Is there a way I can change my Quicken color scheme to a "Dark" mode? It seems everything in the edit | preferences | register has all "Light" options. Hard on my old eyes! I would prefer a black or Lighter high contrast colors over a black or darker background. Ideas???

    Unfortunately, Quicken for Windows does not currently support Dark Mode. However, there are a couple of workarounds you can try:

    1. Use Windows High Contrast Mode: Go to Settings > Accessibility > Color filters, toggle on color filters, and select Inverted Mode. This will make Quicken appear darker, but it will also affect all other apps.
    2. Use Magnifier's Invert Colors Feature: Press Windows key + = to open Magnifier, then press Ctrl + Alt + I to invert colors. This will make Quicken appear in a dark theme.

    @Dave Robinson there is currently an enhancement request that you can add your vote to. It looks like it already has enough votes to be considered and planned for a future enhancement. But they never say when that will be.

    It is being held hostage by Mac OS-biased developers 😁

    What do Mac developers have to do with a mod to Quicken for Windows? Is dark mode ready for roll out in Q for Windows but they are waiting on dark mode to be finished in Q for Mac OS so they can roll out dark mode for both Windows and Mac OS at the same time?
