Can I change Quicken to follow Windows Theme?

Dave Robinson

I am using Quicken Classic Business & Personal on a Windows 10 machine. I would like to have Quicken run in "Dark" mode. Is this possible? Currently, the register and other screens in Quicken are White or a very light color. Can I "flip" the color scheme to a much darker background and the letters/font to be lighter such as White?

QWin doesn't currently support Dark Mode.

But, if you search for Dark Mode in the box at the top of the page you'll find multiple references to it, a possible "hack", and an Idea to implement Dark Mode that you can vote upon.

@Dave Robinson I don't think there is a way to have Quicken follow the Windows color scheme. 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 I posted a link to a "product enhancement request" in your other thread regarding Dark Mode. It looks like it has enough votes to be "Planned" but they never say when it will be implemented.
