soon!  I've been campaigning for DM for a while and you can follow the progress here:

Also on that link you can find details of a stepping stone towards Dark Mode: dark canvas.  The settings seem a little daunting but I've included what I use  below and I think it works well whilst we wait for the full DM:

If you want to copy, here are the settings go to Options > User Settings > Edit User Settings and make the following changes under the Canvas tab:

Hope that helps!
